Reflective window film can help optimize energy efficiency, prolong the life of product displays
and fine interiors, and even create a more productive atmosphere. In Commercial settings, like
hotels and multi-story office buildings, installation of film is highly beneficial. Approximately a
third of an average building’s cooling load is due to solar heat gain through windows,
according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Window film can cut up to 60% of total solar energy that transmits through glass, and can
yield an annual savings of up to 14.31 kWh according to Flex Your Power, California's
statewide energy efficiency marketing and outreach campaign.
•Corrugated cardboard is used to package all products and is 100% recyclable. The
cardboard itself contains 35-40% recycled content. The angle board used to reinforce the
cardboard is 100% recyclable and contains 80% post-consumer recycled material and 20%
pre-consumer recycled material. Poly tubes, EPS pads, parts tub and bubble wrap used in
packaging are also 100% recyclable.
•Custom box cutting machines are used to cut each box to the exact size of the blind. This
process eliminates wasted cardboard, packing materials and shipping energy.
Several of the Solar Shade fabrics are GREENGUARD certified.
GREENGUARD is an industry-independent, non-profit organization
that establishes acceptable indoor air standards for indoor
products, environments, and buildings. In the case of window
coverings, they test different fabrics to ensure the product’s
chemical and particle emissions meet acceptable Indoor Air
Quality pollutant guidelines and standards.
