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.
Expanding Your Options: Low E Silver and Low E Neutral
Solar Sentry is proud to offer a diverse range of Low E window film options:
Low E Silver 20 & 50: These films offer exceptional heat rejection with varying levels of visible light transmission. Low E Silver 20 provides a balance of heat reduction and natural light, while Low E Silver 50 offers superior heat control for those seeking maximum protection.
Low E Neutral 35 & 50: These films offer a more neutral appearance compared to the silver options, making them ideal for those who prefer a less reflective look. Low E Neutral 35 provides a good balance of heat rejection and aesthetics, while Low E Neutral 50 offers enhanced heat control with a slightly more noticeable tint.
Beyond Heat Control: Additional Benefits of Low E Window Films
While heat control is a primary benefit, Low E window films offer a range of additional advantages:
Reduced Fading: The films help protect your furniture, carpets, and artwork from harmful UV rays, preventing premature fading and preserving the beauty of your interiors.
Increased Comfort: By regulating indoor temperatures, Low E films contribute to a more comfortable living environment throughout the year.
Improved Energy Efficiency: Reduced reliance on heating and cooling systems translates to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
