While the recent elevated temperatures and the associated discomfort that can result in the workplace have naturally been the chief concern for many of us over the last few weeks and months, when your organisation is in the market for solar control film, it also shouldn’t overlook the undesirability of the opposite situation. We are, of course, referring to the possibility of considerable heat being lost from your buildings through the windows during the looming colder months.
You may be thankful, then, to learn of the Low-E – standing for ‘low emissivity’ – energy control films that we are delighted to supply to both specifiers and end-users.
The term ‘Low-E’ refers to the special coating applied to these films’ interior-facing surface, and which could greatly assist in reducing how much heat escapes through your buildings’ glazed areas in the winter. As a result, not only could you help to reduce the heating expenditure required for the buildings in question, but you could also look forward to a much-enhanced carbon footprint.
Silver reflective or neutral? They’re both options with us
As those who have previously shopped for solar control film from Stockfilms will be aware, our team takes great pride in sourcing products that cater to the different aesthetic requirements of our customers. Sure enough, this ethos is also apparent in our choice of Low-E films, of which both neutral and silver reflective variants are available.
These two highly regarded energy control window films share certain benefits, including the reduction of excessive heat and glare during the summer, the better retention of heat within a room during the winter, a lower energy tax liability, quick retro-fit installation and the screening of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Those opting for the silver reflective film, however, also get to enjoy a much higher level of glare reduction of 82%, even if the neutral film’s equivalent figure of 45% can also make a very significant positive difference to the experience that a building’s occupants will have while working. In any case, the neutral film represents a more logical choice for those prioritising higher visible light transmission – 48%, as opposed to the silver reflective film’s 16%.
