""Reflective" refers to the ability of a material to reflect light or radiation. When it comes to window coatings, a reflective sheet is glued onto the glass, creating a mirror effect.
How does it work?
The reflective coating contains a thin layer of metal, usually aluminum, that reflects light rays. As a result, a large portion of the sun's radiation is reflected back and does not penetrate into the space.
Benefits of reflective window coating:
- Reducing fever: The coating reduces the amount of heat that penetrates through the window and improves the thermal insulation of the space. This contributes to energy savings and cooling the space in the summer.
- Maintaining privacy: The coating creates a mirror effect that allows you to see out without being seen in during the day (when there is more light outside than inside).
- UV protection: The coating blocks most harmful UV rays and protects furniture, flooring, and objects in the home from fading and damage.
- Design improvement: The coating gives the windows a modern and sophisticated look.
Common uses for reflective coating:
- Private houses and apartments: For improved privacy, heat reduction and UV protection.
- Offices and public buildings: To improve energy efficiency and comfort for employees and visitors.
- Showcases: To prevent glare and protect the products displayed in the window.
Important to remember:
- The mirror effect of the reflective coating only works during the day when there is more light outside than inside. At night, when the lights are turned on in the house, the situation is reversed and people outside can see inside.
- There are different levels of darkness and reflective coatings with different shades. It is recommended to consult with an expert to choose the coating that best suits your needs.
