Energy Efficient Coating

Save Your Energy With Heat Shield

There’s a good chance the technology you’re interested in is called low-emissivity (Low-E) coating, which is a type of energy-efficient window treatment that Heat Shield likely utilizes. Here’s a breakdown of how it works for all seasons:

Summer Heat Control:

  • They function by reflecting infrared (IR) radiation, the invisible heat component of sunlight. This essentially acts like a mirror for heat, bouncing it back outside before it can enter your home.
  • By reflecting a significant portion of IR rays, these coatings significantly reduce heat gain during summers, keeping your living space cooler.
  • This translates to lower demand for air conditioning, potentially leading to substantial energy cost savings.

Winter Heat Retention:

  • The same Low-E coating that reflects hot summer rays in reverse offers benefits in winters.
  • Instead of reflecting heat outwards, it helps trap indoor heat by reflecting thermal radiation (heat emitted from objects inside your home) back into the living space.
  • This reduces heat loss through windows, allowing your heating system to work less efficiently and potentially lowering your winter energy bills.
