ENHANCING SAFETY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND THE BEAUTY OF YOUR BUILDING
For all their beauty, windows can introduce real challenges: rising energy costs, occupant discomfort, safety and security risks, and interior fading. GlassLock solar window films are designed to reduce—or even eliminate—many of the problems traditional glass creates, helping your building perform better without sacrificing natural light or views.
Most of us have experienced it: when morning or afternoon sunlight pours through windows, indoor temperatures rise quickly. HVAC systems are forced to work harder to maintain comfort, while other areas of the building may become uncomfortably cold. The result is higher energy costs, inconsistent temperatures, and reduced occupant comfort.
There is a solution.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY & HEAT REJECTION
GlassLock solar window films reject up to 79% of the sun's heat at the window surface. By dramatically reducing solar heat gain, these films help HVAC systems operate more efficiently, lowering energy consumption and reducing cooling costs.
Key energy benefits include:
- Reduced air conditioning demand
- Improved indoor temperature balance
- Lower overall energy costs
- Increased insulation performance while maintaining clear views
In warmer weather, GlassLock Sun Control Plus all-season window films add insulation value that helps stabilize interior temperatures and improve comfort year-round.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
IMPROVED HVAC PERFORMANCE
As commercial buildings transition to more environmentally responsible refrigerants, many chiller systems experience a reduction in cooling capacity—sometimes by as much as 15%. By reducing solar heat gain by 19% to 76%, GlassLock window films help offset this efficiency loss. In many cases, applying window film allows building owners to maintain indoor comfort without adding expensive cooling equipment or increasing annual operating costs due to extended chiller runtimes.
GLARE REDUCTION AND OCCUPANT COMFORT
Excessive glare can cause eye strain, reduce productivity, and make interior spaces uncomfortable. GlassLock window films reduce glare while still allowing natural light to enter, creating a more comfortable and functional environment for occupants.
AESTHETIC ENHANCEMENT
From the exterior, window film helps minimize the appearance of interior clutter, uneven lighting, and inconsistent window conditions. GlassLock offers a wide selection of films with varying color densities and heat-rejection levels, allowing building owners to achieve the right balance between performance and appearance.
UV PROTECTION AND FADE REDUCTION
Ultraviolet radiation is a primary cause of fading and material degradation. Carpeting, furniture, artwork, window treatments, and interior finishes can quickly lose value when exposed to prolonged sunlight. GlassLock window films filter out up to 99% of harmful UV rays, significantly reducing fading and helping preserve interior investments.
SAFETY AND GLASS RETENTION
GlassLock window films use advanced adhesive technology to bond securely to glass surfaces. In the event of breakage, the film helps hold shattered glass together, reducing the risk of injury from severe weather, earthquakes, explosions, fires, accidental impact, or vandalism.
