Commercial Products
The following products are an integral part of the retrofitting service provided by Energy and Water Solutions Pty Ltd for homes and businesses:
QuickSilver Reflectors
It is possible to provide improved lighting control and uniformity and a higher level of lighting while removing up to 50% of lamps, cutting operating and maintenance costs in half. In addition to the cost benefits of fewer lamps, Silver Lamps decrease the cost of air-conditioning because the heat of the room is decreased. Thus QuickSilver Reflectors can provide an improved working environment whilst dramatically reducing maintenance and operating costs.
Air-Cell Insulation
Specified for its fibre-free, non-allergenic & non-irritant rating in addition to its advanced thermal performance. AIR-CELL RETROSHIELD in commercial and domestic applications achieves thermal performance comparable with up to 120mm of conventional mass/fibre insulation, offering three way protection against conductive, convective and radiant heat flow. Rated R3.6
Reflect Insulating Coating
Reflect is a flexible, extremely durable acrylic coating which provides a surface that is resistant to radiated heat penetration. Reflect can be applied internally or externally to all building design and construction shapes providing substantial energy savings.
It has excellent insulating properties and can reduce internal temperatures by up to 12 degrees C. Consequently, air-conditioning costs can be reduced substantially. Reflect is toxic free and offers long term protection, as it is waterproof, moisture and moisture-vapour proof and resistant to ultra-violet rays.
Energy Saving
Skylights, solar hot water systems and heat pump hot water systems, all of which help reduce operating and maintenance costs while reducing greenhouse gases.
