Low-E vs EnergyTech: what is the difference?
Both are the same kind of glass: a hard-coat (pyrolytic) Low-E coating, and they perform almost the same. EnergyTech is the Viridian brand, made in Australia, with certified performance data that energy ratings and building reports can quote. Low-E is imported unbranded Low-E glass: same job, lower price. Need certified data for your builder or energy assessor? Choose EnergyTech. Otherwise Low-E gives the same result for less.Prices: our online price for one 1000 × 1000mm double glazed unit (6mm toughened + argon + 6mm toughened), delivery included.

Which glass
Grey and Super Grey are body tints: they cut glare and give privacy by day, but add no insulation beyond normal double glazing.
Low-E Grey blocks the most solar heat (SHGC about 0.24) and insulates like Low-E (U value about 1.7). Sunergy Euro Grey combines the best insulation (U value about 1.3) with strong heat control.
Low-E Neutral and Soltech Neutral balance light and heat control with a lighter tint. Evantage Grey, Soltech Grey and Sunergy Cool are further solar control options when a specific shading figure has been specified.
For clear, bright glass with the best insulation, see our Low-E double glazed units. For any other combination, use the build your own double glazed unit page.
Before you order
A sealed unit cannot be cut, drilled or altered after it is made, so every dimension has to be final. Measure the rebate, not the old glass, and check the unit thickness at the end of each line fits your frame. Tell us which side faces outside.

HOW YOUR GLASS IS HANDLED
- All glass meets Australian Standards.
Please check your glass before signing. If anything has been damaged in transit, tell the driver at the point of delivery and we will arrange a remake.
ON DELIVERY DAY
Someone needs to be on site to receive and check the order. Larger and thicker panels can be heavy enough to need two people to move safely. If you are unsure about the weight of your panel, ask us before delivery day.
