I invite you to check out V-KOOL Window Films
Harvesting daylight while making your glass perform
For over fifteen years, V-KOOL® is the leading clear window coating that solves the visibility and appearance problems of conventional window tints and reflective films, while significantly reducing solar heat build up.
V-KOOL technology is based on rejecting heat at the window versus absorbing the heat like ceramics and other film technologies. Independent industry tests show that absorbing technologies add stress to the glass and are less efficient, therefore inferior. When applied to glass, V-KOOL allows up to 77% of visible light to pass while eliminating over 96% of infrared and 99% of ultraviolet light.
Retrofit your existing windows or apply to your newly constructed windows. V-KOOL,Inc., the exclusive distributor in the western hemisphere, is the clear choice for your need to block the heat while allowing light to pass through.
In most cases, applying V-KOOL Window Films is at least half the cost of replacing your windows with high performance glass. Call us to find out how big your savings can be!
The hot sun streaming through your windows as you drive can send temperatures soaring, leaving you hot and uncomfortable—even with the air conditioning on. In large part, this problem is caused by radiant heat from the sun’s infra-red radiation. Until recently there was virtually nothing you could do about it.
See the Light Without Taking the Heat.
When applied to the windows of your car, V-KOOL forms a virtually transparent, protective barrier against the sun’s heat. Independent testing shows that V-KOOL actually screens out 96% of scorching infra-red radiation and 99% of harmful ultraviolet light, the radiation that causes skin and eye damage. That’s the equivalent of a sunscreen lotion with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 200. The results are like sunshine without the heat.
By comparison, tinted, non-reflective window treatments filter out at most 15% of the sun’s infra-red heat. Tinted windows also detract from the appearance of your car. And they pose a safety danger by reducing visibility, especially at night, making it feel as though you’re driving with sunglasses on. V-KOOL, on the other hand, is virtually transparent, so it doesn’t significantly affect your ability to see, and it maintains the integrity of your car’s design.
Strong on Efficiency and Protection.
A V-KOOL coating helps to lower temperatures quickly at start up, allowing the passenger cabin to cool faster. You cruise in comfort, subjecting your air conditioner to less strain and improving fuel efficiency. V-KOOL also protects expensive upholstery and audio equipment by shielding it from destructive heat and high ultraviolet levels.
Increased Fuel Efficiency
Visteon Corporation, and V-KOOL manufacturer, Southwall Technologies, Inc., together with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) announced favorable results from a July 2000 desert test program. Results of the program demonstrate that a test vehicle equipped with Southwall’s V-KOOL XIR® transparent, infrared reflecting film, had significantly reduced interior temperatures and would exhibit approximately a 3% improvement in fuel economy, compared to the control vehicle equipped with standard tinted glass.
The Fitting Solution.
To ensure a quality fit, V-KOOL is applied by highly trained professional installers. Every V-KOOL installation comes with a five year warranty that guarantees it will perform to stated specifications without fading, discoloration, cracking, peeling, adhesive failure, delaminating or demetallizing.
Don’t let the summer sun drive you to distraction. V-KOOL is the clear choice, providing the ultimate in solar heat reduction and comfort combined with high visibility and safety.
Over 8 million cars worldwide have V-KOOL technology, and many top care manufacturers like Mercedes, BMW, Audi and more have V-KOOL technology in their glass manufacturers at the factory.
Beautiful windows are an important part of your home’s appeal. But the summer sun raging through them can cause heat to build, driving up air conditioning costs.
The villain is infra-red heat. In combination with potent ultraviolet radiation, it is also responsible for fading expensive furnishings. Until recently, there was very little you could do to protect yourself. Curtains and drapes can absorb these rays causing loss of sunlight and fading. Covering windows with dark tints or reflective glass forces you to compromise the integrity of your home’s architectural design.
