Figures are estimates based on typical Auckland conditions and the inputs above. Actual savings vary with building use, shading, occupancy and how the space is heated and cooled. Not a guarantee of performance.

How this works

Where the numbers come from

The model takes the solar energy that lands on vertical glass over an Auckland cooling season for the direction you chose, reduces it by how much your existing glass already blocks, then applies the film's measured total solar energy rejection (TSER, ISO 9050). What remains is heat your cooling no longer has to remove — converted to electricity through a typical heat-pump efficiency and priced at current NZ rates, with power prices escalating 3% a year.

Every Zivent architectural film — Balance, Sky and Dual Silver — blocks 99.9% of UV regardless of shade, and carries a 10-year warranty. Film is fitted on site by the branch nearest you; most homes are done in a day.
