In addition to reducing heat gains, energy saving window film will also slow the rate of heat loss. ‘U-value’ measures the rate which heat escapes through a material (walls, roof, glass etc.) and Solar Sentry glass insulating window film will reduce this rate by up to 41%!
Slowing down heat loss means that it will take less heating to maintain a desired temperature, and will feel much more comfortable as less heat is being lost through the glass.
The window films used by Solar Sentry all carry an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and have been tested and monitored to determine the carbon cost and carbon savings associated with them. The studies show that window films reduce more than 100 time more carbon than it takes to manufacture and supply, making it one of the few solutions to be proven as ‘Carbon Negative’
In addition to this, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory states that window film is the most cost-effective way to upgrade a building’s windows for energy efficiency.
Solar Sentry are very experienced in using window film to reduce energy costs and carbon footprints, and can provide a full and comprehensive ‘Window Energy Report’ to businesses who are looking to save money and reduce their impact on the environment.
