Architectural window film is an effective way of keeping summer temperatures down inside homes and achieving the ultimate energy rating on a building project.
Eco-friendly window film improves the thermal performance of windows by reducing solar heat gain by up to 83 per cent. Air conditioning systems work more effectively so energy bills are managed and carbon footprints reduced.
The latest window films can block up to 99 per cent of UV radiation to protect carpets, furnishing and artwork. Glare is also minimised, while privacy from the outside is maximised.
Film Pacific offers a selection of window films including the OptiTune and Night Owl. OptiTune is a dual reflectance film that combines high solar energy rejection with low internal reflectance. It is suitable for installation on laminated glass in homes or offices.
Night Owl uses nano particles instead of tradditional reflective layers. It has ultra-low reflectivity that it like looking through clear glass from the inside, yet almost black from the outside.
The use of window film will contribute to domestic building's energy rating under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme and will contribute to a high Green Star rating by the Green Building Council of Australia.
