Save on AC Cooling Costs with Heat Blocking Solar Control Films

If soaring energy costs at your commercial business and home find you turning down the AC, blame your windows. Solar heat gain through untreated windows accounts for up to 30 percent of annual cooling bills, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

But before you invest in heavy draperies or expensive retrofitting, consider an easier, more affordable solution: heat blocking solar control window films.

Solar films cut energy costs by reducing the amount of infrared radiation (heat) that enters your building. When sunlight strikes conventional window glass, 87% of solar energy passes through the glass, raising indoor temperatures. By contrast, high-performance heat blocking window films keep your rooms cool by blocking up to 88% of solar energy from passing through the glass.

Solar control films also eliminate indoor "hot spots," reduce glare and protect skin and furnishings from harmful ultraviolet radiation, UV. And better energy efficiency means a smaller carbon footprint for your home and business.

Window film can be applied at a fraction of the cost of retrofitting and quickly pays for itself in energy savings.  Start saving money today & stay cool.  Stop the baking hot sun from entering your home & building and have you window film installed.
