Exterior glass insulation film is a kind of functional film applied to the surface of architectural glass, which has a variety of advantages, especially outstanding in energy saving, safety and aesthetics. The following are its main advantages:



1. High-efficiency heat insulation and energy saving
Reducing heat transfer: heat insulation film can reflect or absorb most of the sun's infrared rays (the source of heat), effectively blocking outdoor heat from entering the room in summer, reducing the air-conditioning load, and saving energy consumption (usually reduces the energy consumption of refrigeration by 20%-40%).
Regulate temperature difference: It can also reduce indoor heat loss in winter and keep the temperature stable.

2. UV protection
Blocking 99% of UV rays: protects indoor furniture, flooring, curtains, etc. from fading and aging caused by UV radiation, while reducing the risk of skin cancer.

3. Enhance Comfort
Reduce Glare: Filtering strong light, relieving the blinding problem caused by direct sunlight, improving the indoor light environment, especially suitable for office and living space.
4. Enhance privacy and aesthetics
One-way vision or dimming: Some of the films provide privacy protection, making it difficult to see the interior from the outside, while the exterior can be clearly seen from the interior.
Various colors/textures: Different appearances can be selected according to the architectural style to enhance the overall aesthetics.

5. Safety and explosion-proof
Prevents glass from splashing: Even if the glass breaks due to impact, the film can stick to the fragments, reducing the risk of injury, especially for high-rise buildings or typhoon-prone areas.

6. Economical and practical
Lower cost than glass replacement: Compared with replacing insulating or Low-E glass, the film costs less and the construction is convenient (no need to remove the original glass).
Extend the life of glass: Reduce the damage of thermal stress on the glass, reduce the probability of cracking.

7. Environmental performance
Indirectly reduces carbon emissions by reducing the frequency of air-conditioning use, in line with green building standards.

8. Other Functions
Anti-scratch and wear-resistant: the surface of high-quality film is hardened for durability.
Easy to clean: Some of the products have anti-fouling coating, reducing cleaning and maintenance costs.

Applicable Scenarios
Commercial buildings: office buildings, shopping malls, hotels and other large-area glass curtain walls.

Residential: windows, balconies, sunrooms with severe western exposure.

Public facilities: hospitals, schools, airports and other places that require both safety and energy saving.

Precautions Choose regular brands (e.g. 3M, Dragon Film, Saint-Gobain, etc.) to ensure that the performance is up to standard.

The construction should be operated by professional team to avoid bubbles or wrinkles affecting the effect.

Different climatic regions should choose suitable film types (e.g. high reflectivity is suitable for hot regions).

In conclusion, exterior glass insulation film is a cost-effective solution to enhance building performance, taking into account functionality, safety and economy.
