What Is Low-E Glass?
Low-E glass has a very thin, clear coating on one face that reflects heat. Low-E stands for low emissivity, which means the glass gives off less of the heat it takes in. In a double glazed window, the coated pane sends heat back towards the side it came from. We supply it alongside argon filled, laminated, acoustic and tinted glass, in double glazed windows and doors in Melbourne's south and east.
Quick Facts
- We supply five kinds of glass, from low-E to tinted.
- Our glazing is supplied to AS 1288, the Standard for glass in buildings.
- Where it applies, the sealed double glazed panes are supplied to AS 4666, the Standard for sealed double glazing.

The Five Glass Options
A double glazed window is two panes of glass sealed together with a gap between them. A spacer, a strip that runs around the edge, holds them apart. Tap each glass to see what it adds.
Low-E Glass
A very thin coating on one pane reflects heat. In winter it sends warmth back into the room, and in summer it turns back some of the sun's heat.
Good for
A room that loses warmth on winter nights, or gets the full afternoon sun.
- Low-E Glass: A very thin coating on one pane reflects heat. In winter it sends warmth back into the room, and in summer it turns back some of the sun's heat. Good for: A room that loses warmth on winter nights, or gets the full afternoon sun.
- Argon Filled: Argon is a gas that's heavier than air. Filling the sealed gap with argon instead of air slows down the heat moving across the gap. Good for: A room that loses warmth on winter nights.
- Laminated Glass: Two sheets of glass bonded to a clear plastic layer between them. If it breaks, the pieces stick to the plastic instead of falling out of the frame. It's one of the kinds of safety glass. Good for: Glass in a door, near the floor or by a bath.
- Acoustic Glass: Laminated glass made with a plastic layer designed to damp sound. Good for: A bedroom or living room on a busy road.
- Tinted Glass: Glass with colour through it. It cuts glare and some of the sun's heat. Good for: A room that gets the full afternoon sun.
Which Glass For Which Room
When you send your photos, use the notes box on the quote form to tell us which rooms face the road or the afternoon sun. Tell us which windows are low to the floor or near a bath, too. Those details point to the right glass.

Safety Glass And The Standards
AS 1288 sets where safety glass must be used, such as in doors and in glass close to the floor. Laminated glass is one kind of safety glass.

The Frame Around The Glass
Glass is one half of a window, and the frame is the other. A plain aluminium frame carries cold straight through the metal, while a thermally broken frame has an insulating strip through the middle that stops it.
Our thermally broken series is ML102-TB. Here's how thermally broken aluminium windows work, and these glass options go into our double glazed windows and double glazed doors.
Glass And The Price
Tell us the glass you want in the notes box when you send your count, suburb and a few photos. The ballpark is worked out with that glass, and our double glazing cost guide explains how the price is worked out.

Glass Questions
What Does Low-E Mean?
Low emissivity. The glass has a very thin coating that reflects heat, so it gives off less of the heat it takes in.
What Is Argon Filled Glass?
A double glazed unit with argon gas in the sealed gap instead of air. Argon is heavier than air, so heat moves across the gap more slowly.
Is Laminated Glass Safety Glass?
Yes. Laminated glass is one of the kinds of safety glass covered by AS/NZS 2208. If it breaks, the pieces stick to the plastic layer inside it.
Do I Need Safety Glass?
In some places, yes. AS 1288 sets where safety glass must go, such as in doors and in glass close to the floor. What your job needs is confirmed on the quote.
