Sun Protection in Paris
Here, the AX PLUS N 75 was installed on the popular Champs-Élysées shopping street. The nearly invisible film is perfect for storefronts that require sun protection but also need a clear view through the glass.
Sun-protective films
Today, large windows and glass surfaces are an indispensable part of modern architecture. However, large glass surfaces also cause interior spaces to heat up significantly when the sun is shining. BRUXSAFOL sun control films provide a solution to this problem.
G-Value Calculation!
Effective immediately, we can calculate for you how the properties of glazing change when film is applied. If you are interested, please contact our flat glass consultants.

Sun-protective window films? Here's why.
Are you a homeowner who wants to protect the environment and conserve precious resources? Then why not reduce your air conditioning usage with BRUXSAFOL sun-protection films? BRUXSAFOL films block heat radiation, helping to keep the room temperature more stable. This takes the strain off your air conditioner, reduces your energy costs and CO2 emissions, and thus helps both the environment and your wallet. With BRUXSAFOL films, you’ll stay cool even when it gets hot.
Did you know?
The two BRUXSAFOL sun protection films, AX Plus 20 and AX Plus 70, received a top rating of 2.2 from Stiftung Warentest.
Features of Our Sun-Control Films
Our sun-protective films effectively block heat and sunlight during the summer months, thereby regulating the indoor climate.
Solar control films reduce the amount of solar heat entering through the windows. This can help reduce the load on air conditioning systems. The extent of this reduction depends on the type of glazing, the orientation of the windows, and how the rooms are used. You can find a sample calculation of energy savings further down the page.
In addition, our products block more than 99 percent of harmful UV rays (measured at 300–380 nm), thereby providing additional protection for human skin and household furnishings.
Our window films can also be used as effective glare protection, whether in the office or in the kitchen.
In addition, our mirrored sun control films act as privacy screens, as the mirrored surface makes it harder to see inside your building during the day. In the video below, you can see how mirrored sun control films perform on days and at night.
Our films are perfect for retrofitting and can be removed or replaced at any time by professional staff.
The exterior appearance of historic buildings must not be altered. The LX-70 film is virtually invisible yet still provides excellent thermal insulation.
Our portfolio of sun protection films includes more than 30 different products. Whether for indoor or outdoor use, we have the right product for you.
Our client network has a strong presence throughout the German-speaking world. We would be happy to find a publisher near you who can provide personalized advice.
How much energy can you save with window tint?
With our energy-saving calculator, you can get an initial estimate in just a few minutes of the energy-saving potential that solar control films can offer for your building when used with standard electric air conditioning. Based on your building’s parameters—such as glazing, window areas, orientation, hours of use, electricity rates, and location—the tool calculates the potential impact on cooling energy demand. This gives you a clear overview of potential electricity cost savings and payback periods. The result slider allows you to customize the calculation to the specific characteristics of your building. If the slider is set to “favorable,” it takes into account conditions that are likely to increase the benefits of a sun-control film. This could include, for example, a high proportion of glass surfaces, strong solar radiation, or heavy use of the affected rooms. The “unfavorable” setting is suitable for buildings where solar radiation is already partially reduced or has only a limited impact on room temperature. If you do not identify any specific influencing factors, we recommend the “neutral” setting. This will provide you with a realistic and balanced initial assessment.
Ideal for:
- Office buildings
- Administrative buildings
- Schools and universities
- Healthcare facilities
- Hotels
- Commercial real estate
With just a few entries, you can determine whether installing window films is a cost-effective option for your property.
Fast. Simple. No-obligation.
The results are based on real-world climate data and recognized calculation methods; however, they cannot replace an individual building analysis. Use this calculation as an initial, well-founded basis for decision-making to estimate the energy-saving potential of solar control films for your building.

More InformationThe amount of privacy provided by a sun control film depends heavily on the lighting conditions. In the video, you can see how the AX PLUS 30 sun control film behaves during twilight, as night turns to day, under different lighting conditions.
Low-E Films (XE Series)
In winter:
The film keeps the heat inside, helping to lower heating costs.
In the summer:
The film’s high solar reflectance ensures lower temperatures during the summer months.
Save Energy with Low-E Films
Low-E XE-70 film is the most technologically advanced and effective energy-saving film in our product line.
The XE-70 film is virtually invisible on the window and preserves the room’s natural lighting conditions. This makes it ideal for use in historic buildings.
By retrofitting single- or double-pane windows with BRUXSAFOL’s Low-E films, it is possible to sustainably improve the indoor climate year-round—and in a far more sustainable way than by installing new energy-efficient glazing.
At the same time, Low-E films effectively block heat and sunlight during the summer months, thereby regulating the indoor climate.
In addition, our products block more than 99 percent of harmful UV rays, providing extra protection for human skin and household furnishings.
