Coated glass is a type of industrial glass that has been sprayed with thin layers of metal oxides. In terms of solar energy, it changes the behavior of the glass in the visible and infrared domains. Pyrolytic and magnetron coatings are distinguished by ON. Only the internal surface of insulating glass can be treated with this substance. Flat glass with low-E, reflective, and anti-reflection coatings is known as coated glass.
