The coating is hard and has strong resistance against the weather and anti-scratch. But the disadvantage is that its energy saving function is not as good as offline low-e windows glass.

If you are using double silver low-e glass, the film side will likely show a green or blue reflection color when viewed against the solar light. When you place the double low-e glass on the white paper, it will show a green appearance as well.

The color of the low-e glass will be depended on the coating process, but compared to the clear glass, low e glass windows will absolutely look very different. The reflection color of low e glass is very obvious.
