Low emissivity and solar control glass for a warmer, cooler home

Energy efficient glass uses a special low emissivity coating to stop heat escaping through your windows and doors. It reflects warmth back into the room rather than letting it pass through the glass, which helps bring down your heating bills. As much as 26% of the heat lost from a typical home escapes through windows and doors, so upgrading the glass itself can make a real difference, even if you already have double glazing.

We supply energy efficient glass for residential and commercial properties of all types, from period homes to modern new builds. As well as cutting heating costs, low emissivity glass helps reduce condensation, leaks, and mould, since less moisture builds up against cold glass. It can also add value to your property and make rooms more comfortable to spend time in.

Solar Control Glass

Solar control glass has a special coating that reduces the amount of heat and glare entering a room. It absorbs and reflects sunlight rather than letting it flood straight through, which can reduce your need for blinds or air conditioning in the warmer months. We offer solar control glass in neutral, reflective, and tinted finishes.

FAQs

Will energy efficient glass work with my existing double glazing?

In most cases, yes. We can fit low emissivity glass into a new or replacement sealed unit, even if your current windows never had it.

How much can I expect to save on heating bills?

Savings vary depending on your property, but reducing heat loss through windows and doors is one of the most effective ways to cut ongoing energy costs.

What is the difference between low emissivity and solar control glass?

Low emissivity glass keeps warmth inside during colder months, while solar control glass reduces heat and glare from sunlight, helping to keep rooms cooler in summer.

Can solar control glass reduce the need for blinds?

Yes, because it filters glare and reflects heat, many customers find they need blinds less often, particularly in south facing rooms.
