Fade protection from the sun
Over time, the rays of the sun fade whatever is in their path. But professionally installed American Standard ASWF sun control window film blocks out 99% of the damaging ultraviolet rays that ordinary windows allow to pass through. That means that draperies, window treatments, wood furniture, upholstery and carpeting will last longer by blocking out UV rays with ASWF window film.

Keep temperature and glare under control
ASWF sun control window film reflects the hot sun in the summer and keeps you comfortable all year round. Plus, ASWF film deflects annoying glare inside your home and office while reading, watching television, or working at the computer screen.

A durable, scratch resistant coating
ASWF comes with a durable surface. This armor hard coat surface can be cleaned with most everyday household window cleaners as well.

Designer shades
Available in a beautiful palette of designer shades, ASWF offers a range of tints to coordinate with any room, including neutral.

A protective barrier
Ordinary glass will break and splinter, but having ASWF on your windows can reduce the likelihood of injury because ASWF helps hold fragments of shattered glass in place.

Guaranteed
Manufactured by American Standard in Las Vegas, NV. ASWF is backed by a manufacturer’s warranty for film and labor against cracking, peeling and delaminating when installed by an authorized dealer according to factory procedures.

Window Film: The clear answer for business

Today’s buildings utilize more glass than ever before. The trend toward open floor plans, high ceilings and extensive use of glass has become the preferred standard. But glass windows are notorious energy wasters, making building owners and managers increasingly concerned about excessive glare, heat build-up and higher energy costs.

ASWF provides comfort. Reduces glare
ASWF window film is a retrofit product installed directly to the interior side of the glass. It helps correct temperature imbalances between sunny and shady areas and it deflects harsh, uncomfortable glare reducing eye strain that is common while doing paperwork or viewing computer screens. Employees are more comfortable and more productive!
 

ASWF saves energy & Protects furnishings
ASWF can reject up to 80% of the incoming solar energy, cutting power bills. And, with 99% ultraviolet rejection & UV gard, fading of interiors will be reduced and furnishings will last longer...a small investment to protect your big investments!

ASWF beautifies windows & has easy maintenance
From the inside, American Standard has a pleasant, glare and distortion-free view and from the outside it has a uniform appearance that complements the building’s design. And, ASWF is available in a range of designer shades, including neutral. ASWF’s hard coat/ scratch-resistant coating resists scratches, keeping the film looking as new as the day it was installed assuring carefree maintenance with most conventional methods of window cleaning.

A warranty that lasts
ASWF Window Film is manufactured by American Standard in Las Vegas. All ASWF Window films installed by trained dealers in accordance with factory procedures carry the manufacturer’s warranty for film and labor. Your ASWF dealer can provide you with technical information and warranty details.

Infrared Radiation and Solar Heat Gain

Solar properties for fenestration systems are calculated following recommended industry standard procedures. The recommended procedures and solar properties for the window film industry are stated in AIMCAL documents.

These solar properties are calculated in a specific wavelength range in the electromagnetic spectrum. This range is referred to as the Solar Spectrum and includes radiation from the 300nm to the 2500nm wavelengths. The Solar Spectrum is divided into three spectral regions: Ultraviolet, or UV (300-380nm), Visible, or VIS (380-780nm) and Infrared, or IR (780-2500nm).  This IR range is also referred as Near Infrared or NIR. Far Infrared, or FIR, is not part of the Solar Spectrum.   

Heat produced by the Sun’s rays, which passes through a glazing system, is called Solar Heat Gain (SHG).  SHG has two components: directly transmitted solar radiation and absorbed solar radiation (ASHRAE 2005 Handbook Fundamentals). In order to understand the total amount of heat that may pass through a glazing system, one must understand the energy (flux distribution) that each spectral region (UV, VIS and NIR) contributes to the SHG in the Solar Spectrum. 

Total heat control performance comparisons between glazing systems can be done using the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The US Department of Energy, the Energy Star Program, the International Code Council and the National Fenestration Rating Council require the use of  the SHGC. The SHGC provides the consumer with a tool to compare the total heat gain of  different glazing systems. The lower the number (less heat gain), the better the solar control performance.  The SHGC includes the contribution of the UV, VIS and IR spectral regions and can be used to determine the solar control performance over the complete Solar Spectrum.
The use of performance data from any single region should not be considered representative of the total solar heat gain performance of any product.
