low-e window film Colorado

Low-E window film in Colorado offers a premier solution for managing diverse weather conditions across the state, from frigid winters to scorching summers. At Colorado Commercial Window Tinting, we employ state-of-the-art Low-E window film designed to optimize energy expenditure through superior window insulation.

What Is Low-E Window Film?

Low-E, or low emissivity, window film uses cutting-edge technology to regulate the passage of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light through glass while maintaining excellent visibility. This film includes a micro-thin, transparent coating that reflects interior temperatures back into the room, significantly reducing heating and cooling system load. This results in more consistent indoor temperatures and reduced HVAC costs throughout the year.

The Science Behind Low-E Window Film

Low-E film’s effectiveness stems from its ability to reflect and absorb heat energy. It features microscopic layers of metallic oxides that block most of the sun’s heat during summer and prevent indoor heat from escaping during winter, providing excellent insulation properties.

Spectral Selectivity and Visible Light Transfer

While actively blocking heat, Low-E films allow ample natural light to enter spaces, preserving the brightness and aesthetic of commercial environments without causing the harsh glare often associated with direct sunlight.

How Low-E Window Film Enhances Energy Efficiency

By installing Low-E window films, commercial buildings are transformed into greener, more energy-efficient spaces. Businesses can significantly reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and enhance their environmental footprint.

Significant Energy Cost Reductions

Low-E film prevents up to 78% of solar energy from penetrating through windows, greatly reducing the need for air conditioning in the summer. During winter months, it functions similarly to double-paned glass by retaining indoor heat and reducing heating system workload.

Payback Period and Investment

The initial investment in Low-E window film can be recouped through energy savings in about three years, making it a sustainable and economically sensible decision.

Economic and Environmental Benefits of Installing Low-E Window Film

Installing Low-E window film results in significant cost savings—often exceeding $100,000 annually. Additionally, reduced energy use leads to a smaller carbon footprint, helping to conserve the environment.

Workplace Ambiance and UV Protection

Beyond its energy-saving capabilities, Low-E film filters out harmful UV rays, helping to preserve the color and integrity of furniture, carpets, and office equipment. It also moderates natural light, minimizing screen glare and enhancing overall comfort for both employees and visitors.
