Armorcoat® Solar Safety Films Save Energy While Protecting Your Windows
Solar Gard Armorcoat’s solar control safety films are tinted to provide additional sun related benefits, beyond ultraviolet protection. These films include a metallized layer of polyester, sputter-coated with durable, exotic metals for exceptional, solar control performance capabilities and color. In addition to glass retention, they’re selected for their ability to offer privacy, balance temperatures, minimize eye-straining glare, and help preserve furnishings and merchandise. Protect your occupants and property while keeping them cool and comfortable, plus yield significant energy consumption reduction with solar safety Armorcoat.
Solar heat and ultraviolet light can cause fading of furniture, carpeting, draperies and merchandise. Bekaert films reject up to 99 percent of destructive ultraviolet light and varying amounts of solar heat, helping to preserve the value of your property and provide critical health benefits.
Choose from grey-toned Stainless Steel, Solar Bronze’s warm copper finish and the more private and reflective Silver series.

How To Measure Your Windows
Prior to measuring your window, please look at your window frame to see if there are plastic seam covers around the edge of the window. These are removable and should not be included in your measurement. Many new windows manufactured over the last few years have these covers.
After you inspect the window, measure the full height and width of the glass to the exact inch and fraction of an inch. Do not include the window frame or the plastic seam covers in your measurement.
If you have any questions about measuring your windows, please contact us so we can help you through this process.
