Make Your Glass
Pay its Way
Lower Your Building’s Cooling Costs Up to 25% Without Replacing Your Windows
✔ Slash peak heat gain and tame hot/cold spots—without dark, mirror‑like tint.
✔ Lower HVAC load & runtime while improving occupant comfort, focus, and satisfaction.
✔ Protect interiors from fading with ~99% UV blockage so your finishes, flooring, and displays last longer.
Windows drive a meaningful chunk of a commercial building’s heating and cooling energy. Independent research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory shows applied low‑e/solar‑control films can reduce heating and cooling energy use—an immediate retrofit with measurable impact.
The Invisible Advantage:
Spectrally Selective Science
Most “dark tints” block visible light and ruin the view.
V‑KOOL is different. Its multi‑layer, spectrally‑selective construction targets the infrared (heat) portion of sunlight far more than visible light—so the space stays bright while heat stays out.
VK70, our flagship clear architectural film, delivers:
-
~70% light transmission (bright, natural daylight)
-
~55% Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) (significant heat reduction)
-
~99% UV rejection (fade protection)
-
Low exterior reflectance (~9%) (no “mirror building” look)
-
High selective IR rejection (SIRR ~89%)
Values measured on 3 mm single‑pane clear glass using NFRC guidelines; actual performance varies by glass type and configuration.
Trusted By Demanding Facilities
From corporate campuses to retail flagships and public institutions, V‑KOOL has been selected where comfort, clarity, and efficiency all matter:
- American Institute of Architects (AIA) Headquarters, Washington, D.C. chose VK70 after evaluating multiple brands.
- Guggenheim Museum, New York integrated V‑KOOL into its skylight retrofit to preserve daylight while reducing solar gain and UV exposure on priceless artwork.
- Exxon specified VK70 for new stores facing high solar load.
- International Airport in the Dominican Republic reported $100,000+ in energy savings after installation (in combination with other measures).
Why Building Managers Choose V‑KOOL
1) Lower operating costs, fast payback
Many commercial customers see 10–25% annual energy‑cost reduction and a 2–4 year payback once heat gain is controlled—all without replacing glazing or disrupting tenants for weeks.
2) Keep the architecture you paid for
Maintain a bright, open plan and exterior appearance. With VK70’s ~70% visible light transmission and low reflectance, your lobbies, conference rooms, and tenant suites keep their design intent—just with less heat and glare.
3) Proven materials, professional install
V‑KOOL is a globally recognized advanced window‑film brand; installations are performed by professionally certified teams known for precision and craftsmanship.
4) Commercial‑grade warranty
V‑KOOL architectural films for businesses carry a manufacturer 10‑year warranty against film failure (peeling, bubbling, cracking, demetallization, etc.).
What Your Project Looks Like (Start‑to‑Finish)
Step 1 — On‑site glass & load assessment
We review your façades by orientation, glazing type, and occupant comfort complaints (hotspots, glare on screens), then propose the best film in the VK series (VK70, VK55, VK40, etc.). Specs are NFRC‑based for apples‑to‑apples comparisons.
Step 2 — Energy & ROI projection
You’ll receive a building‑specific projection using industry‑standard modeling that estimates kWh and cost savings so finance can green‑light with confidence (note: typical customers reference 10–25% energy cost reduction and a 2–4 year payback).
Step 3 — Low‑disruption installation
Install is done from the interior. We coordinate off‑hours or phased work to minimize noise and downtime—an approach used on hospitality and public venues where 24/7 operations matter.
We complete quality checks, train your team on care, and register your 10‑year commercial warranty.
What’s Inside the V‑KOOL Solution
✔ Spectrally‑selective films that reject heat (TSER) while maintaining daylight and views (e.g., VK70).
✔ UV protection (~99%) to help slow fading of floors, fabrics, and displays.
✔ Certified installation network known for clean edges, uniform adhesion, and precise detailing.
✔ V-KOOL commercial window films come with a 10-year limited warranty that covers issues like fading, discoloration, peeling, bubbling, cracking, and delamination

Frequently Asked Questions
How does V‑KOOL lower our building’s energy costs?
Spectrally‑selective architectural films let in daylight while reflecting heat‑heavy IR, reducing solar heat gain and helping lower HVAC load and energy costs.
Which films do you recommend for offices, retail or hospitality?
Three go‑to families: Spectrally‑Selective (FG) Series for maximum light + heat control, Performance Series for broader tint options, and Safety & Security Films for impact resistance on doors and storefront glazing.
Will staff still enjoy clear views and natural light?
Yes. High‑VLT spectrally‑selective films keep interiors bright and open while filtering the heat that makes spaces uncomfortable.
Does it protect merchandise and interiors from fading?
Absolutely—V‑KOOL blocks ~99% of UV, the primary contributor to fading, and cuts heat to further slow sun damage to displays, flooring, and furnishings.
Can we cut screen glare without making rooms too dark?
Yes—tinted options manage glare by reducing a portion of visible light. In glazing terms, “glare reduction” is simply the percentage of visible light curtailed.
How disruptive is installation for tenants?
Installs are performed from the interior by certified teams; we phase work by zone (and can schedule off‑hours). Curing is normal and clears as the adhesive dries.
Is it compatible with double‑pane, tempered, or laminated glass?
Yes—when properly specified. Most V‑KOOL films’ low absorption makes them suitable across common commercial glass types; we verify each façade before installation.
What ROI should we expect?
Actual results vary by glass, climate and utility rates, but V‑KOOL USA reports many projects see 2-4 year payback and 10–25% annual utility‑cost reduction when conditions are favorable. We can model your building.
Can V‑KOOL enhance safety & security?
Yes—Safety & Security films improve shatter resistance and help hold glass together under impact, adding protection for entry doors, ground‑level glass, and interior partitions.
Are your performance numbers third‑party verified?
Yes—our film‑on‑glass ratings are listed in the NFRC database (e.g., VKOOL 70/73FG). We share job‑specific data in proposals.
