Inflector Radiant Barrier / Solar Windows

What Is The Inflector Radiant Barrier?

The see through Inflector Radiant Barrier is a patented process of a metalized coated polyethylene sheet (Shiny side) which is laminated to a sheet of carbon granite (Darker side), that is then perforated and laminated to a sheet of clear polyester.

The unique benefit of the inflector products is that each side of the inflector material provides different benefits for different parts of the country, in different climates and in all seasons.

The metallic or shiny side of the inflector is the primary energy part. Using the radiant heat principal, this shiny side is mounted facing inward during the cold or winter season and outward during the warmer or summer seasons. Tests have proven that when mounted inward in colder seasons, it will perform as a thermal barrier, keeping your heated room temperature from being cooled against the cold glass. It does this by reflecting your rooms’ heat away from the surface of the glass. In summer seasons the metallic side is mounted facing outward to reflect the suns’ energy or solar heat gain away from the inside of the building.

The dark non-reflective side of the inflector, when facing outward in the cold season, will absorb the suns’ energy and transfer it into the heated room, in essence becoming a passive solar collector. Thus it provides a thermal barrier between the heated room and cold window surface.

With the shiny surface facing in, it radiates the heat back into the living space.

Looking out through the InF’lector Interior Window Insulators in the winter configuration

The Outside Window Glass Temperature was 16.3 degrees and 18.7 degrees

While 13 degrees outside on the windows above The R22 Insulated Wall temperature (Spot 1) was 67.3 degrees and the InF’lector Insulator temperature (Spot 2) was 64.4 degrees.

The Inflector Solar Window Panel

• Stabilizes inside temperatures, which improves overall comfort and reduces heating/cooling costs.
• Reduces solar and reflective glare & blocks up to 90% of harmful UV rays.
• See through material keeps rooms bright by allowing natural light inside.
• Inflector will improve the energy performance of a single pane window by over 70%!
• Inflector will improve the energy performance of a double or insulated glass window by over 40%!!

Inflector Saves on your energy costs and works for you all year.

INFLECTOR WINDOW TYPES AVAILABLE:

PANELS: Are for individual window openings and may be manufactured in either steel or aluminum. With steel, they can be installed magnetically. With aluminum, they are installed using spring clip systems. Both are easy to install or remove from windows.

SHADES: These are manufactured similar to a regular shade and may be installed with side channels for air sealing if required.

• Verticals – made with 3.5” inflector strips & may be configured with many options, including valances
• Horizontals – made with longer strips and can be configured several ways to open and close
• Roller – Easily rolls up and out of the way of the window opening

CUSTOM MADE: These are manufactured for trapezoid and other odd shaped windows or skylights

Since Inflector is a SEE THROUGH product, they can remain attached all year!
