Installed my low-e backwards

[garyo]

Yes, I've been stupid and didn't read the labels on my door glass. Three of the four DG units are in backwards, the final one the correct way around.

I'd already fitted all the beading too, and was too annoyed at the time to rectify the glass then and there. How much difference will this make? I've read on another site that the low-e coating can corrode and cause visibility problems?

Grrr... I should just pull my finger out and swap them 'round!

Thanks

Gary

You've answered your own question already

I don't know if there'll be any long term problems, you can bet your life though that if the Inspector has an ickle device for testing if you have low E glass and decides to test your glazing you'll be changing them anyway.

It makes no difference whatsoever which side the low e coating is on the U value of the unit will be the same.
Aesthetically, there may be a slight difference but i wouldn't worry if i was you, chances are you will damage/mark the beads in the process of turning it round and that would bother you much more.
On the subject of inspectors, they wouldn't be able to tell.
