Can you elaborate on the window films solutions offered by the company?
Cosmo Sunshield specializes in offering premium window films that offer thermal comfort, security, UV protection, privacy, and aesthetic enhancement. Our products are best suited for architectural and automotive applications. We work to save energy and protect people from the damaging rays of the sun.
Solar control window film is one of our main products that may be used on the outside or inside of windows to reduce the amount of direct sunlight that enters buildings. These films are crucial because they help in reducing the amount of IR rays from passing through and hence maintaining thermal comfort and glare reduction, reducing the dependency on air conditioning and hence lower electricity bills by up to 10%. The films also filter out UV rays that can cause long-term damage to the skin and interior materials like flooring, furniture, and other surfaces.
How are these solutions becoming important in the current scenario of global warming and extreme weather conditions?
With the current state of global warming and extreme weather, window films have become an essential solution for a number of compelling reasons. They improve buildings' overall energy performance by lowering summertime heat gain and limiting wintertime heat loss. This is how they first augment energy efficiency. As a barrier and way to lessen the effects of inclement weather, safety window films offer an extra degree of security against burglars, vandalism, and mishaps.
Moreover, Cosmo Sunshield window films block up to 80% of the heat from passing through the windows. Additionally, these films are essential for UV protection because they can block up to 99% of UV rays that can cause damage and fading to furniture and interior items. One can easily make over their interior with quick shifting from one shade to another (by easy removal of old Sunshield film and replacing it with different coloured one). To sum up, window films offer an easy, affordable, and sustainable way to improve a building's energy efficiency, safety, and comfort, making them essential instruments for tackling the problems caused by climate change and harsh weather.
How do your window films solutions bring in more sustainability in buildings and interiors?
Sustainability is key to our mission at Cosmo Sunshield. With advanced nanotechnology and a wafer-thin 0.058 mm design, they reject up to 97% of solar infrared and reduce heat by 80%. This leads to lower energy consumption, decreased CO2 emissions, and improved occupant comfort.
By minimizing solar heat absorption, our energy-efficient window films lessen the need for air conditioning and preserve important energy resources. Selecting our eco-friendly options will safeguard your area from damaging solar radiation and is a major step towards creating a more environmentally friendly future.

How is the demand picking up for such heat control and protection solutions?
An increase in demand for energy-efficient solutions, such as those for a building’s heating and cooling, is driving the window film market in India. This demand can be attributed to the growing global population, the rise in disposable income and in moving towards a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. There is a huge demand in cities where temperature sores up to 45 degrees Celsius in states like, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Delhi NCR etc. The application of window films helps retain heat in the winter and cool in the summer, lowering energy costs and expenses. Furthermore, rising government investments in green construction projects are expected to boost industry growth. Cosmo Sunshield aims to capitalise on these catalysts to provide customised solutions for various requirements of the customers.
What kind of demand push are you expecting for your solutions in future? What are your expansion plans?
With the launch of Cosmo Sunshield, we find ourselves entering a market ripe with opportunities. The window films market is poised for remarkable growth, with a projected CAGR of 6.20% between 2024 and 2032.
