OVERVIEW of Acrylite® Heatstop Acrylic |
Acrylite® Heatstop acrylic is an IR-reflecting sheet that reflects a large portion of incident solar radiation to limit the amount of heat entering a building while allowing an abundance of natural sunlight. This characteristic helps reduce energy consumption and makes Acrylite® Heatstop sheet a product that is well suited for "green" buildings.
By using Acrylite® Heatstop sheet in place of traditional acrylic glazing materials, average annual air conditioning costs can be lowered by as much as 33 percent. At the same time, Acrylite® Heatstop sheet allows natural sunlight to illuminate interiors, reducing dependence on electrical lighting. This makes it ideal for rooftop glazing applications in warehouses, grocery stores, and other large commercial spaces, particularly in warmer southern climates.
