Nanosheild????

[Grumpy John]

Funny thing. I've been looking for Nanoshield here using Google. About all I get are smartphone protectors, screen protectors and spray on products like Rain-X. Then there are links to Australian products that claim thermal advantages.

DUNNO

I'm skeptical.

Rich, the link to the product is in post #6.

Thanks John,
Interesting. I tried that but I was looking for a link to sites in the US. The stuff is exceptionally interesting as I have 4 windows (2 wrong hemisphere south) and one each east and west that I would like to cover. All of the links for cosy 24/7 refer me back to Australia sites.

It was mostly a curiosity thing for cost. The fact that I can't get any sites here in the US tends me to believe that the Environmental Protection Agency has blocked the product here in the US. I'll try an E-Mail to the OZ company.

If you mean something like this, we've thought about it.

Fixed shades are what I have in mind. I haven't looked at the technicalities of it but my son's school had the problem and someone calculated the angle of the sun which varies with location so the sun enters at low angles (winter) and the higher it gets towards summer the more the slats block the sun from directly hitting the window.

Have a look through the links on this page https://www.google.com.au/search?cli...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

The product we are looking at is paint on NOT film.

After paint dries it leaves behind ... a film.
Pre-made film tends to be of uniform thickness which has benefits but also limitations with shapes and size.
I'd be very surprised if the technologies involved are wildly different.

The quote for film came in at $3245, for the exact same coverage. The thermal and UV properties were no better and the visible light figures were worse by at least 10%.
I think we"ll go with the nanosheild.

Sounds like a plan!
Let is know how it works.

Will do, it's getting installed this Wednesday 5th. Sept.

If it really is "nano" shield you won't be able to tell if it's been done or not.......

Many nanos....

Very impressed with this company, the guys turned up right on time and set up their gear very quickly and got stuck in to it.
The coating has been on just under a week and we can definitely tell the difference. Before when we had a sunny day the floor where the sunlight fell would get quite warm to the touch, now it is noticeably cooler. It also feels cooler standing in front of the window. We had the kitchen window and sliding door done even though it faces east it does get quite a bit of early morning sun, particularly in the summer and it can get quite hot standing at the sink. the third bedroom/study faces the same direction and was not done. There ise a noticeable difference when you put your hand about 50mm from the glass, the kitchen is much cooler than the bedroom.
The only negative thing was the smell of the chemical being used, had to sleep in the spare bedroom the first night.

Polishing the glass with aluminium paste before applying the nanosheild coating.
