Halcyon Shades: Radiant Barrier Solar Shades

Halcyon Shades is the market leader in radiant barrier window solar control window shades. Unlike ordinary window treatments, Halcyon Shades do not merely block light, they reflect heat-causing bandwidths before it ever has a chance to heat up interior spaces. Not only do interiors stay cool even the shade itself stays cool avoiding unwanted convection of heat into the room. Furthermore, during colder months when the heat source is inside the building, Halcyon Shades reflects furnace generated heat back into the building substantially increasing energy efficiency.

These unique shades are made of either a smooth finish or embossed (matte) finish metalized polyester, a film material originally developed by the space program that can:

• Reflect up to 80% of the solar heat
• Filter out 99% of damaging UV light
• Eliminate glare by 97%
• Conserve energy costs, winter and summer, by 15-25%
• Preserves 100% of the view to the outside

If your project calls for energy conservation, natural day-lighting, protection of flooring & furnishings while increasing overall occupancy comfort and productivity, than Halcyon Shades are perfect for you.

Our shades are 100% custom-tailored to fit any commercial or residential need. We offer a wide selection of textures, colors and materials and options, including high-end motorization and odd window configurations. We also provide full installation & maintenance service when required.

Benefits and Applications

Halcyon Shades have a wide-range of benefits that include:

• Year-round energy conservation
• Prolonged HVAC equipment life
• Carbon negativity
• Rapid ROI (typically less than 3 years)
• Easily serviced and maintained
• Sleek, modern designs or retrospective looks depending design selection
• Often the most effective and least expensive way to fight high thermal transfer through windows

Halcyon Shades can be retrofitted into any existing or integrated into new building design. Unlike low-E glass coatings that have a limited level of reflectivity, Halcyon Shades can reject up to 94% of the heat passing through glass. Up to 80% of this thermal rejection is done by our film's reflective layer of aluminum . The applications for Halcyon Shades are endless, but some of the more popular uses include:

• Thermal control of restaurants to keep patrons comfortable
• Thermal and UV control for hospitals while preserving the patient's view outdoors
• Thermal and UV control for museums to protect delicate artwork and exhibits
• Energy conservation programs for hotels, office and apartment buildings
• Energy conservation and UV control for schools
• Passive heat reduction for buildings under construction
• Smart shading systems for ultra-high energy efficient structures

Whenever heat needs to kept in or out of buildings, Halcyon Shades provide true radiant barrier protection that non-reflective woven shades, mini-blinds and cellular shades simply cannot match.
