Even though replacing commercial windows can be costly, is an affordable alternative. Heat-blocking window film.


Privacy window film comes in a variety of styles and colors. It is important to learn how heat control window films work before you buy.


What is Solar Heat Gain?

Solar heat gain refers to when the sun heats an object, space, or structure, causing it to heat up.


Solar heat gain is a term that refers to the amount of heat caused by sunlight to heat indoor spaces, especially through windows.


What is the significance of solar heat gain in commercial buildings?

Many factors can affect the energy efficiency in commercial buildings, but solar heat gain is the most important.


You will need to run air conditioning to cool your indoor spaces and provide comfortable working conditions for tenants and employees if the building isn't adequately protected from radiation from sunlight.


Your monthly utility bills will rise if you have an AC system that is more dependent than your AC system. This is because your AC system uses too much energy.


Solar heat gain can be a significant cost for large commercial buildings such as office buildings. This could translate into thousands of dollars per month in cooling indoor spaces. You could save thousands by installing heat-blocking window film to your windows.


What does the impact of windows on solar heat gain?

According to the US Department of Energy heat entering a building's windows can account for up to 30% of the energy required to cool it.


This means that the type of windows in your building could impact your monthly utility bills by up to 30%.


What determines how much solar heat is blocked by a window's glass? The more glass in a window, the more efficient it will be. A double-paned window will reject more heat from the sun than one-pane windows, while a triple-paned window will block more heat than a double-paned window.


Other factors can impact the energy efficiency of windows in buildings, but the most important is how many windows there are.


Many older buildings have to replace their windows in large and expensive ways because they want to increase their energy efficiency and reduce their utility bills. However, not everyone can afford it. Furthermore, complete window replacement can be disruptive and costly.


Solar control window films offer a faster and cheaper way to reduce solar heat gain through windows.


How Heat-Blocking Window Film Prevents Solar Heat Gain

Sun-blocking window film is made up of hundreds of thin layers. It rejects up to 97% sun's infrared radiation, which is responsible for most of the solar heat gain.


This heat-control window film blocks infrared radiation, but it is still able to let in natural light that you view through windows.


Heat-blocking window films are capable of blocking infrared radiation and can block up to 99.9% of UV rays. These rays can cause furnishings to fade and skin damage.


Solar control window film has many benefits:

  • Rejects up to 97% of infrared lights

  • Solar heat loss is reduced

  • Improves energy efficiency

  • HVAC systems are less reliant

  • Protects against up to 99.9% UV radiation

  • Furniture lasts longer

  • Natural light is allowed in

  • Doesn't inhibit views

  • It can be installed directly on top of existing glasses

  • Window replacement is much more affordable than replacing them.


Solar window film

Solar window film is exactly what its name implies - it cuts down on unwanted light (UV) and heat. There are many options for solar window films. They offer maximum visibility and security while also maintaining safety. The newest spectrally select films allow for high light levels and do not alter the appearance of the window. These virtually invisible window films block 99% of harmful UV light and keep heat from getting into your home.
