Save Energy

Different uses of window films Window films are available for multiple purposes like residential, commercial and automotive. Several categories of window films are available in the market. They have variety of uses from the solar heat reduction to protection from harmful UV rays and from the safety and security to the home decorative applications associated with using these films. The various uses of such window films are:

• These films reduce the amount of ultraviolet rays and visible light from coming inside the room, thus providing protection from harmful rays.
• These films are applied to reduce fading of the curtains of the room or the car upholstery, thus maintaining its value. Safety films, also known as “shatter resistant” films are made up of heavy gauge plastic which is intended to maintain the integrity of the glass. Thus, these films prevent the glass from shattering.
• These window films provide privacy as these films are often translucent but not transparent. These window films are used for commercial and residential purpose, providing unimpeded view from the low light and virtually no view from the high light.
• The security films provide the protection for vehicles as they are tinted and can be 400 micrometers thick as  compared to 50 for ordinary tint films

Saving energy with Window filmsSolar energy consists of UV, visible light and infrared rays. Transmission is the percentage of solar energy that passes through the window. Window films help increase the energy efficiency, improving environment and lowering cooling costs. The method by which these films can save energy is:

• These window films reflect significant solar energy while still absorbing another portion of the energy. As a result, the amount of solar radiation transmitted inside the room is considerably less. A few degrees in temperature reduction can have up to 25% reduction in the cooling costs. During the summer seasons, the load on the air-conditioning units can be reduced by installing such protective window films.  Solar films conserve energy and reduce utility costs (save money).In addition to providing the energy saving benefits, these films can reduce glare and increases thermal comfort
• These window films block about 99% of the ultraviolet rays, thus protecting the skin against diseases like skin cancer.
• The window films avoid the overheating of the car. With proper tinting, the car cans be 60% cooler in the summer days. This is how energy can be saved with window films.These window films help in keeping the interior temperature more controllable and stable.
• Applying these window films helps in saving up to 30% of the utility bills.
