We all want to save money on our energy bills. Well now there’s a new
way of doing so. Putting Low-E window film on your glass will save you
money. This article will help you save more money to do better things.
Keep the heat in during the winter
With Low Energy tints on your glass you stop the heat from escaping.
Nearly all houses have insulated walls but not insulated windows…
That’s because there isn’t much option for the glass. Now there is
something new.
Low-E fits internally onto your already existing
windows. It reflects the medium heat-waves from your radiators back into
the room with its special coating. So this reduces the heat that gets
through your glass by about 33%, saving you money on your heating bills.
It doesn’t just save heat; it reduces the heat and glare in the summer
The Low-E is a silver reflective window film that has a reflective
exterior during day time hours. Because it’s reflective it reflects 81%
of glare from the sun. That means you are able to see your television or
computer screen much better. But it does more…
In the summer the tint can reduce up to 79% of the suns heat. This gives you a cooler and more comfortable room to be in.
So not only does it save your heating bills, it means you don’t need to
buy air-conditioning units. Plus you don’t need to have your curtains
closed. Low-E does what the curtains do but allows in natural light.
One more thing… It’s perfect for privacy as well
Because the tint is reflective it’s great for creating day time
privacy. When fit to the correct lighting conditions it will look like a
mirror on the outside. You need to fit it to every window in that room
that faces the outside. This provides the correct conditions of 3:1
light ratio. The outside needs to be 3x brighter than the inside for the
effect to work.
When it’s mirrored outside you can see out
perfectly fine. It just stops people from looking in. However, the
mirror effect does reverse when it’s dark outside and you have lights on
inside. So you won’t be able to see out but people can see in.
No maintenance
Once it’s on the glass it is very simple to look after. You just have
to clean it as regular as you would clean the windows anyway. It just
needs to have warm, soapy water and a soft cloth run over it.
Protect yourself for ultra violet rays
The sun is good for us but the UV can be harmful to our skin. The film
reduces 99% of UV rays. So you can feel comfortable knowing your skins
safe. It’s not only harmful to our skin, UV makes furnishings fade.
Without the ultra violet rays your furnishings will last a lot longer.
