Keeping The Heat In This Winter
If keeping your home or property warm is making your heating bills look scary, the time to identify new heating methods is now.
It’s only going to get colder and finding new ways to keep the costs down and the heat up is more important than ever. Fortunately, we are in an ideal position to help.
Reject the sun’s heat with 3M™ Window Films and reduce the cost of keeping your building comfortable. An estimated 33% of cooling expenses are due to solar heat gain from windows.
That’s why cost-effective, energy-saving technologies like 3M™ Window Films are crucial to protecting your bottom line — by rejecting the sun’s heat to keep your space at an even, moderate temperature.
So impressive has the advance in window film technology been in recent history, it is now widely viewed as one of the primary methods of increasing the energy efficiency of your property, resulting in both savings to your budget and reductions in carbon footprint.
Energy Efficient Film
Energy-efficient solar window film doesn’t just deliver energy savings by reducing cooling costs in summer, but by insulating your windows and reflecting heat back into the building it reduces winter heating costs too.
By reflecting away unwanted solar energy, solar window film helps to achieve a more comfortable and constant temperature within the building resulting in a reduced reliance on air conditioning units and cooling systems during the summer.
Older glazing is less efficient and allows heat to escape in winter months
Year-round insulation and savings.
3M™ All Seasons Window Films are designed to retain heat during the winter and cool air during the summer so you can save on heating and cooling costs all year round. These films also help provide increased insulation performance, much like
- A single-pane window loses 20X as much heat as the same area in an adjacent well-insulated wall (Cornell Cooperative Extension, Cornell University)
- Nearly 40% of heating loss in commercial buildings is due to windows (U.S. Department of Energy) .
Environmentally Beneficial
With businesses throughout the UK seeking effective ways to reduce their carbon footprint, the application of energy-saving film offers one of the most environmentally friendly methods of positively impacting a company’s energy performance.
In addition to the longer-term benefits and warranties, window film avoids the associated waste and disposal costs of replacement glazing.
Direct Application
Applied directly to existing glazing, forming a highly effective barrier to solar energy, the range of films available from WF Glazing Protection encompasses a variety of specifications that can assist with energy efficiency, with the most effective films rejecting up to 85% of total solar energy.
Our range of energy-saving window film is available in a variety of finishes and grades, including external grade films for when an internal installation is not possible.
Taking control of your environment with 3M™ Window Films is better for our environment. By rejecting the heat of the sun, you use less energy. By keeping your window treatments open, you use less electric lighting and save on energy costs. By upgrading your existing windows, you’re keeping them out of the landfill.
- Keep your existing windows
- Reduce light pollution
- Let in natural light while rejecting heat
- Lower your energy consumption
- 3M™ Window Films can become carbon negative in as short as 6 months from install
Insulation
During winter months, inefficient windows can significantly add to heat loss and energy costs.
Typically, the U-value of single glazing is 5.88 and 2.2-2.9 for non-coated double glazing. While replacing windows with the latest energy-efficient glass will dramatically improve these U-values it can be a costly and problematic exercise with very long payback periods and little return on investment.
Ecolux™ window film from SolarGard is the very latest technology combining a Low-E coating with solar control properties at high visible light transmissions. Compared to Low-E glazing replacements, Ecolux is a smart, sustainable option for homes and buildings with its 16-year warranty and significant energy and carbon savings.
