In what circumstances might you be interested in our Low-E energy control film?

Considerable energy savings are possible in an air-conditioned building when one purchases from our extensive selection of energy control window film here at Opalux. However, amid the recent unpredictable wintry conditions, it is our all-seasons Low-E films that have particularly caught the eye of many of our customers.

These window films are internally applied solar control films with a Low-E coating added to the interior facing surface. This results in a film that rejects a high proportion of the sun’s heat and glare while enhancing the comfort levels of users in the building and minimising air conditioning costs.

Meanwhile, the Low-E coating is instrumental in reducing winter heat loss through glazed areas, which helps to keep heating bills down and improve the given building’s carbon footprint.

Our Low-E film is a little different to the alternatives

A locally applied Low-E window film may normally seem sufficient for minimising the cold-chill effect experienced by people sitting next to large windows. However, if winter energy savings are to be attained, most if not all windows in a particular area or building with a thermostatically controlled HVAC system will need to be treated.

That’s why customers of Opalux can choose between two options for Low-E window film: a solar reflective film that provides the utmost solar heat reduction and winter heat saving, or a neutral low-mirror film that helps to lower solar heat and glare alongside winter heat savings.

Whether you opt for our Low-E Reflective Silver 20 or Neutral 50 solar control film, you can look forward to such shared benefits as quick, retro-fit installation, the screening of harmful UV rays and low emissivity. These films deliver up to 99% ultraviolet light (UV) filtering while also assisting in the reduction of cooling costs, and therefore Climate Change Levy liability.

The role that these films can also play in alleviating the discomfort caused by excessive heat and glaring reflections off computer screens can even make them a great investment when you are seeking to achieve compliance with the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations.
