  Architectural glass encompasses a wide range of specialised glass types that serve functional and aesthetic purposes in modern building design. Each type of architectural glass offers unique characteristics and benefits tailored to specific architectural requirements and design aspirations. Here’s an in-depth exploration of the diverse types of architectural glass and their distinctive features: 1. Low-Emissivity (Low-E) Glass Low-E glass is engineered with a thin, transparent coating that minimises the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that can pass through the glass without compromising visible light transmission. This enhances energy efficiency by reducing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, thereby lowering heating, cooling, and lighting costs in buildings. Low-E glass is particularly effective in climates with extreme temperature variations. 2. Tinted Glass Tinted glass is manufactured by adding metal oxides to the glass during production, resulting...
