Solar Gard Window Films: Cut the Heat, Keep the Light

With so many standard window films vying for market supremacy, Bekaert is proud to present the next level in window films: the spectrally selective Bekaert Solar Gard LX 70.

The Bekaert Solar Gard LX 70 takes control of the unwanted thermal effects of the sun, while maintaining a soft warm glow and maximising your viewing pleasure - and all without changing the natural look of the window.

The Bekaert Solar Gard LX 70 window film combines impressive solar capabilities with exceptional transparency, and its very low reflectivity dramatically minimises the mirror effect so often associated with other solar window films, even at night.

Mr Peter Wotton, Managing Director of Bekaert in Australia puts this versatility down to Bekaert’s superior technology and exclusive materials. “This is a result of Bekaert’s state-of-the-art manufacturing process, premium raw materials and unique, patent-pending layering of exotic metals, such as titanium oxide, gold and silver,” Mr Wotton says. “Bekaert’s cutting-edge technology allows this film to block select wavelengths of the sun’s unwanted radiation, while still transmitting a high amount of visible light - keeping out the heat you don’t enjoy, and maintaining the light you love”.

LX 70 blocks over 99 per cent of damaging ultraviolet radiation and will reduce the total Solar Energy entering your windows by up to 55 per cent, all without noticeably affecting the look of your glass. It is these standout qualities that make Bekaert Solar Gard LX 70 the most desirable window film for such a diverse range of applications, and across such a broad spectrum of end-users. Business and storefront occupants will immediately benefit from the elimination of hotspots around windows and glass doors, with balanced room temperatures and improved personal comfort. Long term benefits for owners and occupiers include reduced energy costs, and a greatly prolonged lifespan for furnishings and décor.

Bekaert Solar Gard LX 70 is an optically clear, polyester-based glass coating, applied to the interior of a room’s glass surface by an independent, trained, window film professional. As with all glass with a Solar Gard film, windows treated with the Solar Gard LX 70 are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty coverage from 10 years to lifetime.

Besides the LX 70, Solar Gard also have an extensive range of other products for various applications. Depending on the desired appearance and required performance - whether it be adding security to a glazed surface or dressing up a partition with frosted graphics - Solar Gard have a window film to meet every need.
