Reflecting on S-cool Benefits

Being located in a tropical zone, buildings in Cambodia naturally face hot weather which results in warmer temperatures inside.

With an average temperature of over 35 degrees during the day rising up to 40 degrees or more during the hottest months, people spend an enormous amount on cooling machines and devices to create a comfortable environment inside buildings. To counter this, governments in most developed nations offer tax incentives to property developers to apply green technology products to minimise negative environmental impacts.

Cooling Marketing and Trade, known as S-Cool, have joined the global green campaign by introducing solar and security window control film, categorised as a green product, for property buildings and cars in Cambodia.

After applying the film to the glass windows or walls of buildings or cars it’s advanced nanotechnology gives it the capability to reflect 99 percent of Ultra-violet (UV) Rays, from 60 percent to 99 percent of Infrared Rays and from 0 to 65 percent of Visible Light Transmission. The film is specifically designed for automobile windows as well as residential and commercial buildings.

By installing the film on buildings or cars, owners will see a long term return on their investment as the film provides a safe and healthy lifestyle by shielding harmful rays and heat from the sun and protecting them against skin cancer, early aging, and eye problems. In addition, the interior facilities and equipment inside the buildings and cars are fully protected from early discoloring and cracking.

Building windows can be easily damaged by accidents, forces of nature, or human threats that can instantly turn a pane of glass into dangerous shards, Mr. Saing Dararith, S-Cool Managing Director, explained that thicker protective safety films can provide an extra level of protection in case of breakage and increased security for property inside buildings and cars against smash-and-grab robberies.

“This heat rejection feature prolongs the lifespan of air-conditioners and reduces the maintenance cost for buildings and the cars,’ he said. “Getting protection from solar heat is vital for humans. Due to global warming and the thinning ozone layer, such exposure can’t be ignored.”

“…With our window film, users in Cambodia can consume energy more efficiently and intelligently,” he said, adding that, “Smart building owners will understand that this window film can help reduce power consumption and that it is not an expense but an investment.”

However, he stressed that the film also significantly helps drivers who apply it on their car windows. Whether caused by sunshine, headlights or reflection from snow, water, or surrounding buildings, glare is not only annoying but can also be dangerous if it blinds a driver’s vision. “Like sunglasses, window film does an excellent job to cut glare, leading to a better driving experience and improved road safety for yourself and others,” Mr. Dararith explained.

Established in 2007, S-Cool’s notable clientele includes corporations and government bodies such as ANZ Royal Bank, ACLEDA Bank, UNDP, the National Assembly Building, CTN and PPML, to name just a few.
