Abstract:
A coated article includes a low emissivity (low-E) coating supported by a glass substrate. The low-E coating includes at least one silver (Ag) based infrared (IR) reflecting layer(s) that is provided adjacent to and contacting at least one contact layer of or including Ag, Ni and Cr. The provision of a contact layer(s) including at least Ag, Ni and Cr, directly over and contacting a silver-based IR reflecting layer, has been found to advantageously increase visible transmission (Tvis) of the low-E coating. Such low-E coating may be used in applications such as monolithic windows, insulated glass (IG) window units, and the like.
