Why Solar Gard Window Film?

25% Lower Cooling Costs

What Is An EPD?

The Only method commonly acknowledged to compare the environmental performance of products, systems, and buildings! The EPD is based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the cradle-to-grave impacts of Solar Gard’s products following the relevant international standards (ISO 14044 and ISO 14025) and have been third-party verified against the Product Category Rules (PCR) under program operator Smart EPD.

Similar to a food label, an EPD provides a user with information on the environmental impacts and benefits of products.

Product Life Cycle

Product Stage, A1-A3

Solar Gard verified EPD covers all stages except: USE (B1-B7). RECYCLING (D). The life cycle stages of a product are the consecutive and interlinked steps from the acquisition of raw materials to the final disposal. In an EPD, the life cycle stages of a product are called modules and are identified with codes (A1, A2… D).The modules can be gathered in groups (A1-A3, A4-A5, B1-B7, C1-C4, and D).
