Low-e glass
If you're renovating or building and want to improve your home's energy efficiency, Low-E glass is worth considering. Short for low-emissivity glass, this high-performance glazing helps regulate indoor temperatures, reduces energy bills and boosts comfort—all without sacrificing natural light.
What are double glazed windows?
Yes, but the benefits vary depending on location. In cooler parts of Australia (like Victoria, Tasmania or the ACT), double glazing significantly improves warmth retention. In hotter areas (like Queensland or northern NSW), it helps prevent heat gain, especially when combined with low-E glass or reflective coatings.
