Key Performance Features

🔬 Low-E Coating

Vacuum sputtered low-e coatings applied to the glass surface reduce infrared heat transfer while allowing visible light to pass through.

🌡️ Thermal Insulation

The sealed cavity, often filled with air or argon gas, minimizes heat conduction and improves U-value performance.

⚡ Energy Savings

Reduced heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter lowers HVAC demand, contributing to long-term energy efficiency.

💧 Comfort & Condensation Control

Improved indoor temperature stability and reduced condensation on interior surfaces.

✅ Low-e IGU is manufactured to comply with global safety and performance standards, ensuring reliability across diverse markets:

ASTM E2190 (USA) Defines IGU durability and performance, testing seal integrity, moisture resistance, gas retention, and fogging prevention.
IGCC/IGMA (USA/Canada) Certification program ensuring IGUs meet ASTM E2190 requirements through audits, sample testing, and long-term performance verification.
EN 1279 (Europe) Governs IGU performance, covering moisture penetration, gas leakage, mechanical strength, optical quality, and thermal insulation durability.
AS/NZS 4666 (AU/NZ) Establishes IGU requirements for durability, moisture resistance, gas retention, and long-term thermal performance in buildings. By adhering to these standards, South Star ensures its laminated glass solutions meet international benchmarks for safety, durability, and sustainability, making them suitable for both local and global projects.

South Star LowE Insulated Glass Units represent the convergence of energy efficiency, safety, and sustainability. With proven performance in landmark projects such as 470 Hennessy Road and The Henley, and the ability to combine lamination with IGUs, South Star continues to deliver glazing solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern architecture and urban development.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is Low-E IGU and how does the Low-E coating work?

A Low-E (Low Emissivity) IGU (Insulated Glass Unit) consists of two or more glass panes sealed together with a cavity filled with air or argon gas. The Low-E coating is a vacuum sputtered metallic layer applied to the glass surface that reflects infrared heat while allowing visible light to pass through, significantly reducing heat transfer and improving a building's energy performance.

Q Which international standards do Low-E IGUs need to comply with?

Low-E IGUs are manufactured to meet several international standards: ASTM E2190 (USA) for durability and seal integrity, IGCC/IGMA Certification (USA/Canada) for performance verification, EN 1279 (Europe) for moisture, gas leakage, and thermal insulation performance, and AS/NZS 4666 (Australia/New Zealand) for durability and long-term thermal performance.

Q What energy savings can Low-E IGUs provide for a building?

Low-E IGUs reduce heat gain during summer and heat loss during winter, which directly lowers HVAC system demand. This can result in significant reductions in energy consumption over the building's lifetime, contributing to lower utility costs and a reduced carbon footprint, making them a key component in sustainable building design.

Q Can Low-E IGUs be combined with laminated glass for added safety?

Yes. South Star enhances Low-E IGUs by integrating laminated glass technology within the unit. This combination delivers superior safety through impact resistance and fragment retention, improved security against penetration, and greater design flexibility — including options for acoustic interlayers, decorative printing, and BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) integration.

Q What landmark projects have used South Star's Low-E IGUs?

South Star has supplied Low-E IGUs for several notable projects in Hong Kong, including 470 Hennessy Road, a landmark commercial tower where both Low-E IGUs and BIPV IGUs were integrated, and The Henley residential development, where flat and curved Low-E IGUs delivered uniform façade aesthetics, thermal comfort, and sustainability performance.

Q Are Low-E IGUs suitable for both curved and flat glass façade applications?

Yes. As demonstrated at The Henley in Hong Kong, Glaspedia supplies both flat and curved Low-E IGUs with uniform coating color to ensure consistent façade aesthetics and architectural coherence. This versatility makes Low-E IGUs suitable for a wide range of modern architectural designs, from standard rectangular façades to complex curved building envelopes.
