Solar Control & Energy Saving Films

Windows and glass doors allow the sun's heat to radiate into your office, shop floor, or in the home. As the temperature rises or annoying glare from the sun catches the eye, working comfort and efficiency can fall.

Solar control and energy saving films reduce solar glare, summer heat gain and winter heat loss, thus reducing energy costs all year round.

  • Solar control films reflects up to 83% of the suns glare without blocking the view or the natural light and rejects up to 80% of solar heat gain. In winter certain films reflect escaping heat back into the building. Many buildings fitted with Applied Window Films have benefited from savings in air conditioning and heating costs.
  • SAFETY - Solar control film can often be combined with the properties of safety films, security films/blast fragment retention and privacy film to create a multi-purpose film to meet your specific requirements.

  • SUMMER HEAT - Solar Control Film (also known as heat reduction film) can act as a passive control measure to help achieve compliance of Regulation 7 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, which requires that premises must be kept at optimal thermal comfort levels.
  • PRODUCTIVITY – Solar glare and summer heat gain can adversely affect both concentration and productivity. A research study undertaken by Wyon in the USA shows that productivity drops by a massive 40% when temperatures rise from 68 degrees F (20°C) (the temperature at which productivity is at its highest) to 75 degrees F (24°C).

  • ENERGY SAVING – Studies have shown that solar control window film can pay for its self over a period of time in terms of energy savings on air-conditioning costs alone.

  • UV FADING – You probably wouldn`t think of spending an extended period of time in the sun without applying sunblock. Yet the same damaging ultraviolet rays attacks your furnishings all year round. Applied Window Films are constructed to help protect your furnishings by rejecting 99% of uv and a significant amount of solar heat, resulting in a newer look for longer.

  • AESTHETIC APPEAL – Solar Control Window Films are available in a wide range of colours, shades and finishes (reflective, low sheen, tint), to compliment different building styles and aesthetic requirements. It is surprising how the exterior of a modern building can be transformed into a striking example of attractive, hi-tech architecture by installing reflective, low sheen or tinted film.
