Spotlight On: Low E Heat Retention Window Films
Keeping your office or home comfortable throughout the year can be a constant battle. In the summer, you're battling the scorching sun and relentless heat, while winter brings the challenge of keeping the warmth in and energy bills down. But what if there was a solution that could address both these concerns?
Enter Low E window films – a revolutionary technology that offers a passive way to achieve year-round comfort and energy savings.
In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of Low E window films, specifically focusing on our expanded range: Low E Silver 20, Low E Silver 50, Low E Neutral 35, and Low E Neutral 50. These innovative films are designed to be All Seasons champions, acting as a shield against the summer sun's heat and a barrier to retain precious warmth in the winter.
'Low E' stands for "Low Emissivity.
Understanding Low E Window Films
Low E stands for "Low Emissivity." These specially designed films feature microscopic coatings that allow visible light to pass through while reflecting infrared radiation. This translates to a cooler and more comfortable interior during the summer months, as the film effectively blocks a significant portion of the sun's heat from entering your home.
But the benefits of Low E films extend beyond the summer season. During the winter, these films help retain heat within your living space by reflecting internal radiant heat back into the room. This reduces the strain on your heating system, leading to lower energy bills and a more sustainable living environment.
