Solar Control Window Film - The Answer to Heat and Glare Problems
Even in winter, solar heat pours in through unprotected windows, causing uneven temperatures and hotspots , creating a constant battle for air conditioning systems . Solar Control window film is designed to reduce the amount of solar heat transmitted through window glass by increasing reflection and absorption through the glass. Typical coloured or tinted films work primarily through increased absorption, absorbing the solar energy at the glass, thus reducing the direct heat transmission into a room. These films only offer marginal performance when compared to metalized films or reflective films . Reflective films are precision coated with a fine layer of vaporized metal . These metalized films are designed to increase the solar energy reflection and absorption of glass. Reflective films range from moderate to excellent performance for heat gain reduction and, dependent on the grade of film chosen up to 80% of solar energy can be rejected. Films are commonly available i...
