Spectrally Select Solar Film Conserves Energy
Spectrally select films are solar tints that filter out from 40% to 70% of the solar heat normally transmitted through windows (IG units) while allowing virtually all of visible light (VTL) to pass through the glazing system. The following solar control tint distributor website explains this process.
Spectrally selective solar tint is optically designed to reflect infrared wavelengths (780 nanometers to 1200 nanometers) but remain transparent to other wavelengths. Such solar film coatings are commonly used to reflect the infrared (heat) portion of the solar spectrum while admitting a higher portion of visible light. These solar tints help create a glazing system (window) with a low U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient but a high VLT - visible light transmittance.
Spectrally selective coatings can be applied on various types of solar window film to produce "customized" glazing systems capable of either increasing or decreasing solar gains according to the aesthetic and climatic effects desired for a particular building.
Simulations by computer generation have shown that glazing systems with spectrally selective solar tint will decrease the electric space cooling requirements of offices and homes in hot climates by more than 40%.
Solar Control Films Inc, a tint distributor, with locations in Houston, Texas and St. Louis, MO has a supply of a wide range of solar film that includes spectrally select window films. The tint distributor supplies solar tint, auto tint, uv tint, commercial tint, residential tint and safety film along with solar film, auto film, uv film, commercial film and residential film to meet any buildings needs. Solar Control Films will conduct an energy audit at no charge to demonstrate the amount of energy that a building will conserve with solar tint.
To find out more information about Solar Control Films Inc, contact the Houston tint supply warehouse and office or call them at 877.989.3456 or 713.681.3000. Spectrally select films are a great way to keep the light but reject the heat. Be green and conserve energy with solar tint.
Phillip Hollocher is president of solar control films. Hollocher has worked in the industry since 1996 promoting the energy conservation properties of solar control tints. Hollocher as a solar control specialist has presented to the Chinese government, Japanese government and Brazilian government to promote solar control tint and how solar tint conserves energy and is a great utility rebate program.
