Low E helps keep heat out in the summer and heat in during winter. It blocks the indoor heat from escaping in the winter months. And in the summer, it reflects over 80% of the sun's infrared and ultraviolet rays which fade carpets, draperies and furniture. At the same time, it allows visible sunlight to enter the room.
Argon gas replaces the air inside the glass unit. Since it is heavier than air and is not in continuous motion like air, the transference of heat and cold (convection) is greatly reduced. In essence, the argon gas provides extra insulation.
