Heat-reducing window films help address escalating energy costs and unrelenting global warming trends. Architects and design build firms are using more expansive glass in structures. This helps maximize the benefits of natural light.
Fortunately, there’s an easy upgrade to help maximize natural light and keep you cool. It also controls utility bills and carbon costs. CoolVu energy and heat control window film solutions are perfect for this. They keep your environment on the cutting edge of design, energy conservation, and sustainability.
DuPont developed the first commercially available heat-reducing window film in the early 1970s. They designed it to reduce solar heat gain by applying a reflective silver coating to the outside of the glass. People commonly refer to this type of film as solar control or Low-E (low emissivity) window film.
CoolVu Heat Reducing Window Film ROI & Energy Savings
Heat-reducing window films are applied to storefronts, curtain walls, windows, and doors to reduce solar heat gain. These films help lower interior temperatures in homes, retail spaces, and buildings by limiting heat transmission through glass. By reflecting sunlight and infrared radiation outward, the film helps maintain a cooler indoor environment. This retrofit solution offers energy efficiency without replacing existing windows or doors.
Made of layered polyester between optically clear plastic sheets, the film is engineered for high performance. Infrared light is reflected by the first layer, reducing invisible heat entering the space. To manage glare, the second layer absorbs a portion of visible sunlight. Together, these layers can reflect up to 80% of incoming solar energy. Interior temperatures drop significantly with proper application. This reduces air conditioning use, saving money and lowering carbon emissions.
Advanced Nano-Ceramic Technology for Superior Performance
Today’s spectrally selective heat-reducing window film uses nano-ceramic technology embedded in thin, specially treated film layers. These advanced films are engineered to block the sun’s ultraviolet and infrared rays while allowing natural light through. They help reduce heat gain, keeping interior spaces cooler without compromising visibility or aesthetics.
In addition to heat control, these films deflect UV rays that damage furniture, flooring, and upholstery over time. UV exposure can lead to fading, discoloration, and deterioration of interior surfaces. CoolVu heat control window films block 99% of the sun’s harmful UV radiation.
This high level of protection helps minimize long-term damage from sunlight and preserves your interior finishes. By limiting UV and infrared exposure, these films contribute to both comfort and energy efficiency.
Heat control window films from CoolVu are a great way to save money on your home and business heating and cooling bill. They help keep out unwanted UV radiation while reducing heat gain and glare. The average homeowner spends about $1,000 per year on cooling costs alone. By installing a high-quality window film, you could potentially cut those costs down significantly while enjoying the additional benefits of glare and UV control. Most heat control window film installations will pay for themselves within 3-5 years from application.
Other Benefits of Heat Reducing Window Films
The heat-control films reduce heat effectively, making them ideal for both residential and commercial applications. Manufacturers design these solar control films to limit the amount of heat entering through windows while maintaining clear views. Occupants can enjoy natural light and keep their home or business cooler during the warmer months.
Solar control and Low-E film reflects infrared radiation while allowing visible light through making Low-E film ideal for use in areas where there is a lot of sunlight, like Florida, California, Arizona, Texas, and Hawaii. CoolVu Low-E window films are also great for homes located in colder climates because it helps prevent heat loss in the winter while keeping heat out during the summer.
