Why This Matters
Low-e coatings are applied to the inner surface of the outer pane in double-pane windows. This placement maximizes their thermal efficiency — and also maximizes their reflective focus on anything in the sun's path.
Near Cardtronics ATM in Eugene, energy-efficient double-pane glass with low-e coatings can be enhanced further with retrofit film. This is especially problematic for multi-family residence installations, which condos and apartment buildings benefit from film to reduce hvac load and improve tenant comfort.
High solar intensity, clear skies, and widespread adoption of energy-efficient building codes make this region one of the highest-risk markets for window-reflection turf burn.
The Solution
Window film works by either absorbing the solar energy (ceramic and solar control films) or scattering it (anti-reflective and perforated films) so it can't concentrate into a hot spot.
Solar control film addresses both reflection and heat transmission. It's the right choice when you want to stop turf burn AND reduce interior heat gain. Slightly more visible from outside than anti-reflective film.
Non-metallic ceramic particles reject heat without interfering with signals or views.
