Residential energy management films
Vancouver is the city of glass. New condo developments are being constructed in a rapid pace and old buildings are being retrofitted. The demand for a energy solution for a lot of home owners is simple with the addition of window film. Huper Optik and Madico Ceramic films meet the stringent demands of strata boards throughout the lower mainland with the ability to preserve the natural look of the existing glass. The highly reflective look of conventional films are replaced with this advanced technology window film. With significant heat, UV and glare reduction the choice is easy!
Energy management films reduce fading, the UV reduction qualities help prevent carpets, furniture, art, flooring and draperies from fading and deteriorating. It is generally accepted that UV radiation is responsible for 40% of all fading. The other factors are heat transmission (25%), visible light (25%) and miscellaneous factors (10%) like moisture, dye fastness and artificial lighting. Window film will not totally stop fading and deterioration, but goes a long way towards preventing damage. Energy management films have added safety and security characteristics that can help mitigate or prevent injuries and property damage. In the event of breakage, the glass is held in place by the film, secured with a patented dry adhesive system that forms a chemical bond between the film and the glass.
Energy management is becoming an important responsibility as a homeowner in this day and age. The consumer demand for better energy performance from their homes is increasing. As is the regulatory environment which is imposing new requirements for improved energy usage and reductions in environmental impact. Window films can make a significant contribution to annual energy saving and can be applied on new constructions or as a retrofit. Window films are available in broad range of shades and colours to enhance any home facade.