The Beauty of V-KOOL is Clear to See
Independent tests show that when V-KOOL is applied to the windows of your home, it forms a unique, virtually transparent protective barrier. This revolutionary window coating:
• Blocks 90% of the infra-red heat that drives up air conditioning costs
• Eliminates 99% of the UV rays that can ruin expensive rugs, upholstery and other furnishings while damaging skin and eyes
• Has an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 200+ to protect your eyes and skin from damage.
• Allows over 70% of visible light through to preserve the visual integrity of your home
• Allows home owners to fully enjoy the view without obscuring their ability to see out at night, as is the case with reflectives and tints
• Allows maximum daylight to make rooms bright and airy.
• Windows become shatter resistant.
Safe at Home
V-KOOL also offers V-KOOL Secure.® In addition to providing sun protection, this strong, shatter-resistant safety film offers protection from debris/ projectiles, terrorism and natural disasters, such as tornadoes or hurricanes.
A Successful, Recognized Product
V-KOOL is used by a large number of companies, businesses and organizations. It can be found on the Stanford University campus, the American Institute of Architect’s building in Washington, D.C. and Alltel Stadium, in Jacksonville, Florida. Esprit, Calico Corners, Sephora, Chico Fas, Albertson’s, Hallmark, Sketcher’s Shoes, Exxon On the Run and Haircuttery and many more also use V-KOOL.
A Scientific Breakthrough
V-KOOL is the product of major advances in surface and particle science and was originally developed for America’s space and defense programs. It works through a patented process known as sputtering in which tiny particles of exotic metals are embedded in optically clear, durable polyester film. V-KOOL technology was in the top 100 inventions of the millennium by Popular Science Magazine.
The Fitting Solution
To ensure a quality fit, V-KOOL is applied by highly trained professional installers, and all work is fully guaranteed. Every installation comes with a limited lifetime warranty that guarantees V-KOOL will perform to stated specifications without fading, discoloration, cracking, peeling, bubbling, adhesive failure, delaminating or demetallizing.
Enjoy the Beauty. Keep Out the Beast.
Enjoy the ultimate protection from scorching infra-red heat and destructive UV rays without losing the sunlight or spoiling your home’s architectural integrity.
V-KOOL is Your Ultimate Sun Barrier
The sun’s infrared heat streaming through windows can cause inside temperatures to climb, driving up air conditioning costs. But until recently, there were only a few, limited ways you could deal with this heat problem.
Retail establishments and commercial buildings could apply dark tints or reflective window coatings. Unfortunately, for retailers, tints and reflective coatings significantly reduce visibility from the outside. As a result, window displays and furnishings lose their impact, so potential customers don’t see them at their best—or in some cases at all. On commercial buildings, tints and reflective coatings affect the appearance of the building, detracting from its architectural integrity.
Finally, there’s a real solution—a product that actually solves the visibility and appearance problem while significantly reducing solar heat build up.
Block the Heat without Losing the Light
No other product can compare to V-KOOL’s performance. When applied to your windows, V-KOOL forms a virtually transparent barrier that blocks up to 65% of total heat. At the same time, V-KOOL eliminates over 96% of the sun’s infrared rays while providing excellent daylighting, allowing up to 77% of visible light to enter. That means less need for expensive air conditioning and electric lighting, making V-KOOL a great way to help control soaring energy costs. V-KOOL also screens out 99% of the ultraviolet light that, in combination with infrared rays, causes materials and products to fade and can damage skin and eyes.
SPF 200+
Independent testing at the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) have shown that V-KOOL coatings provide occupants with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of over 200. Considering that your average sunblock has only an SPF of 30, you can now drive and ride knowing you’ve got state-of-the-art technology protecting you and your interiors.
And because it is not a tint, V-KOOL does not hinder your ability to see out at night.
Energy Star Building Ally
Investing in V-KOOL technology is also investing in the environment. Through significant energy conservation, V-KOOL technology contributes to lowering energy consumption, and air pollution worldwide. This commitment and effort has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a governmental agency overseeing environmental conservation. V-KOOL Inc. has been awarded the prestigious Energy Star Building Ally marque.
