Low-E Glass Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Low- e glass refers to the type of glass that is made by coating metallic particles to the glass. This glass has low emissivity, which means surface-emitting low levels of radiant heat. All surfaces are known to reflect, transmit and absorb heat to reduce the amount of heat transferred. It is also used to stop UV radiation waves in visible light.
