The Tec-Sun Range of products address the The Tec-Sun Range of products address the inherent problems associated with glass windows inherent problems associated with glass windows and roofs and light weight polycarbonate: and roofs and light weight polycarbonate: Heat, Glare and UV. Heat, Glare and UV.

The traditional approach - Internal blinds - may enhance the look of a room and expensive air conditioning helps to cool a room. However, both methods fail to fully address the issue of heat, glare and UV. Neither method effectively controls the sun’s powerful rays. Moreover, both methods require ongoing maintenance.

Tec-Sun tackles the problems of heat and glare from the outside. Tec-Sun Solar Polycarbonate and Window Film stops the sun’s solar energy and harmful UV from penetrating the roof and or windows. During winter the opposite happens as the Solar Inserts and Window Film act as a barrier – helping to retain heat in the room. Unlike blinds, high levels of visible light are maintained.

The Technology ExplainedTec-Sun Solar Inserts and Window Film are made using tried and tested technology. Optical quality micro thin polyester is fi rst laminated for strength

using clear or 100% dyed polyester fi lm for colour. It is then impregnated with micro fi ne particles of metal which lay within the polyester laminate to create differential light technology*. Chemicals that absorb high-energy ultraviolet light are introduced and a durable scratch resistant coating applied. The technology provides an effective barrier against the sun’s solar energy.

*If it is brighter outside the house than in the room, a clear view from the inside looking out is achieved however, the view from the outside is inhibited.

HOW IT WORKS

Not only does Tec-Sun’s range of products help make your living space more comfortable and protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays they also:

Protect you and your environment

Help you reduce energy costs

The sun’s UV rays can cause the most damage to us and the things around us. UV radiation causes fading and weakening in fabrics. The excessive heat can cause certain woods to dry and crack and will almost certainly kill off your houseplants!The highly specialised production process of Tec-Sun Solar Inserts and Window Film ensure that up to:

99% of UV light is absorbed

85% of the sun’s solar energy is rejected

Up to 80% of the sun’s glare is rejected

Reducing our energy consumption is a priority for all of us from a fi nancial and an environmental perspective.

The installation of Tec-Sun Solar Inserts and/or Window Film will help create a cooler and more attractive living or working space. During the summer, the solar shield will reject the sun’s heat. In the winter the internal heat is absorbed and refl ected, taking away cold spots and greatly improving the heat retention in a room.

Tec-Sun Solar Polycarbonate outperforms even triple glazing in terms of heat insulation. The ultimate result is lower energy costs throughout the year and of course, healthier houseplants, colourful fabrics and a more comfortable environment.

PROTECT YOU AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT

YOUR SKIN IS PROTECTED AGAINSTTHE SUN’S HARMFUL UV RAYS

While exposure to any natural light will cause fading, furnishings and fabrics in your conservatory fade more rapidly due to exposure to UV light and high levels of solar heat. The elimination of UV and reduction of solar heat will assist in retaining the natural colours in fabrics and extending the useful life of furnishings.

SAFETY AND SECURITYSAFETY AND SECURITYSAFETY AND SECURITY

SafetyOften, your glass windows and doors are the weakest point of a building. Tec-Sun Security window fi lm offers anti shatter protection which holds shards of glass in place in the event of a breakage, protecting you and your family from injury. Our clear fi lm combines added security with 99% UV protection and is unobtrusive.

Regulation 14 of the Health, Safety and Welfare regulations 1992 (Workplace) stipulates that your glazing must be safe below waist height in windows and below shoulder height in doors. Tec-sun Safety Window Film upgrades your glass windows and doors to meet this standard.

SecurityGood locks on windows and doors are essential. However, a large proportion of break in’s are opportunists. Often it is an available object, a brick or stone which is used to break glass to gain entry. Tec-Sun Security fi lm offers an invisible protection against burglars.
