The state of the art NDFOS sun control window film which was launched in the Sri Lanka market recently by GlassGard Ltd has attracted positive comments and remarks from experts and stakeholders involved in the design and construction of residential and commercial properties. “I have observed NDFOS sun control film reduces up to 80% of heat ingress from the glass surfaces of a building which provides a direct saving of 30% of air conditioning costs resulting in a short payback period for the investment in sun control window film,” said Pandu Amerasinghe, Consultant – Air Conditioning & Refrigeration and Immediate Past President of the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASHRAE). Incorporating energy efficiency features in both commercial and residential properties at the design stage itself helps to provide long term benefits and savings for residents as well as owners and management committees.

While blocking 99% of Ultra Violet (UV) rays which are harmful to health and reducing the risk of skin cancer, the anti-glare properties in NDFOS sun control window film reduce glare thereby helping to enhance the living experience of the occupants and residents. The NDFOS sun control window film ranges from reflective film, night view film to cool and clear film. “In addition to providing energy savings NDFOS sun control window films offers safety from glass shards if and when glass is broken due to any reason and it also helps to prevent vandalism by holding together broken or shattered glass preventing criminals from getting quick and easy access to the premises,” said GlassGard Ltd. Director/General Manager Nigel Wijesinghe. NDFOS sun control window film is manufactured in Korea and conforms to international standards for sun protection film, and is tested and certified by United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) & International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
