John Bell & Croyden, a prestigious pharmaceutical company
with a central London outlet, called upon fellow Royal
Warranty holder Sun-X (UK) Ltd, to help problems caused by
sunlight on their large picture windows. Their display stock
was being faded by the sun, and the customers and staff
were suffering from solar heat gain. Sun-X installed their
Vista61 ‘clearview’ solar window film, eliminating 99.9% of UV
radiation, 49% of solar energy, in a clear colour with minimal
reflection so the view in from the street was not impeded.
The installation was carried out quickly and efficiently, by
Sun-X’s own highly skilled and experienced personnel,
during opening hours without disrupting running of the
store.
LOW - E CLEAR WINDOW FILM
Heating, cooling and ventilation systems are responsible for
over 50% of carbon emissions in non-domestic buildings
and are largely impacted by the performance of the
building’s glazing.
Traditionally, window films are used to reduce summer
cooling requirements.
In addition to the benefits of the aforementioned film, the
Sun-X MT70E Low-E film also reduces heat loss in winter,
providing a true “all-season” solution that can significantly
reduce total building energy consumption, often by more
than 10%.
SUN-X WINDOW FILM
The Low-E coating reflects over 90% of radiant energy back
to its source, reducing the glazing’s U-Value from 5.8 to as
low as 3.3, an improvement of up to 44%.
This effectively upgrades the insulating performance of a
single pane window to close to double pane, and double
pane to close to triple pane.
Whilst the film reflects solar energy, it absorbs very little,
which has the added benefit of minimising thermal stress
to the glass, and reflecting air-conditioned air back into the
room, rather than being lost through the glass.
Return on investment can be obtained in
as little as three years, with the
film then effectively
earning
money by
lowering fuel
bills throughout
its expected lifespan
of at least 15 years. It
will also help companies
meet their carbon reduction
commitments, and landlords meet
minimum energy efficiency standards
(MEES) for commercial or residential lets.
