Women's Coalition Bldg- Christiansted St Croix, US
Virgin Islands
Click on image for larger file.
This is a new construction project. The roof was
already installed on top of the rafters. The TCM4-IR was then stapled to the
underside of the rafters using stainless steel staples. TCM4-IR is reinforced to
maintain stability for stapled installations. This project will include a trace
ceiling of finished wood for aesthetic value. The air pocket inside will be
analysed to determine if ventilation is necessary. This building will have
reduced air conditioning costs from the reduction of radiating heat. 98% of the
infrared radiation is rejected out of this roof system.
Homeowner Retrofit- Estate La Reine St
Croix, US Virgin Islands

This installation is on an existing home. The
homeowner was installing a new galvanised roof on top of the existing roof. The
existing roof consisted of rafters, plywood, and an elastomeric coating. The old
roof was very hot, had some leaks and was turning black from the elements. The
roof was power washed and cleaned thoroughly. Then the wooden purlins were
installed. Next the TCM4-IR was stapled to the existing purlins. And finally,
the Galvalume was screwed on top of the TCM and into the purlins. Even though
this customer has a green roof it will still reject 98% of the Infrared
Radiation, making it significantly cooler in the house.
Insulated Low E Windows- Estate Shoys, US
Virgin Island

This is a custom home in Estate Shoys St Croix
USVI. The home was built with Low E Insulated Glass windows. This means that it
has an "insulating" air pocket between two panes of glass and that one of the
panes also has a radiation reducing "Low E" coating. The customer still
complained about the heat penetrating the glass. We installed Huper Optik
Ceramic 50 Window Film rejecting 50% more of the Total Solar Heat penetrating
the glass. This installanalyzedalified for a Tax Rebate. Huper Optik also
maintains a Limited Lifetime Resdiantial Warranty for this
installation.

Virgin Islands

This installation is on the upper floor of an
office building with south,west and north facing windows. The windows are low E
treated but the customer still complains about the heat and glare penetrating
the office space. We installed Huper Optik Fusion 10 Window Film rejecting 77%
of the Total Solar Energy.

Virgin Islands

While renovating rooms, the Buccaneer Hotel
elected to install Huper Optik Ceramic 50 Window film on these Ocean View Rooms.
The installation is on laminated glass in wooden frames. Their goals are to
reduce the heat gain, glare and fading of furniture while maintaining there
breathe taking views for their guests. Also Huper Optik Ceramic will
not effect the wireless communications on the property, as metalized films
can. This installation rejects 50% of the total solar energy, 65% of the causes
of fading, 99.9% of the U/V and 45% of the glare. Even in
an ocean front environment Huper Optik Ceramic Window Film
is garaunteed for a minimum of 15 years for a commercial property by
the manufacturer.
