The "what" and "why" of low-e coating edge deletion on glass

Low-e coating edge deletion on insulated glass - what’s the purpose and why do we do it? Edge deletion is the removal of a narrow portion of coating around the perimeter of the insulated assembly. Why apply the coating if we are just going to remove a portion of it? ◾️Low-e coatings are made up of silver metallic layers, applied to the glass to enhance thermal performance. ◾️Because of the sensitivity of the material, we must protect it from the elements (moisture) to mitigate premature corrosion. ◾️By removing a narrow strip of coating around the perimeter, we create a substrate to apply/bond a continuous primary/secondary sealant joint. ◾️The quality and continuity of edge deletion can be visually inspected prior to glazing the insulated assemblies. I hope you learned something from this one - feel free to share prior experiences and lessons learned. #LowECoating #GlassInsulation #EdgeDeletion #GlassTechnology #InsulatedGlass #GlassCoating #Construction #BuildingScience Adrian Lowenstein, P.E.⁠⁠ | ⁠alowenstein@skylinewindows.com
