Solarfrosts Window Coatings Guide

Updated: Nov 19, 2024

Window coatings are thin layers of material placed to glass surfaces to improve its performance, functionality, and appearance. Depending on their precise qualities, these coatings can serve a variety of functions and provide numerous benefits. Below are some common types of window coatings and their applications:

Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Coatings:

Low-E coatings are intended to limit heat transmission through windows while still allowing visible light to pass. They contribute to energy efficiency by reflecting infrared radiation (heat) back into the room in the winter and preventing it from entering in summer. Low-E coatings are widely utilised in energy-efficient windows to save heating and cooling costs.

Solar Control Coatings:


Solar control coatings are designed to minimise solar heat gain and reduce glare while maintaining visible light transmission. These coatings often have a high solar reflectance and low solar absorption, making interior spaces cooler and more comfortable, particularly in warm areas or buildings with extensive windows.


UV-Blocking Coatings:

UV-blocking coatings are intended to prevent a considerable amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from passing through windows. These coatings reduce UV transmission, which helps protect furnishings, artwork, and people from fading and sun damage. UV-blocking coatings are frequently used in residential and commercial settings to protect interior areas and increase occupant comfort.


Privacy Coatings:

Privacy coatings, such as frosted or opaque films, are installed to windows to block off external views while allowing natural light in. These coatings are often used in offices, conference rooms, lavatories, and other spaces that require privacy without sacrificing natural light.


Security and Safety Coatings:

Security and safety coatings, such as shatter-resistant or impact-resistant films, are intended to strengthen windows and prevent them from fracturing under impact. These coatings improve building safety and security by lowering the likelihood of break-ins, accidents, and damage from extreme weather occurrences.



Choosing The Right Window Coating.


Window coatings are a versatile and cost-effective solution for improving the performance, durability, and appearance of glass surfaces in a variety of applications. When selecting a window coating, consider intended functionality, environmental conditions, building orientation, and aesthetic preferences to choose the best solution for your needs.
