How it works
The Tec-Sun Range of products address the inherent problems associated with glass windows and roofs and light weight polycarbonate; Heat, Glare and UV.
The Traditional Approach
Internal blinds may enhance the look of a room and expensive air conditioning helps to cool a room. However, both methods fail to fully address the issue of heat, glare and UV. Neither method effectively controls the sun’s powerful rays. Moreover, both methods require ongoing maintenance.
Tec-Sun tackles the problems of heat and glare from the outside. Tec-Sun Solar Polycarbonate and Window Film stop the sun’s solar energy and harmful UV from penetrating through the roof and or windows. During winter the opposite happens as the Solar Inserts and Window Film act as a barrier – helping to retain heat in the room. Unlike blinds, high levels of visible light are maintained.
The Technology Explained
Tec-Sun Solar Inserts and Window Film are made using tried and tested technology. Optical quality micro thin polyester is first laminated for strength using clear or 100% dyed polyester film for colour. It is then vacuum coated with micro fine particles of metal which lay within the polyester laminate to create differential light technology*. Chemicals that absorb high-energy ultraviolet light are introduced and a durable scratch resistant coating applied. The technology provides an effective barrier against the sun’s solar energy.
*If it is brighter outside the house than in the room, a clear view from the inside looking out is achieved however, the view from the outside is inhibited.
