    Installing Low E Films on Low E Surface #3 Coated Glass -Is This a Good Idea?

    March 10th, 2011

     

    Tightening IECC standards for insulation U Factors have given renewed vitalization to the Low E window film market.  In the last year or so the release of Solutia Performance Film’s Enerlogic® 35 (and soon to be released Enerlogic 70), as well as the newly released 50% vlt Panorama™ Low E film by Bekaert Specialty Films will no doubt find their way onto more and more windows.  The impressive low emissivity performance values of these films will increase the insulating values of existing windows helping to reduce heating costs on homes and commercial buildings.  As with all window film technologies there are positive aspects but they come with a few come a few negatives as well. We want to focus on one in particular and help window film professionals avoid potential problems.

    VQ Distributing Initiates Core Recycling

    January 21st, 2011

    Vision Quest Distributing, an exclusive distributor of Hüper Optik Window Film located in Sparks Nevada has entered into an agreement with Earth First Recycling to recycle all of our polystyrene core waste, pallets, cardboard, plastics, and e waste. Rob Oranges, the Business Development Manger for Vision Quest commented “We are really excited to have a local recycling facility that can handle our polystyrene cores, this has been a three year effort to keep these materials out of our landfills and we are thrilled to see it all come to fruition.”

    Window film is an energy saving product that is applied to existing glass to increase its efficiency. It is typically rolled onto cores made of polystyrene and the challenge has always been ‘what do we do with the discarded cores?’ “Here we have a wonderful product that takes 16 times less embodied energy to produce than a replacement window. We can increase the efficiency of a window over 300% and at the same time keep plate glass out of landfills. Now we can complete the circle by recycling the cores.” states Oranges. “The next logical step is to move this out to our network of dealers and we are working hard to develop this program” he added.

    Vision Quest Distributing will continue to build on this milestone by looking into ways it can lower its environmental impact by scrutinizing its product lines. The company has made a shift into developing more eco-friendly products such as the Edge Technologies line of anti-graffiti and sealant products are all water based and non-VOC. Passing down best practices to its customer base has always been a priority and the team at Vision Quest will continue to search out partnerships that can benefit its network in the movement to be more environmentally responsible.

    Window Film Durability -Can you prove it?

    January 18th, 2011

    Power, Durability, Performance

    The need for a new window film technology arose from the fundamental problem that had existed with traditional films. They just lacked durability. Total solar energy is a combination of visible light, infrared energy (IR), and ultra violet radiation (UV). Most window films are able to filter various amounts of energy from these three regions of the electromagnetic spectrum but for how long? Well let’s put it this way… If a window film is advertised to reject 60% of the total solar energy but it loses 10-15% of its performance in the first 3 years, does that 60% energy rejection claim hold as much value now? Of course not!

The answers to these important issues is what can help you to determine a window film’s overall value and this particular blog is designed to do just that.
