Technical FAQs 4

Can a solar control window film be tested on glass?

The generic performance data of a film are influenced by the glass substrate used. There are two options available when it comes to testing the performance of a solar control window film on a particular type of glass. One approach is to directly test the solar control window film on the glass to be used.

Can solar control window film improve glass optical & thermal performance?

Solar control window film is a popular and effective window retrofitting technology for improving the optical & thermal performances of existing glasses in the summer. This article aims to explain how solar control window films improve glass optical & thermal performances, as well as the laboratory testing methods.

What are solar control window films?

Solar control window films thus reduce heat gain, block UV radiation, and moderate the amount of visible light and glare entering the room. Window film can reduce the air conditioning cooling load of a building in summer.

What is solar control window film spectrally selective?

It signifies that the solar control window film darkens the clear glass, absorbing more solar radiation. However, in this example, the solar energy transmission is rather high in the near infra-red range (NIR, 780 nm – 2500 nm). This can be improved with spectrally selective solar control window films.
