V-Kool Wholesale Window Film

The problem with conventional window film is that it blocks visible light to such a degree that day lighting is not possible. Most conventional window films transmit less than 34% of visible light, a good 36% less than the 70% necessary to be undetected by the naked eye. The result is building interiors are correspondingly darkened, often requiring the use of increased illumination. This may lead to higher electricity consumption that may increase inside temperatures, requiring more air-conditioning. Increased utility costs defeat the major benefit of the window film: cost savings.

 Until recently, existing stores with west and south facing windows had to choose between natural light and heat control. To reduce interior temperatures and air conditioning operating cost, such facilities chose conventional heat blocking window film and gave up on experiencing the benefits of day lighting.

 That choice is no longer necessary. Now, with clear, colorless, heat blocking, spectrally selective V Kool wholesale window film, it is possible for existing retail facilities to cost effectively block heat while simultaneously enjoying the benefits of natural light.

Wholesale Window Film

 What would it cost to apply clear, colorless, spectrally selective V Kool wholesale window film? Depending on the particulars of the window instillation and the geographic area, the best spectrally selective applied V Kool wholesale window film ranges in price from approximately $9 to $12 per square foot installed. Installed prices are volume dependent; therefore, on larger projects, such superior performing window films may be installed at wholesale.

 Factoring in energy savings only, less expensive conventional window films have a shorter payback compared to more expensive spectrally selective window films. However, when you add on the cost of extra energy use for lighting and HVAC operation due to conventional window films’ inability to transmit sufficient visible light, the payback for conventional window film and spectrally selective window film becomes comparable. Given rising electricity and natural gas rates, the rate of payback for spectrally selective wholesale window film is always improving – averaging less than four years.

 The calculation of payback for wholesale window film does not usually include the increased sales day lighting brings. Add that to the equation and it is difficult to imagine what, in addition to day lighting, offers wholesale retail facilities a more compelling reason for widespread adoption of spectrally selective V Kool window film.
