Revitaglaze beats the heat

Window filming and glass refurbishment specialist, Revitaglaze, has recently provided its services to overcome a solar heat gain issue within a newly remodeled private dwelling. With expensive triple glazing across the entire property, residents of the three-story town house battled with direct sunlight creating unbearable summer temperatures, making one of the bedrooms unusable. Revitaglaze experts assessed the situation and recommended a specialist architectural window film as a cost-effective solution to resolve the issues without harming the aesthetics of the building.

In reducing the overbearing heat the window film used by Revitaglaze significantly reduced space cooling costs and energy consumption by roughly 30%. This solution offered a fast, low mess, low cost solution to the overbearing heat suffered by the resident. Professionally fitted, this virtually invisible window film can overcome most design challenges ensuring the aesthetics of properties are unaffected.

“As buildings become increasingly airtight and energy efficient, there is less air leakage and a consequent buildup of heat,” explains Revitaglaze’s Paul Cousineau. “Some properties, particularly those with lots of southerly aspect and double or triple glazing, can effectively become hothouses in the summer months. Unwanted over-heating of these homes can be moderated cost effectively without resorting to expensive air conditioning, by the use of window film.”

In addition to offering solar heat reduction, these window films offer significant UV protection for upholstery, curtains, carpets and other soft furnishings that may fade if subjected to direct sunlight.

From a security and safety perspective the application of window film offers blast and impact resistance preventing shards of loose glass in the event of an emergency or breakage.

These films, in providing the benefits described so far, do so far more effectively than tinted and treated glass and at a fraction of the impact on the environment. All this is achieved without forfeiting levels of natural light by diffusing the full spectrum of sunlight with glare reduction and do so without forfeiting levels of natural light.
