Radiant Energy Barrier Window Products

"Solar Comfort Window Products provide an engineered solution to heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter with a line of high efficiency window products unlike anything on the market.

In fact, they are not standard window treatments at all, but radiant energy barriers based on NASA technology, the same technology that helps keep astronauts comfortable in their spacecraft despite outside temperatures of +250° to -400° Fahrenheit.

Traditional insulating materials such as fiberglass, Styrofoam, and rock wool only absorb or slow down convective and conductive heat transfer. Yet the most dominant form of heat transfer is radiant heat transfer. Solar Comfort Window Products use radiant barrier technology to offer a permanent way to reduce energy costs by reflecting radiant heat energy instead of trying to absorb it.

In the summer the glass in your windows will absorb about 3% of this sun energy. The rest of it travels right through the glass and into your home. Solar Comfort Window Products reflect up to 85% of the energy that comes through the glass back outside before it can heat up your home.

During the winter, the process is reversed. Because heat travels from hot to cold the heat energy wants to travel from inside your house to the exterior. Solar Comfort Window Products reflect the heat energy back into your house before it can pass through the glass and outside.

Solar Comfort Window Products significantly reduce the energy exchange process to reduce energy loss and save you money."
