Applying solar control window film by SCF is an efficient & smart way to block
heat, conserve energy and save money. Glass windows without SCF heat blocking architectural films
are generally the largest source of heat gain in a building which also cause uneven temperatures in a space. Sun
Control laminates by SCF American Architectural Standard will:
- Block radiant heat from the sun
- Conserve energy
- Reduce the load
on your a/c system (HVAC)
- Save you money
- Improve your comfort in your
office & home
- Reduce hot spots near outside glass windows
- Block ultraviolet,
UV rays
- Reduce glare
How does sun control window tint work? Let’s
get technical: Architectural laminates from American Standard block up to 88% of the solar
energy from entering your home or office; thus reducing the load on your air conditioning system and conserving energy.
A window laminate with a Shading Coefficient, SC, of .18, such as a Dual Reflective 5%, will conserve up
to 12.5 kWh of energy per year per square foot (SF) in Houston, Texas. A consumer that pays $.16 per kWh
will save an estimated $2.00 per year per SF with an efficient A/C, HVAC, system and save even more with a less efficient
HVAC system.
So what does that mean to you? Offices & homes
with 3,000 square feet of glass windows with ASWF sun control film from Solar Control can save as much as $6,000
per year. Heat blocking tint can reduce the peak demand on electrical utilities because sun blocking
coatings conserve energy between 10 AM and 4 PM when energy demand is at its highest. Moreover, the lower
overall energy consumption resulting from window film decreases the demand for new CO2 producing power facilities, in turn
resulting in decreased emissions and a smaller overall carbon footprint.
GWF sun control window film is the most effective way to conserve energy because it is very cost effective, has a quick
payback period, and has immediate results in conserving energy: Once installed, these glass films start
saving $$$. Solar control window film is a very efficient way to conserve energy, save money and be comfortable
in your home and office. Saving money year after year.
