Spectral Selection Solar Tint Supplier

Spectral Selection Tint is a solar film that filters out 40-70% of the solar heat that is normally transmitted through window glass (IG units), glazing and allowing virtually all visible light to pass through the glazing system. glazing. Spectrally selective solar films are optically designed to reflect infrared wavelengths (780 nanometers to 1200 nanometers) but remain transparent to others. Such solar tint coatings are commonly used to reflect the infrared (heat) portion of the solar spectrum while admitting a higher portion of visible light. They help create a window with a low U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient, but high visible light transmittance (VLT).

Spectrally selective coatings can be applied on various types of window films to produce “custom” glazing systems capable of increasing or decreasing solar gains according to the desired aesthetic and climatic effects for a particular building.

Spectrally selective solar window films are different from traditional window films. Traditional window films are based on highly reflective aluminum tints or coatings that are vapor coated or sprayed onto clear polyester. Traditional automotive films are examples of tinted films. “Silver 20” are traditional commercial films that have the “mirror effect”. Spectrally selective films are clear, but reject heat before it can enter a home, office, or car.

Computer-generated simulations have shown that commercial film window glazing can lower the electrical cooling requirements of office and home space in hot climates by more than 40%.

Tint suppliers located in Houston, Texas and St. Louis, MO carry a wide range of solar tints including spectrally selected window films. Tint providers will create energy audits at no charge to demonstrate how much energy a building will conserve with solar tints.

Spectrally selected films are a great way to keep light in but reject heat. Go green and save energy with premium architectural window film.
