As energy cost keeps rising, products such as window films are becoming more and more important and valuable as an investment for residential owners and commercial facility managers. The efficiencies of solar control window films are closely related to local weather conditions, building orientation, window size, and other factors such as exterior shading conditions. Polyester films provide precise personal and property protection from the effects of the sun as well as added safety and security in the events that result in broken glass.Automotive Film
Solar control window film applied to vehicle windows provides benefits in the following three areas:
Blocks UV Radiation
- Reduces fading and interior cracking
- Increases Skin Protection
- Increases air-conditioning efficiency
- Improves occupant comfort
- Lessens eye fatigue.
- Improves vision and safety
- Protects person and/or property from stranger’s eyes
- Guards person and/or property from harm by preventing shattered glass from flying during an accident
Residential Film
When it comes to insulating your home against heat and cold, windows pose a special challenge. In summer, ordinary glass lets the sun's heat penetrate your home, making you and your family very uncomfortable and forcing your air conditioner to work harder. In winter, glass panes lose a substantial amount of your home's heat.
Solar control window film applied to the interior of your windows is a translucent solar screen that can reduce up to 80% of the sun's heat. In summer your home is cooler and more comfortable, so you can save on energy bills. In winter, some window films trap room heat for year -round comfort.
Commercial Film
Many building operators experience difficulties with heating and cooling imbalances between sunny and shaded areas of a building. Solar control window film minimizes this inequity problem and helps improve the comfort level while reducing energy use.
Peak load demand can make a substantial difference in a building's electrical costs. Many utility companies base their rate structure for a building on the maximum peak load measurement. Solar control window film helps reduce that peak and thereby the total electrical bill.
Safety / Security Film
Protection from Accidental Injury
Like an invisible shield, security films offer protection from broken glass when accidents occur at home and at work. When ordinary annealed glass breaks, it poses significant danger. The shattered pieces become daggers that can cause serious injury or even death. Designed with commanding adhesives, security films reduce the danger of broken glass by keeping the pieces together and safely attached to the film.
Protection from Violent Weather
When natural disasters occur, devastation and loss are sure to follow. Glass is often first to cause casualties during a hurricane, tornado or earthquake. Broken glass gives wind, rain, flying debris full access to your home or office, which can cause great property damage and distraction. It can significantly threaten a person’s life.
Security films are Mother Nature’s match. Able to withstand extraordinary wind and force, security film helps prevent entry of water and wind-borne debris, providing superior protection 24-hours a day. Disasters can strike with little or no warning; security films are always ready.
Protection from Crime
The most vulnerable parts of a home or a place of business are doors and windows. They are points of entry for criminals and smash-and-grab thieves. Glass is an inviting target for vandals’ intent on mischief or worse.
Although alarms and security systems are helpful, they provide little protection from experienced or determined intruders. With security films, intruders cannot quickly penetrate the glass, even by striking it with a heavy object. Usually they become discouraged and depart in search of an easier target.
Protection from Explosions
In an instant, an explosion can fire broken glass fragments at lethal speeds. Research conducted after explosions, points to flying and broken glass as one of the main causes of death or injury.
While nothing can completely protect against powerful explosions, security films have proven their effectiveness in these moments of extreme danger.
