Retrofit Glazing Products
SOLIS®RETROFIT SOLAR CONTROL FILM |
|
Solis is a retrofit product that is applied directly to existing widows. The combination of film and coating blocks over half of the sun's heat and
virtually all of the damaging ultra-violet radiation, while virtually clear in appearance. Solis will not alter the view-looking in or out, day or night.
There is no mirrored appearance.
- The features and benefits of Solis are:
- Reduces solar heat again by over half-comfort goes up, cooling costs go down.
- Clear, colorless appearance-critical for retail display and "view" windows.
- 98% ultraviolet screening-decreases sun fading of fabrics, furnishing and display merchandise.
- Holds broken glass together - reduces liability and risk of injury.
- Slows heat loss in winter by 15%-increases insulation values of single or double pane windows
- Scratch resistant, easy to keep clean-just wash, wipe or squeegee as before windows were treated

Solis data collected using a Perkin Elmer Lambda 9 Spectrophotometer. All double pane performance information was calculated using 1995 Spectral Data from
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories' Window 4.1 analysis program. Data used for Green, Blue, Bronze and Gray is that for PPG Industries Solex®, Azurlite®, Solarbronze®
and Solargray®.
