Department of Energy, window films can reduce up to 30% of heat loss through windows and doors in homes. From silver to bronze to grey, these films enhance existing windows to make your customer�s home or building more comfortable by reducing glare, blocking UV light, and offering superior heat reduction over Low-E windows and standard windows alone. Low-E glass helps reduce the UV rays entering a home or building. Reducing UV rays with Low-E windows helps save your customer�s furniture, flooring, draperies, and more from fading and sun damage. The new film, known as Heat Mirror XIR, blocks solar heat gain as effectively as many existing retrofit films, but transmits more of the sun`s visible light. This type of Low-E glass provides heat gain reductions of 30-50% in addition to reducing heat loss. Solar heat comes from two primary sources: visible light that you can see and infrared light that you can feel. Whether you should consider tinting Low-E windows and how much you would benefit comes down to three factors: the type of Low-E coating, the location of the Low-E coating within the window, and the amount of solar heat gain reduction or heat loss reduction desired.
