Low E Coating Detector

• Identify Low-E Glass at the touch of a button
• Ideal for checking Document L compliance

Low-E glass is a vital component of energy efficient windows. It has a virtually invisible coating which the tool is designed to detect. The Low-E Coating Detector is a dual purpose tester designed to detect Pilkington K-Glass and all other Low-Emissivity coatings on single and double glazed units and indicate on which surface it is present.

Simply place the tool onto the glass to be tested, if the tool detects the presence of a coating on the piece of glass an audible tone will be heard and the green indicator light will be illuminated. If the tool does not detect the presence of a low-e coating on the piece of glass that it is touching no audible tone will be emitted and the red indicator light will be illuminated. If this happens simply repeat this procedure on the opposite side of the unit

In this way installers and inspectors can verify the presence of the coating and the correct orientation of the unit.
