Low-E Coated Bent Glass for Skylights from Germany
Tempered glass sheets from heading 7005, bent to curve and edge-worked with a low-emissivity (low-E) coating that reflects infrared light for energy efficiency. This absorbent/reflecting layer is a thin metal oxide film applied post-annealing, classifying it under 7006.00.4010 as worked glass not framed. Used in architectural skylight installations to reduce heat gain.
