Low-E or low-emissivity glass was created to minimize the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that comes through your glass, without minimizing the amount of light that enters your home. Low-E glass windows have a microscopically thin coating that is transparent and reflects heat. The Low-E coatings keep the temperature in your home consistent by reflecting the interior temperatures back inside.
