Low E
Window Films
KEEP YOUR HOME AND OFFICE IN MELBOURNE WARM IN WINTER WITH LOW E WINDOW FILMS
LOW E WINDOW FILMS CAN HELP IN RETAIN AS MUCH AS HALF THE HEAT INSIDE THE ROOM ON COLD DAYS, AND BLOCK AS MUCH AS HALF THE HEAT ENTERING THE ROOM ON HOT DAYS.
What is Low E Window Film?
The ‘E’ in Low E stands for ‘emissivity’, a material’s ability to emit radiant energy. Low E window films emit less infrared electro-magnetic energy than other materials, which means less heat transmission through the glass.
How does it work?
With untreated, plain glass windows, warmth is lost during the heating season because objects within a room are warmer than the temperature outside. These objects will radiate heat towards the cooler outdoors, and that heat will escape through the glass.
The application of Low E Window Film helps prevent heat transmission through the glass as the coating does not absorb a significant portion of radiant heat and instead reflects much of it back into the room.
Low E window films also work on hot days, reducing heat gain inside a room by blocking the sun’s heat from entering the glass from outside. Low E Window Films that achieve a WERS (Window Energy Rating Scheme) star rating in cooling and heating do so because they demonstrate benefits in both thermal conditions. In that sense, LOW E Window Films improve a home’s energy efficiency in all climates and across all seasons.
Benefits
- Reduce energy consumption
- Keeps rooms warmer in Winter and cooler in Summer
- Lower cost compared to new high-performance windows
- When applied to clear single glazing, annual thermal insulating performance approaches that of clear double-glazed windows.
- Installed to the interior of the window, they do not entail complex construction steps or undue inconvenience.
- Visible light transmission can be as high as 70%, so you get the maximum light without the heat.
- Low E Window Films are so specific in their targeting of infrared radiation, they do not impede plant growth.
