| How it works How
do you insulate a window, when most insulation materials are opaque?
Where
do you find a perfectly clear insulating material for a window?
ClearComfort - the intelligent solution
Air is invisible and makes an
excellent insulating barrier, if it can be trapped and held in place.
The
ClearComfort solution uses a totally transparent membrane to enclose an insulating
barrier of air next to the window glass.
The ClearComfort solution
uses state-of-the-art technology from the plastics and adhesives industries. By
applying our uniquely strong double-sided tape to your window frame, you can then
attach a thin transparent polymer sheet to the frame. You complete the job by
applying heat from a hairdryer to shrink the transparent sheet to a taut, invisible
membrane. Your window now has the same thermal insulation
as a standard double glazed window - at a fraction of the cost! Please
note:
The ClearComfort system provides
thermal insulation equal to a second pane of glass.
It is not a tinted film
and it is not stuck on to glass.
It insulates against heat transmission; it
does not insulate against sound transmission. Our
own industry specialist selected the ClearComfort materials (adhesive and membrane)
as the most appropriate technology for this purpose. We continue to monitor developments
of these technologies, so that we can bring you the best and most cost-effective
solutions. Many commercial window insulation systems are available
in the marketplace. The ClearComfort system is by far the most affordable. Please
be aware that while that ClearComfort system is totally clear and transparent,
close examination under certain light conditions may reveal very minor imperfections
in the membrane. Under normal viewing conditions these are invisible. However,
if you have any concerns, we suggest the purchase of a trial Minikit (and a quotation
for using the alternative, float glass). The
ClearComfort adhesive tape and membrane are tough and durable. Our oldest installations
have now been in place for over a decade. The tape is still holding firmly. The
membrane remains clear. These owners and their families have enjoyed their added
level of comfort for more than 10 summers and winters - with many more to come.
The installation has already paid for itself many times over. |
