In contemporary home design, windows take up a large percentage of wall space and present an easy path for unwanted heat loss in winter and massive solar heat gain in summer.

SunGard, a leading window treatment specialist in Australia, offers a range of products that helps keep homes cool in summer and warm in winter.

Summer Winter low-e window film reduces the amount of radiant heat lost through the windows to the outside world during the colder months.

Conversely, in summer the same film helps reduce the penetration of infrared and ultraviolet radiation into your home.

As a result, low-e film enables your family to cut air-conditioning costs in the warmer months and reduce heating costs through the colder part of the year.

SunGard general manager Kip Linden says solar control films reduce solar heat gain through windows by up to 83% with a massive reduction in energy bills.
