I'm wondering which one is more energy efficient. I'm leaning more towards Low-E glass, but some of the other types have me a bit confused such as reflective glass, Heat-absorbing glass, etc. Back to top Julian_Reed Forum Member Joined: 02 Mar 2008 Posts: 26 Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 5:31 pm    Post subject: I don't know to much about glass, but I would choose Low-E. After reading a lot, that seems to be the more popular choice of them all.

If I were you I would do a google search on each type of glass and select the one that best fits your needs.
