Once again CP Films sets the standard for the Window Tinting Window Film Industry by becoming the first manufacturer to receive certification by the National Fenenstration Rating Council! (IWFA Link)

NFRC Mission Statement

NFRC develops and administers comparative energy and related rating programs that serve the public and satisfy the needs of its private sector partners by providing fair, accurate and credible, user-friendly information on fenestration product performance.

NFRC Fact Sheet

The two key measurements for window film will be highlighted with labels on the boxes of window film and on the warranty that is issued to our clients. This relates to the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient and the Visible Light Transmission.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. The SHGC is the fraction of incident solar radiation admitted through a window (both directly transmitted and absorbed) and subsequently released inward. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower a window's solar heat gain coefficient, the less solar heat it transmits in the house.

Visible Transmittance

Visible Transmittance (VT) measures how much light comes through a product. The visible transmittance is an optical property that indicates the amount of visible light transmitted. VT is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The higher the VT, the more light is transmitted.

This announcement is a very important component in the Department of Energy's Energy Star Program. It further demonstrates the attention to detail and accurate measurements that are the cornerstone for objectively defining a window film product's performance.
