Films that will reduce heat and fading but won't change the view (day or night), won't change the external appearance of the building (Body Corporate requirement), and won't impede visibility into a showroom (no privacy effect).

Glossary of Terms
1. WERS
 Windows Energy Rating Scheme - performance data has been independently tested and verified
2. VLT % Visible Light Transmission - % of visible light that passes through the film. Usually more is better
3. VLR % Visible Light Reflected - % of visible light that is reflected by the film. Clear glass has a VLR of 8%. The higher the VLR the more shiny (mirrored) the film appears. A personal preference but usually less is better
4. UV Blocked % UltraViolet Light Blocked - % of UV light blocked by the film. UV causes sun damage and fading, so more blocked the better
5. U-Value A measure of the flow of heat through a window (glass and frame): the lower the U-value, the better the insulating ability of the window - will keep the interior warmer in winter and cooler in summer
6. SHGC Solar Heat Gain Coefficient - a measure of the amount of heat that can be gained through your windows at times of direct solar contact. The SHGC is important as during summer the SHGC can add large amounts of unwanted heat to your house. Equally in winter the SHGC can be utilised to provide cost and pollution free heat from the sun. The Solar heat gain is measure as a coefficient and indicates the amount of direct solar heat that will penetrate your house.
The SHGC is mainly affected by the glazing type. Products like tinted glass and applied films can help to reduce the SHGC. It is important that when selecting windows and doors the orientation, location and house design are all considered to achieve the best outcomes. In cooler climates it is often advantageous to have a higher SHGC and in hotter climates a lower SHGC is better. To comply with energy reports, the SHGC must be within 10% of the set value
7. TSER % Total Solar Energy Rejected - % of solar energy (Visible Light + UV Light + InfraRed Light) blocked by the film. All three forms of solar energy will convert to heat energy. Higher % blocked is better but should compare films with similar VLT. Blocking more visible light will improve TSER but make a room feel darker.
BENEFITS: HEAT Protection | FADING Protection | Almost INVISIBLE (when viewed internally and externally)

These films are almost invisible when installed and are popular for:

  1. Heat and fading protection for homes with a beautiful view
  2. Heat and fading protection in home units, apartments and buildings that must comply with Body Corporate rules
  3. Retailers seeking to protect stock from sun damage and fading without impeding showroom visibility
   

       1.1 LOW-E CLEAR WINDOW FILMS (VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMISSION - VLT - OVER 60%)
 BENEFITS: HEAT Protection | FADING Protection | Almost INVISIBLE (when viewed internally and externally) PLUS insulating the window against heat loss in winter
Low-E window films insulate the glass to reduce heat loss in winter, while still offering the benefits of clear window films
