Reduce Radiant Heat with Window Tinting

Problem:

The Facilities Manager from a chain of Westfields shopping malls approached Paragon with four major issues. Firstly he needed a window film that would reduce maximum radiant heat transferring through the skylight glass to improve customer comfort. Secondly he wanted the air conditioning to work more efficiently, which in turn will save on energy costs. Thirdly he wanted a film that would let enough natural light in, but reduce the amount of excessive light that was causing added eyestrain to customers and employees. Finally he wanted to protect the staff, and preserve the furnishings, fabrics, carpets, and artwork from the damaging UV rays of the sun.

Solution:

3M™ RE15SIARXL EXTERNAL SOLAR CONTROL FILM: 79-83% Solar Energy Rejection, 82% Glare Reduction & 99% U.V. Protection. The skylight was three-four levels from the floor, so an external application meant easier access to the glass with no interruption to the retail stores below & could be installed during normal working hours. The skylight glass already had an existing external film attached which had broken down over time & was not performing at all. Paragon successfully removed the film and thoroughly cleaned the glass before applying the new 3M film. Once the new film was applied Paragon sealed the edges with silicon, then applied a roofing tape for extra protection and a longer lifespan.

Results:

Since installing the 3M™ RE15SIARXL external window film, it has substantially reduced heat up to 83% increasing comfort for employees and customers, also in return, saving on energy costs. The effects of eye strain on the workers by reducing substantial amounts of glare, increasing their personal health, protected furnishings from damaging ultra violets rays & since the application, the staff and owners of the company, have reassurance with 3M’s product performance with multiple benefits.

Benefits:

– Reduced glare & eye strain for employees & customers
– External application meant no interruption for businesses below
– UV protection for staff & fading of interior chattels
– More economical & suitable than installing blinds
– Savings on energy costs
