Huper Optik Drei
This is the highest heat rejecting, non-reflective film in the market today. It
rejects 70% of the solar energy and 98% of the infrared light
|

A
light conventional film was installed years ago to reduce some heat, mainly reducing
fading of the fabric blinds.
|
After
a few years, the traditional film was removed. Huper Optik Drei was installed on the entire west wall,
and south wall. We did alot of testing while working on this house. We
found that we reduced the room temperature over seven degrees the next
day. Utility costs were lowered an average of $125.00 per month

Huper Optik Sech
This is a very light film that is rejecting 54% of the solar
energy and 82% of the infrared. This customer wanted a film that would
help control fading, reduce the heat load of the air
conditioning system, without altering the appearance of the home. As you
can see it is virtually invisible.

Huper Optik Ceramic 30
 We applied
Huper Optik Ceramic 30 to the entire home. If you look closely, the
doors have Ceramic 30, the windows on the right have solar screens. The
solar screens were removed after installation. The customer wanted a
better view of Lake Austin, and better heat rejection. The house is ten
years old and the screens failed and are torn. Ceramic window films are
non-reflective, unlike traditional metalized films. They are lighter,
and reject more solar energy.
This film does meet Austin Energy's rebate program. We are an authorized
vendor for Austin Energy.

Most of our interior designers that we work with prefer us to
install Huper Optik Ceramic 50. This is a light film that rejects 50% of the
solar energy and 68% of the infrared light. Once installed, it looks like it
isn't on and has no reflectivity.
