ENERGY SAVING WINDOW FILM

Energy-saving window film is a thin layer of film that can be applied to existing windows in homes, offices, and other buildings.

The film is designed to reflect and absorb solar radiation, which can significantly reduce the amount of heat that enters a building through its windows.

By blocking solar radiation, energy-saving window film can also reduce the workload on HVAC systems, resulting in lower energy bills.
One of the biggest advantages of energy-saving window film is that it can be applied to existing windows without the need for replacement. This makes it a cost-effective solution for homeowners and building owners who want to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. The film is also available in a range of shades, tints, and designs, allowing it to be customized to meet the specific needs of a building.

Another advantage of energy-saving window film is that it can also reduce glare, making it easier to work on computers and reducing eye strain for occupants. Additionally, the film can block up to 99% of UV radiation, which can fade furniture, carpets, and artwork, and pose health risks to occupants.

Installation of energy-saving window film is quick and easy, and typically takes just a few hours to complete. The film is applied to the interior or exterior surface of the existing window, and can be cut to fit any shape or size of window. Maintenance is also minimal, with the film able to be cleaned using a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution.

GLARE REDUCTION

Heat transmitted through your glass from the sun is the main cause for making an environment far too hot and uncomfortable.

This applies whether it be your office or home – unless you have air conditioning.

Along with the high expense of running these, a vast amount of energy is used which produces tonnes of CO2. That’s why you should invest in glare reduction window film.

Solartek supply and install a range of heat & glare reduction window film that will reduce heat, glare and your carbon footprint. They are all a practical and cost efficient way to control temperatures and glare, with very little disruption during installation.

It is the employer’s responsibility to provide a comfortable working environment according to current health & safety laws and display screen equipment regulations. High temperatures and strong glare can cause fatigue, eye strain and headaches/migraines as well as staff underperformance due to discomfort. Inadequate solar control can also lead to absenteeism costing a company fortunes.

By having Solartek Film installed, your glass will reduce all of these. We have produced some specification sheets of the most popular solar films we install throughout the UK & Europe.

REACTIVE WINDOW FILM

Transitional (or Reactive) Window Film is a revolutionary new window tinting film that reacts to sunlight. It reliably protects people and furnishings against glare and harmful rays of the sun.

The total solar energy rejection ranges from 57 – 63%, giving you these benefits:

  • Up to 99.5% protection from UV radiation, a leading cause of skin cancer
  • Up to 85% Infrared protection
  • Reduce glare
  • Reduce heat penetration
  • Helps prevent sun-bleaching
  • Works on all glass including laminated
  • Zero maintenance
  • 5 -10 year manufacturer’s and installation warranty

The film is fitted to the inside of a glass window. Once properly installed by our qualified fitters, you won’t notice it’s there until it starts to do its work.

When exposed to sunlight and harmful solar radiation, the photochromic chemical reaction takes effect, darkening the tint of the window, reducing the amount of heat, ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light penetrating the glass.

All of this happens automatically every time it is exposed to the harmful sun’s rays. This offers effective and reliable protection, free from mechanical failure, with up to 99.5% protection from UV radiation.

This ground-breaking film is offered as an effective combined alternative to safety window film, fade reduction window film, heat reduction window film and solar control window film, thereby offering a particularly cost-effective window film solution.
