Solar Heat Gain

This solar energy meters show in the amount of incident solar energy that passes thru your glass. As you can see the meters below give you a great sense of how well window film can perform. With film you can block nearly all the solar energy that passes thru the glass. Example is a Dual Pane Low E Commercial Unit.

  How Window Film Works

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Window film rejects up to 82 percent of the sun's total energy.

Air-conditioning costs are minimized making it easier for your home to keep its cool. However on the other hand…window film will also help reflect interior radiant heat. Reducing heat loss through the glass keeps you warmer and helps save money day and night, all winter long.

Actual temperature test performed in MD on Dec 21st, 2010 with an outside air temperature of 41 degrees. Surface temperature test show significant reduction of heat.

Imagine what a difference this could make if you installed window film to your home or building.

The same window was also tested over a 14 day period to help this building owner make an educated decision that window film was the best return on their investment.
