By combining a low-e coating with solar control properties at high visible light transmissions, SolarGard have developed an innovative window-insulating film technology that goes beyond the capabilities of standard solar films:
- Rejects total solar energy by up to 53% reducing cooling costs and improving comfort
- Allows high visible light transmission for natural day lighting
- Improves the existing window's insulating properties by up to 41%
Compared to low-e glazing replacements, Ecolux is a smart, sustainable option for homes and buildings with its 16 year warranty and significant energy and carbon savings.
On warm days solar heat is rejected requiring less cooling and saving energy. During winter, heat is reflected back into the room requiring less heating and saving energy.
