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.
