Shading Coefficient, is the ratio of solar heat gain through
a given glazing system to that of a standard glass pane under the same
test conditions. It is the measure of the sun control capability. The
lower the shading coefficient, the more efficient the glazing system.
% Total Solar energy rejected, is the ratio of the amount
of total solar energy in the full solar wavelength range (300-2,100
nm) that is prevented from passing through a glazing system to the amount
of the total solar energy falling on that glazing system.
% Total Solar energy Reflected, in the ratio of the amount of
total solar energy in the full solar wave length range(300-2,100 nm)
that is directly reflected by the glazing system to the amount of solar
energy falling on that glazing system.
% Total Solar energy Absorptance, is the ratio of the amount
of total solar energy in the full solar wavelength range (300-2,100
nm) that is directly absorbed by the glazing system to the amount of
total solar energy falling on that system.
% Total Solar energy Transmitted, is the ratio of the amount
of total solar energy in the full solar wavelength range (300-2,100
nm) that passes directly through the glazing system to the amount of
total solar energy falling on that glazing system.
% Visible Light Reflectance, is the ratio of visible solar energy
in the range (380-780 nm) that is reflected by a given glazing system
to the total visible solar energy falling on the system.
% Visible Light Transmitted (VLT), is the ratio of visible solar
energy in the range (380-780 nm) that passes through a given glazing
system to the total visible solar energy falling on the system.
UV Transmission
The amount of UV light that is blocked by a particular film type.
Emissivity, is a measure of the ability of a product to reflect
long wave room radiant energy. The lower the Emissivity, the higher
the ability of the material in question to retain the rooms' heat.
After extensive market research and countless hours reviewing
and comparing technical and warranty data South Coast Tints
bring to you the best products from the world's top manufacturers.
The majority of South Coast Tints films are supplied by Bonwyke
Ltd, formed in 1979, they are the largest independent supplier
of window films in the U.K and Europe.
