Reduce Electricity Bills with Window Films by Solar Gard

Did you know that aside from deflecting the sun's intense heat from windows, you can also save on utility bills with TrueVue window films from Solar Gard?

It all started when trees were removed from in front of Mount Beauty Tourist Information Centre/Alpine Shire Council building in Victoria. Where there once was a source of shade, the windows became unprotected from the harsh beating of the sun.

Resulting to a significant heat increase which became prevalent in the summer, some parts of the centre became virtually unusable. Aside from the heat which became a source of discomfort among both staff and visitors, the glare from the bright sun became an issue.

This was when Alpine Tint's Chris Wingard suggested to Alpine Shire Council's Manager Asset Maintenance, Michael Buckley, to install Solar Gard TrueVue 15 film to the building's 6mm laminated windows. After undergoing a film-to-glass check, the film was deemed suitable for the glass type- and the rest is history.

Truevue window solar films were proven to reject 80% of solar energy, reducing energy costs as a direct result of a more efficiently functioning HVAC system. It also reduced glare up to 87% allowing visitors and staff to have a more comfortable environment. An energy analysis by Solar Gard was done and test results projected an annual saving of over $2,900 or 6,300 kWh of electricity- which is about $240 a month!
