Lincoln offers glazing options with thoughts of energy efficiency and creature comforts alike. Whether your home is in the Sunbelt consisting of long sunny summer days, hot muggy nights and high air conditioning bills or is in the heart of the Midwest with extended periods of below-zero temperatures and high heating bills, sit in your favorite chair, relax and let our manufacturing excellence guide you through our diverse IG offering.
Energy Efficient
Insulated Glass Construction
Our insulating glass (IG) is constructed with four major components. It’s the quality of these components, sheet glass, desiccant material, sealants and spacers that set companies apart.
Let’s consider the sheet glass. We exclusively utilize double-strength glass even on the smallest sizes. Some companies believe this should be an upgrade while we eliminated the thinner glass option many years ago.
Quality desiccant material is used to absorb moisture within the IG unit during assembly and the polyisobutylene sealant provides excellent adhesion to the glass with a low moisture vapor transmission rate for years of outstanding field performance.
Endur IG Spacer
- Stainless steel spacer.
- Desiccant material.
- “Polyisobutylene” primary seal.
- Specially formulated secondary seal.
Constructed with a single LoE coating, this glass option is perfect for climates where heat retention is welcome, solar heat gain is paramount and glass clarity is vital. LoE-180™ outperforms clear IG glazing with warmer inside glass temperatures and better UV protection.
Projects looking for passive solar glazing solutions including good U-Value performance in conjunction with higher Solar Heat Gain Coefficients experience positive benefits with LoE-180™.

Our most ecologically aware combination of glass products designed for projects requiring extraordinary energy efficiencies.
As the ENERGY STAR® program ratchets up its requirements, our glass offering continues to provide consumers with an ability to comply. Lincoln’s Dual Low-E2 is the next generation insulating glass package that tackles these stricter requirements by combining LoĒ²-272® with a roomside (LoĒ-i89™ is on surface #4) low-e coating. Don’t worry, LoĒ-i89™ performs well without sacrificing glass clarity, doesn’t require special cleaning and provides additional UV protection.
This energy efficient glass lowers U-Values and retains more of your costly heat inside for the Northern and North/Central zones. Assembling Dual Low-E2 with our foam spacer system further improves U-value performance.

Controlling solar heat gain just became easier with the unparalleled performance of LoĒ³-366™/Neat® glass technology. By adding a third layer of silver coating, LoĒ³-366™/Neat® effectively blocks solar gain and reflects heat more efficiently.
In addition to reducing heat gain, the goal with any high performance glazing is clarity. LoĒ³-366™/Neat® was produced to show a minimum of exterior “mirror” reflectance and does not require smoke-colored tints that can darken your home’s interior.
Neat® glass refers to the coated exterior surface, the glass on outside of your home. The coatings consist of silicone dioxide and titanium dioxide which make glass smoother. Yes, rest assured that it won’t wipe off. In fact, it is a permanent coating you won’t be able to visually detect. Until you start cleaning your windows!!
LoE³-366™ has three-coats of silver that remain very clear so interior spaces don’t seem shaded or tinted. This coating process out performs LoE² by keeping heat from penetrating the glass pack, passing through and collecting in the building.

Lincoln’s advanced glass technology is packed with high performance attributes, built-in strength and durable spacer options.
Recent revisions and enhancements to the ENERGY STAR® program concerning Solar Heat Gain Coefficients (SHGC) make this glazing option an obvious pick. Consider these other important benefits as well: easy jobsite cleanup with Preserve® Protective Film, less frequent and easier glass cleaning when utilizing Neat® coatings, save on heating costs with great U-Values and experience less fading via superior ultraviolet protection all with good Visual Transmittance characteristics.
Choose this energy efficient glass for our best and very low SHGC numbers. LoĒ³-366™ reflects the suns heat energy back outside for more interior comfort in warmer climates and will save you money with lower air conditioning bills during the summer months in the Southern, South Central and North Central ENERGY STAR® zones. Assembling Dual LoĒ³-366™ with our foam spacer system further improves U-value performance.

Argon Gas
For greater energy efficiency, argon is added to all LoE glass units, at no cost to the customer, with the exception of those units requiring capillary/breather tubes. These units include, but are not limited to, glass 12” and less in width or height and units shipped over high elevations. Lincoln does not guarantee that the initial argon fill rate will be maintained over the life of the product. Argon depletion may decrease energy efficiency. For more information, contact your local distributor or Lincoln Wood Products, Inc.

A silicon dioxide layer that makes the glass surface ultra smooth and superhydrophilic so water sheets off leaving fewer spots. Add to that a titanium dioxide layer that reacts with the sun’s UV rays causing organic material on the glass to decompose - no manual activation required. Since the sun and the rain do most of the work, windows stay clean longer and are easier to clean when needed.
Super-thin coating applied to the exterior glass surface creates smoother glass that stays cleaner longer and is easier to clean.
Rain water disperses quickly with a sheeting affect greatly reducing stubborn water spotting because water evaporates faster.
Patented double-sputtering process results in a very durable, permanent and affordable outside coating.
Neat® coating chemically react’s with the sun’s UV rays decomposing organic materials that are rinsed away with rain water.
Ordinary Glass (Hydrphhobic)
Water beads higher on rough surface of ordinary glass, causing more spots and greater cleaning needs.
Neat® LoE Glass (superhydrophobic)
The smooth surface disperses water evenly, removing dirt more quickly and reducing water spots.
Neat Glass
Features & Benefits
- Cleaner windows
- Invisable, permanent coating
- Reduction in water spots
- No manual activation
- Easier construction cleanup
A low density polyethylene adhesive that protects the glass during shipping and construction offering savings of time and money during cleanup. Since it’s clear, it allows in natural light during the building process. Once construction is complete it simply peels off, labels and all. Also, because it contains no harmful chemicals, it can be disposed of with other waste materials
Preserve®
