Protect you and your environment help you reduce energy costs
The sun’s UV rays can cause the most damage to us and the things around us. UV radiation causes fading and weakening in fabrics. The excessive heat can cause certain woods to dry and crack and will almost certainly kill off your houseplants! The highly specialised production process of Tec-Sun Solar Inserts and Window Film ensure that up to:
- 99% of UV light is absorbed
- 85% of the sun’s solar energy is rejected
- Up to 80% of the sun’s glare is rejected
Reducing our energy consumption is a priority for all of us from a financial and an environmental perspective.
The installation of Tec-Sun Solar Inserts and/or Window Film will help create a cooler and more attractive living or working space. During the summer, the solar shield will reject the sun’s heat. In the winter the internal heat is absorbed and reflected, taking away cold spots and greatly improving the heat retention in a room. Tec-Sun Solar Polycarbonate out performs even triple glazing in terms of heat insulation. The ultimate result is lower energy costs throughout the year and of course, healthier houseplants, colourful fabrics and a more comfortable environment.
While exposure to any natural light will cause fading, furnishings and fabrics in your conservatory fade more rapidly due to exposure to UV light and high levels of solar heat. The elimination of UV and reduction of solar heat will assist in retaining the natural colours in fabrics and extending the useful life of furnishings.
