HOW DOES SOLAR WINDOW FILM WORK?
Let’s get technical about window film:
Solar films, metalized reflective tint, block up to 88% of the solar energy from entering your home or office; thus reducing the load on your A/C system and saving energy. If you buy a solar film with a Shading Coefficient of .18, such as a Dual Reflective 5%, it will conserve up to 12.5 kWh of energy per year per square foot (SF) in Houston, TX. A consumer that buys energy for $.16 per kWh will save an estimated $2.00 per year per SF with an efficient HVAC system and save even more with a less efficient HVAC system.
So what does that mean to you?
Homes & offices with 3,000 square feet of windows with reflective film can save as much as $6,000 per year if they buy and install solar tint. Solar window film can reduce the peak demand on electrical utilities because solar tint conserves energy between the peak energy demand period from 10 AM to 4 PM. Moreover, the lower the overall energy consumption resulting from solar window film decreases the demand for new CO2 producing power facilities, in turn resulting in decreased emissions and a smaller overall carbon footprint.
Reflective tint is the most effective way to conserve energy because it’s cost effective, has a quick payback period and has immediate results in conserving energy: Once installed, solar tint starts saving you money. Solar Control Window Film is a very efficient way to conserve energy, save you money and maintain a comfortable temperature for your home and office.

HOW SOLAR WINDOW TINT IS MADE?
How Reflective Window Film Is Made?
Solar Window film starts as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) pellets that are melted. PET is used because of its excellent optical clarity and strength. The melted material is then biaxially streched into a polyester sheet, meaning it is stretched in the direction of both its length and width. UV blockers are usually added during this process.
The next phase of construction is to add dyes or metals to the polyester sheeting. The materials chosen will be determined by the desired performance of the film and its application. Dyed films absorb a lot of heat, and therefore are generally used for automotive applications. Metallized films work in the opposite, rejecting most of the heat rather than absorbing it and are most common for residential/commercial films.
Dyeing – The polyester film is coated and then cured in heated ovens. The pigments are impregnated into the polyester by the heat. The color becomes a permanent part of the film and will not wash off.
Metallizing – can be achieved through three processes:
Evaporative Coating – A crucible containing metal is heated until the metal melts and forms a gas cloud. This metal gas is deposited on the film and bonds as soon as it cools. Aluminum is the metal of choice because of its low melting point.
Electron Beam Coating – This method is similar to the evaporative method except that a beam of high-energy electrons is aimed at the source of metal to heat it. This energy causes the metal to vaporize and form a cloud of gas that deposits on the polyester sheet.
Sputtering – An electrically charged gas, such as argon, bombards the metal and frees the molecules. These molecules are deposited onto the film and layered side by side, providing extremely thin and precise coatings. This coating is so tight that the water used during installation cannot evaporate, which causes a hazy look. This hazy look will go away after two to three weeks of curing.
Next, a scratch-resistant coating is applied to the side that will face the interior of the home. This coating acts as a protective barrier against dust and debris or for anything that may come into contact with the film. A great scratch-resistant coating is a key element for longevity.
After the scratch-resistant coating phase, the mounting adhesive is applied to the side of the film that will be applied to the window. An aggressive adhesive is also needed to provide longevity and ensure the film does not bubble or peel. Adhesives come in a pressure sensitive (sticky) type for automotive, and a clear dry adhesive that utilizes a gel covering activated by water for residential/commercial films.
Finally, the film is covered with a liner over the adhesive that is peeled away during the installation process. The liner acts as a guard against contamination from dust and debris. Multiple plies may be joined together to provide extra performance and durability.

Window film is highly effective against these harmful sun rays, and is a a great way to protect your skin, your health, and your belongings that might be damaged by Ultraviolet Radiation.
Whether we are in the car, homes or our place of work, we are susceptible to damaging UV rays. Solar Control Films is on a mission to cut back on that damage by distributing the best window film and tools, so you and your belongings remain safe from the sun’s harmful rays, but can still enjoy natural sunlight from inside your home, car, or commercial building!
