How Ecolux Low-E Works Year-Round
Summer: Blocks Solar Heat
The low-emissivity coating reflects infrared solar radiation, reducing solar heat gain by up to 40%. Your air conditioning works less, and occupants stay comfortable without heavy tinting.
Winter: Retains Interior Heat
The same low-E coating that reflects summer heat also reflects interior long-wave infrared radiation back into the room in winter, reducing heat loss through glass by up to 30%.
