The Captain Film heat-reflective film is an effective solution to regulate the indoor temperature in residential and professional spaces. Thanks to its multi-layered structure with a metal layer, the film reflects a large portion of the sunlight responsible for overheating glass. This significantly reduces the feeling of heat without darkening the room.
Designed for indoor or outdoor use, this architectural film has an excellent resistance to weather conditions and UV radiation. The high-quality adhesive layer ensures a durable bond without air bubbles, even with significant temperature fluctuations.
Discreet and aesthetic, the heat-reflective film improves thermal comfort and simultaneously reduces air conditioning use, making it an economical and sustainable solution to improve energy efficiency.
Correct measurements are an essential step to ensure a successful installation of heat-reflective film. Start by measuring the visible width and height of the glass, excluding rubbers and glazing beads. Use a rigid tape measure and measure at multiple points, as some windows may have slight variations. Always note the largest measurement to.
Add 1 to 2 cm of extra margin in both width and height. This makes it easier to adjust the film during installation, then trim the excess with a cutter.
Before ordering, double-check all dimensions. An order of heat-reflective film and precise cutting will facilitate installation, limit corrections, and provide the best aesthetic result.
Heat-reflective film is highly recommended to improve thermal comfort without the need for major energy renovations. By blocking a large portion of the sunlight, the film helps maintain a stable indoor temperature during periods of extreme heat.
One of the main benefits is the energy savings that are achieved. By limiting the indoor temperature and reducing the use of air conditioning, the film contributes to lowering electricity consumption and the overall energy footprint. Additionally, it acts as a barrier against UV radiation, which is responsible for the premature aging of interior materials.
Thanks to its multi-layered construction, the Captain Film heat-reflective film also provides extra safety in case of glass breakage by holding the shards together. Its durability and weather resistance make it a reliable and long-lasting solution.
To apply the heat-resistant film correctly, start by thoroughly cleaning the window with soapy water, a scraper and a squeegee. This will remove any impurities that could affect the film's adhesion.
Spray a thin layer of soapy water over the entire window, then remove the protective film from the heat-resistant film. Generously moisten the adhesive side before positioning the film against the window, starting at the top. Adjust its position so that it fits perfectly.
Rub the film from the centre towards the edges to remove any trapped water and air, then trim off any excess film if necessary. Wipe the edges to remove any remaining moisture. The film will take a few weeks to dry completely, during which time small bubbles may appear, which is perfectly normal.
