IQue Spectrally Selective Films

Overview:

Glass usage in recent years has grown significantly since the advent of advanced window glazing systems. Despite this, home, commercial and retail owners have had to put up with less than ideal heat control, fade control and energy conservation.

IQue offers an extensive range of applied films, from virtually clear (non-tinted and almost colorless) films capable of blocking over half the sun’s heat without changing the appearance of existing glass, to the ones which are able to match the uniform façade of the building’s exterior glass curtain wall.

Combining high performance solar control with high visible light transmission, IQue’s clear window coatings provide a virtually transparent protective barrier against the sun’s heat and radiation. This is the ideal solution for architects, building project managers, business and homeowners who seek to make buildings and homes not only visually appealing, but also environmentally friendly and cost efficient.

In short, not only are you able to enhance the spaces of your offices and homes, you are also able to enjoy the intelligence brought about by IQue.

Products:

IQue 78FG
Looking amazingly clear, 78FG is a full-fledge, spectrally selective coating with good solar heat rejection properties. Although the total heat rejection is not as high as 73FG, the key advantage of 78FG is its high visible/natural light transmission, which may be required for certain architectural applications.

Typical applications range from retail shop fronts, restaurants, and art galleries to residential glass with very high light transmission requirements.

IQue 68P
68P offers customers a moderately spectrally selective film at a cost-effective price. Its ability to reject greater infra-red and ultra-violet radiation at a similar level of visible light transmission provides a superior edge over other conventional films in the market. Coupled with a light gold sheen, 68P has an added aesthetic dimension that offers heat control with a visible touch of class.

68P is usually used for residential and commercial projects that require solar control and that visible touch of class.

Technology:

A Technological Breakthrough
A significant advancement in Surface and Particle Science led to the development of IQue’s spectrally selective films known as IQue Selective. By tapping on the patented and proprietary V-KOOL technology and perfecting multi-layer dielectric stack, (approximately 180 nanometers thick), IQue Selective is able to intelligently filter out unwanted and harmful infrared and ultraviolet rays while allowing significant amount of visible light through.

Case Study:

Discovery at Cortex Hill, USA, 78FG
Discovery at Cortez Hill is a prestigious and luxury residential high-rise building, situated at the highest point in San Diego’s Downtown core. As these buildings constituted of large French windows, solar heat entering into the premise is one major problem, which the residents in Discovery faced. In addition, the energy costs resulting from the high air-conditioning load has also forced the management to look for a solution to solve the above-mentioned problems. The management does not want dark window film because they do not want the various blocks looking like checkerboard. 78FG is selected because it provides high clarity while rejecting a large amount of heat entering into the residences.
