HEAT MIRROR TECHNOLOGY
Unbeatable resiliance to UV rays and extreme conditions.
From the Empire State Building in New York City to the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica Research Station, heat mirror windows were used to provide energy efficiency, cost savings, and protection from extreme weather conditions.
How Heat Mirror® technology works.
Experience the cutting-edge Heat Mirror technology, which employs multiple layers of thin, transparent films suspended within the airspace of an insulating glass unit. Coated with microscopic layers of metals or metal oxides, these films selectively reflect or transmit different wavelengths of light and heat.
During summer, Heat Mirror technology reflects a significant portion of the sun’s infrared radiation, keeping the interior cooler. In winter, it reflects interior heat back into the home, reducing heat loss and maintaining warmth. This dual-functionality ensures a consistent indoor temperature year-round, reducing the need for heating and cooling and improving energy efficiency. Additionally, Heat Mirror technology blocks harmful UV radiation, safeguarding furniture, flooring, and other surfaces from fading and damage. Enhancing comfort, energy efficiency, and UV protection, Heat Mirror technology is a game-changer for residential windows.
