More LIGHT, Less HEAT

Spectrally selective Low-E coatings use ultra-thin molecular layers of metal and oxides to let in more visible light—while blocking much of the infrared (heat). It’s high-performance science with real design impact.

I teach classes on luxury hurricane glazing that cover these kinds of advanced performance choices—without manufacturer or dealer bias.

Topics include:

  • Balancing energy performance with comfort, color shifting, reflectivity, and visible tint

  • Understanding Low-E coating placement and its effect on appearance and thermal results

  • Navigating hurricane product approvals tied to specific glass types

  • Maximizing glass size while minimizing frame bulk and structural steel

  • Selecting the right manufacturers for each project’s needs

  • Coordinating frame dimensions with floor and wall cladding finishes

When you want large glass, high performance, and clean aesthetics—you need to understand the glazing science behind it.
