ORAFOL South Africa has launched its new range of spectrally selective solar control window films: ORAGUARD® HelioShield. Designed for retrofitting on existing glass surfaces, the HelioShield range delivers climate control, energy savings, and high optical clarity without altering original architectural aesthetics.
Infrared (IR) Heat Rejection and HVAC Load Reduction
Lower cooling costs: By reflecting solar infrared radiation before it enters the room, HelioShield reduces heat build-up, helping air conditioning systems operate more efficiently.
Balanced temperature control: In non-air-conditioned spaces, it helps moderate peak summer temperatures, creating a more comfortable indoor environment.
High Light Transmission and Preserved Glass Appearance
Natural daylighting: Spectrally selective technology filters invisible heat-generating infrared rays while allowing high levels of visible light (VLT 75% and 80%) into the space.
Uncompromised views: Windows maintain clear views and natural brightness without darkening interior spaces or altering the original look of the glass.
UV Protection and Interior Protection
Blocks over 99% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, helping protect occupants while slowing the fading and degradation of interior furnishings, flooring and artwork.
Glare Reduction and Visual Comfort
Softens direct sunlight to reduce screen glare on computer monitors and displays, supporting a comfortable work environment.
Efficient Glazing Upgrade
Practical retrofit: Upgrades existing window systems to modern solar control standards without the higher cost, downtime, or material waste of full glass replacement.
Tailored Interior and Exterior Options
The ORAGUARD® HelioShield lineup offers versatile options for different building configurations:
ORAGUARD® HelioShield 75 and 80 Exterior: Installed on the outer glass surface to reject heat before it enters the glass unit, ideal for modern double-glazed setups.
ORAGUARD® HelioShield 75 and 80 Interior: Installed on the interior surface for simple application and durable performance on suitable single or multi-pane glazing.
Key Technical Considerations
– Installation temperature: 10°C to 30°C.
– Surface preparation: Clean, grease-free, and undamaged glass.
– Suitable applications: Commercial offices, residential properties, educational facilities, and retail locations.
