Heat Reflective Material for Windows

Britain seems to be very much a nation of conservatories and the people who love them. Certainly, here at Opalux, we believe there’s nothing quite like being able to relax in one’s own conservatory, perhaps while reading a book or tapping away at a laptop. Conservatory ownership and use can be an utter pleasure – until the very moment that it isn’t.

We are referring, of course, to the excessive heat and glare problems that can sometimes make conservatories less than pleasant places to be, at the very time of year when we might most look forward to using them.

If it is a Google search for ‘heat reflective material for windows’ that has brought you to this page, you are presumably on the lookout for a solution that will reflect or repel the heat that can otherwise so easily rise and make your buildings’ internal spaces less than pleasant places to be.

Indeed, on the subject of internal spaces, it is important to note that such heat reflective material – otherwise known as window film – is available for both internal and external application.

Given the broad range of options that we present to both end-users and specifiers for heat reflective material for windows, you might understandably ask whether there are any versions of this film that are designed for plastic rather than glass windows.

If you have been browsing the Opalux website in search of appropriate solar protective window film for your needs, you may have noticed that some of our reflective films are described as suitable for interior application, and others for exterior application.

This begs an obvious question: how greatly do these two forms of heat reflective material for windows actually differ from each other?

Solar reflective film can be an excellent investment – if you choose the right one

Where there is a building within which you need to figure out a way of reducing heat gain that would stand to make users of the site uncomfortable and push up air conditioning bills, you may be tempted to investigate the many heat-reducing window films on the market. It’s therefore no surprise that you would consider such a highly rated and trusted name as Opalux – but what if you only have the option of applying such film externally, rather than internally?
