About Window Film

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT Inexpensive. Typically costs between $60 to $230 per square metre installed

HOW DOES WINDOW FILM PROVIDE ENERGY BENEFITS? Solar control window film reduces air conditioning cooling loads because it:  Reflects solar energy back outside  Absorbs and reradiates solar energy back outside

Attractive. A multitude of looks and tints give you complete design control Assurance. Films are available in safety and security thicknesses Easy. Films can be retrofit quickly, no need to remove the glass from the frame Versatile. Suitable for all glass types—windows, doors, skylights, transoms, etc.

Low E window film offers year-round energy savings in cooler and mixed climate conditions because it:  Works the same as solar control film in reflecting, absorbing and reradiating solar

energy back outside on warm days

 On cooler days it reflects the bulk of the heat generated inside a room back into

the room , while still allowing the winter sun to enter the glass

 Glazing can account for

49% envelope heat loss and 87% envelope heat gain in a building

 Solar control window film can mean a 30% saving in cooling air conditioning usage, which equates to about 10 - 15% reduction in a home’s annual electricity costs

 Low E films work year-

round to cut about half the heat gain in summer and about half the heat loss in winter

 Main use is retrofit

 Window film is an

inexpensive and immediate solution for home energy efficiency

 Window film can reject as much as 79% solar energy - equal to the highest performing glass

 An environmentally

friendly option that offers a negative carbon footprint

 Window film offers more

value than any other window energy rejecting product like performance glass, blinds or external shades
