Low-Emissivity Window Film |
| Technological advances have brought about a
new classification of window film know as Low-E. The most important
characteristic of a Low-E coating is that they drastically reduce
the heat escaping through the windows in the winter by reflecting it
back inside the building. The film also has the ability to reflect heat
that has been absorbed and re-radiated from passing through the existing
glass. For instance, if you have an asphalt parking lot that is radiating
heat at the windows, you may want to consider this film. This Low-E film
also has excellent solar control performance characteristics for reducing
solar energy, glare, and ultraviolet radiation.
