From commercial building facades and retail storefronts to modern architectural applications, CoolVu Window Films are some of the most functional and attractive options on the market today. Unlike static window film and tinting solutions, CoolVu Window Films are recognized by their ability to adapt to the intensity of sunlight, dynamically optimizing the indoor environment for energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
Engineered using proprietary photochromic technology, CoolVu Window Film activates from clear to tinted when exposed to sunlight. By adapting to the amount of sunlight exposure, CoolVu provides much needed sun control only when you really need it. In turn, you can enjoy 99% blockage of UV rays and up to 80% reduction in solar-induced heat increases without compromising the sun's natural light.
The CoolVu™ brand is available throughout the US and Canada from trained and certified franchisees by CoolVu, LLC.

          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly constructed and prepared.
          1.Examine glass surfaces to receive new film and verify that they are free from defects and imperfections, which will affect the final appearance. Correct all such deficiencies before starting the film application process.
 
          B.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
 
          B.Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
          1.The window and window framing will be cleaned thoroughly with a neutral cleaning solution. The inside surface of the window glass shall be scraped with a stainless steel razor blade with a clean, sharp edge to ensure the removal of any foreign contaminants without damage to the glass surface.
 
          3.3INSTALLATION
 
          A.Surface temperature: Do not apply glazing film when surface temperature is less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
 
          B.Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions approved submittals and in proper relationship with adjacent construction.
          1.To minimize waste, the film will need to be cut to specification utilizing a sharp razor blade neatly and square at a uniform distance of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of the window-sealing device.
          2.Film shall be wet applied using clean water and slip solution to facilitate positioning of the film onto the glass.
          3.To ensure efficient removal of excess water from the underside of the film and to maximize bonding of the pressure sensitive adhesive, a stiff polyurethane squeegee will be utilized.
          4.Upon completion, the film may have a dimpled appearance from residual moisture. Said moisture shall, under reasonable weather conditions, dry flat with no moisture dimples within a period of 60 days when viewed under normal viewing conditions.
 
          3.4CLEANING AND PROTECTION
 
          A.Clean products in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
          1.Wash film using common window cleaning solutions.
          2.Metallized constructions shall be cleaned with window cleaning solutions that are free of ammonia products.
          3.Abrasive type cleaning agents and bristle brushes, which could scratch the film, must not be used.
 
          B.Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
