Hi everyone
Just want to know if anyone have DG windows with low E glass. How do you find it? Does low e glass makes different to clarity of glass or make it blurry when looking out side. I want to know If it impacts on your views when looking out. I need to decide if better to go just DG or it’s good to have low e. Thanks in advance if someone can share their experience.

It is a clear glass but I think there is the slightest grey tinge to it when compared to an adjacent window. 08 May 2019 28 Junior Member Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glass 5Mar 02, 2020 9:11 pm  BebbsyWe have Low e glass (manufactured by Viridian) on our double set of sliding doors.

Does it effect the outside view when you are looking out from inside the house? As I heard it gives milky look on a glass. 08 Oct 2018 280 Silver Member Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glass 6Mar 02, 2020 10:07 pm Den45 BebbsyWe have Low e glass (manufactured by Viridian) on our double set of sliding doors.

I wouldn’t say milky, perhaps a slight haze is a better description, it’s not crystal clear compared to ordinary glass. Having said that, if you didn’t know it had a different type of glass, I don’t think anyone would even realise the difference. 08 May 2019 28 Junior Member Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glass 7Mar 03, 2020 12:32 pm Bebbsy Den45 BebbsyWe have Low e glass (manufactured by Viridian) on our double set of sliding doors.

Do you think it’s worth having Low e? 08 Oct 2018 280 Silver Member Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glass 8Mar 03, 2020 4:12 pm We’ve only been in our house for 3 weeks and had no really hot weather in that time so difficult to tell. But as we have fantastic rural views out of these windows and are not planning any window coverings it was a requirement for us to install low e glass in order to meet the 6* energy rating required here in SA. 08 May 2019 28 Junior Member Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glass 9Mar 03, 2020 10:11 pm BebbsyWe’ve only been in our house for 3 weeks and had no really hot weather in that time so difficult to tell.

Thanks. Good luck with your new home and hope you are enjoying it. 05 Mar 2013 361 NSW Gold Member Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glass 10Mar 10, 2020 8:50 pm Which direction does the glazing face? What type of low-e coating exactly? To keep the heat from the sun out, or keep your winter heating in? Low SHCG, to keep heat from the direct sun out, or high SHGC, to let it in? Different glazing solutions should be used for different orientations. 08 May 2019 28 Junior Member Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glass 11Mar 11, 2020 11:00 pm ddarrochWhich direction does the glazing face?

Different glazing solutions should be used for different orientations. It is required as per energy report and we do have some west facing windows to some bedrooms as well. Thanks Windowfactory - It's inside, and occurs in almost all of them! It isn't low-e as far as I'm aware, and the units are meant to contain a dessicant although not sure… 2 2241 The whole double glazed unit is sealed and your glazier would have brought one with him and removed the old one and installed the new one. Nothing else would work, it is standard. 3 2488  I think don't trust companies. each company has there own +ve and -ve reviews. take your own decision.which is suitable and beneficial for you... 2 4027 |
