Solar films can help homes comply to the new House Energy Rating because these films are able to improve energy efficiency because they

• Block 99% of UV rays
• Reduce heat by up to 80%
• Reduce glare by up to 90%
• Retain heat in winter
• Protect curtains, carpet & furniture against fading

By reducing the heat coming through the windows, solar control window tinting lowers air-conditioning usage and costs. Reducing the use of air-conditioning will also reduce maintenance and increase the useful life of the air-conditioning equipment.

It is estimated that the cost of installing solar control window tinting will be paid for by energy savings alone in 4-5 years.

Some films are hardly noticeable from either inside or out. They come in clear, or a range of colored finishes and a large selection of densities and heat rejection qualities. Night time views are retained.

Whilst solar films are recommend for north & west facing windows, windows with panoramic views could benefit because solar films will also reducing glare.
