Polyester shade
material structure consists of a micro thin layer of metal
bonded with a strong laminating adhesive to provide exceptional
reflective properties for the best solar solution. Using a
precise vacuum coating process, the shade material is given the
light and heat-reflecting properties of metal.

ASTM Energy Performance
Testing results from an independent lab certified by the
NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) are
outstanding and provide vital information on energy
savings. Shades used in tests were RS2G- Grey/Silver
with Side Rails. |

*Reduce energy costs up to
15% if shades are down during noon to evening heat and
side rails are used on the single pane window and up to
10% savings on a dual pane window. The tests indicate
insulation performance is 27% better with Halcyon Shades
and Total Solar Reflection- the percentage of solar
energy (UV, visible and infrared) reflected is 99%. |
