Compare Typical Window Performance in the summer
In summer windows provide desirable daylight and a view, but also allow infiltration, unwanted glare, heat gain, plus damaging UV rays to enter buildings. The damaging results include increased greenhouse effect, increasing interior temperatures, and cooling costs, decreasing comfort, and productivity in work environments, not to mention the UV damage to furniture, carpets, etc.

The “In’Flector” Difference
In the summer the In’Flector Window Insulator are positioned so that the silver side faces out and reflects 72% of radiant heat back out through the window (reducing the greenhouse effect in buildings). It also reflects 65% of solar gain back out through the window (reducing overheating in buildings); and reflects 92% of damaging UV rays back out through the windows (reducing fading & sun damage); controls glare (especially for computers & televisions); provides daytime privacy (one way vision); provide cool day lighting with a view; reduces the load, wear, & maintenance on HVAC units. It reduces cooling requirements which reduces energy consumption, saving you money.

Typical Window Performance in the winter
While windows allow daylight and solar gain which we want in the winter they also allow the sun’s damaging UV rays to enter through the windows. Additionally, heat escapes through the windows at night and daily through windows that do not receive sunlight (north facing windows) plus through east, west, and south facing windows when there is no direct or sustained sunshine. Not to mention heat loss due to exfiltration.

The “In’Flector” Difference
In colder climates in the winter the In’Flector Window Insulators are reversed so that the silver side (aluminum) is facing inward, reflecting the thermal heat back into the building reducing heat loss through the windows. For windows that have direct exposure to the sun the black side of the In’Flector faces outward and acts as a passive solar collector absorbing the suns rays and radiating the heat inward. As an example, a 4 X 4 window in direct sunlight can produce 2096 BTU’s of heat per hour, which is equivalent to a 600 watt electric heater. Meanwhile the damaging UV rays are reflected back outside. Here the In’Flector Window Insulators reduce the load, wear, & maintenance on HVAC units. It reduces heating requirements, which reduces your heating costs, and saves you money.
