With some wild and outlandish claims being made regarding the effectiveness of certain types of window film, in particular, the energy-saving qualities and ability to DRASTICALLY reduce energy bills currently circulating, we’re here to provide some insight and clarity to the area.

Compared to alternatives such as Low-E glazing replacements, Ecolux is a smart, sustainable option for homes and buildings with its 10-year warranty and significant energy and carbon savings.

Key Benefits

• Low emissivity prevents heat from escaping through windows in the Winter
• Spectral selectivity lets in 68% of natural light while keeping out 52% of the sun’s energy
• Money and energy savings year-round on cooling and heating
• UV blockers protect people and property from damaging UV rays

Year-Round Energy Savings ARE Available

The environmentally friendly Ecolux 70 window film helps you achieve energy and carbon savings, improving U-factor* performance by up to 41%**. Solar Gard’s most advanced product provides year-round comfort improvement by keeping the sun’s heat out in the Summer and keeping heat inside in the Winter.

On warm days solar heat is rejected requiring less cooling and saving energy. During winter, heat is reflected back into the room requiring less heating and saving energy. As such, this premium Low-E window film adapts to the weather for comfort and energy savings all year round.

By combining a Low-E coating with solar control properties, we’ve developed an innovative window-insulating film technology that outperforms solar control films:

• Improved comfort – Promotes more comfortable temperatures in every season, day and night.
• Smart savings – A sustainable upgrade that increases year-round energy savings and reduces carbon usage.
• Natural daylighting – Allows high visible light transmission with minimal heat, giving you clear views while preventing hot spots.
• UV protection – Rejects 99% of UV radiation to reduce the risk of skin cancer and fading on furniture and flooring.
• U-factor improvement – Starts working immediately after installation and improves your windows’ insulating properties by up to 41%.

* U-factor is the rate at which a window, door, or skylight conducts non-solar heat flow. The lower the U-factor, the more energy-efficient the window, door, or skylight. ** 4mm Single pane clear glass

This innovative window-insulating film technology goes beyond the capabilities of standard solar films:

• Rejects total solar energy by up to 53% reducing cooling costs and improving comfort
• Allows high visible light transmission for natural daylighting
• Improves the existing window’s insulating properties by up to 41%

Performance Notes: Performance results are calculated using NFRC methodology and LBNL Window software, applied to 1/4″ (6mm) clear glass and are subject to variations within industry standards and only intended for estimating purposes. This data is provided for informational purposes only and subject to normal manufacturing variances. Performance results for glare and fade reduction are calculated by comparing filmed glass to that of untreated glazing.
