Buy Tint & Conserve Energy

Window film works by reducing heat gain and blocking solar radiation. Solar radiation, also called solar energy, is comprised of three components: ultraviolet radiation (UV), visible light, and near-infrared radiation (NIR). NIR makes up fifty three percent of the solar spectrum, visible light forty four percent, and UV three percent. When the sun hits your window, the clear glass will only stop about eleven percent through absorption and reflection combined. The remaining eighty nine percent of the heat and energy is transmitted through your window.

Solar control window film will increase the amount of heat absorbed and reflected, thus reducing the amount of heat transmitted through the window. As stated earlier, the degree of absorption or reflection will depend upon the materials used in the manufacturing process. When dealing with films that absorb heat, rather than reflect it, careful consideration and precaution should be taken. Heat absorption can cause thermal stress to your windows and cracks will appear throughtout the window.

This is why
metal films are highly recommended for residential and commercial applications. The metal films will reflect up to fifty five percent of the solar energy and only absorb around thirty three percent, giving you as much as an eighty eight percent reduction in solar energy transmitted through your window. This subsatantial reduction in heat gain lowers the load placed on your Heating Ventilation and Air Condintioning (HVAC) system during peak hours of energy consumption when utility costs are at their highest; which can yield up to a thirty percent savings on your utility bill.
