- Easy to apply yourself using our recommended tools
Not suitable for interior installation on Low-E glass due to the risk of thermal breakage- Not suitable for textured glass, such as patterned or wired glass
Description EC250
Short description
Would you like to improve the indoor climate in your home or office building? Then insulating window film is the ideal solution. The EC250 significantly enhances the insulation performance of your glazing. This ensures that the heat you generate, for example with your central heating system, is better retained inside the room. With single glazing or older double glazing, a large portion of the heat escapes through the glass surfaces. The EC250 insulating film is a cost-effective alternative to completely replacing your windows with modern double or Low-E glazing.
Results
The EC250 reduces heat loss through the glass surface by 27% (laboratory tested on single glazing). It has a U-value of 4.2. The EC250 reflects infrared radiation (heat radiation from radiators, underfloor heating, etc.), allowing the generated heat to remain in the room rather than escaping unused through the glass. The effect of the EC250 is based on the reflection of infrared radiation.
Application
The EC250 is frequently used in residential and office buildings. The window film has a very light tint on both the interior and exterior sides. This makes the EC250 highly versatile, as it does not alter the appearance of the building. Another advantage is that the film blocks 99% of harmful UV radiation, helping to prevent the fading of your interior furnishings. The EC250 is a very lightly tinted insulating film. The benefit of this is that it is barely visible on the glass. The view to the outside remains completely unobstructed. In addition, the EC250 insulating film is also suitable for use on listed buildings.
Saving on energy costs-
The EC250 helps you save on energy costs. This insulating window film ensures that the infrared heat generated, for example by radiators or stoves, does not escape through the glass surfaces but largely remains in the room. As a result, you need to heat less to maintain a consistent indoor temperature, leading to a noticeable reduction in your energy bill. In this way, the investment in the EC250 pays for itself over time.
Order EC250 window film cut-to-size, in a standard size or as a full roll
Various options
Thanks to our unique cut-to-size module, you can order EC250 blackout film cut-to-size. You will find that option under the tab 'Cut-to-size'. You can order EC250 to your exact measurements, down to the last millimetre. However, if you prefer to order EC250 in a standard size, you will find the options under the tab 'Standard size'. If you are working on a large project and would like to order a whole role of EC250 film, go to the tab 'Full roll'. The tabs are on this product page.
Application
Preparation
Before applying the EC250, you must carry out the necessary preparations. The glass should be thoroughly cleaned using SCALASOL® TO-PREPARE and the SCALASOL® glass scraper.
Application on the inside of the glass
The EC250 is applied to the interior side of the window. It is suitable for all types of flat glass, except laminated safety glass, Low-E glass, and triple glazing.

* The light measurements (VLT & VLR) were performed using laboratory equipment and are based on monochromatic light. However, it is important to emphasise that these results should be interpreted differently in practical use. Therefore, below we provide a realistic indication of light transmission in practical applications on a bright, sunlit summer day.
