Thermal resistance

The R factor is a symbol which represents the thermal resistance of materials. It is the strength of insulating.  The more R factor insulation you get, the higher it is effective without letting in heat or cold.

Solar gain

The solar contribution coefficient of insulating glazing made withPilkington Energy AdvantageTM Low-E glass is lower by only 7% compared to an insulating glazing made with a standard clear glass. Equipped with a specially designed coating for cold climates, Pilkington Energy AdvantageTM Low-E glass effectively stores heat which has the effect of reducing your heating costs.

Visible light transmitted

Pilkington Energy AdvantageTM Low-E glass looks the same inside and outside compared to the traditional clear glazing. An insulating glazing with Pilkington Energy Advantage TM Low-E glass transmits about 93% of visible light through the insulating glazing made with a standard clear glass.
