Product

What is Cosy 24/7?

Cosy 24/7 is an energy efficient nanotechnology window coating that adds a tough, long-lasting shield against the sun’s heat and harmful UV rays while still letting in plenty of natural light. In Winter, Cosy 24/7 will suppress condensation and reduce the convective heat transfer from your indoors to the glass surface.

Is Cosy 24/7 safe?

Cosy 24/7 does not contain any of the 6 restricted substances listed in the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) EU Directive. Like most oil based paints it is flammable in its liquid form, however once it has fully dried, Cosy 24/7 is no longer flammable. Testing by SGS Australia to International standards confirm that Cosy 24/7 does not emit any harmful emissions (Volatile Organic Compounds) once completely dried.

Does Cosy 24/7 have an odour?

Cosy 24/7 will emit an odour which is similar to ethanol based hand-sanitisers while it is being applied. This smell will dissipate almost completely after a few hours.

How much does Cosy 24/7 cost?

A standard installation of 10 square meters of windows with aluminium frames cost approximately $1,200. This includes the added value of having the glass surfaces being coated cleaned and polished. Our friendly team will provide you with a comprehensive fixed price obligation free quote. Our cost includes supply, installation and clean-up. And remember, Cosy 24/7 starts to recover its installation cost immediately.

Process

How is Cosy 24/7 applied?

We do all work on-site with your existing windows in place. Cosy 24/7 is applied in liquid form with a special paint roller, directly onto the glass surface – usually on the inside. We clean and prepare the glass thoroughly. Then we mix and apply the coating. The final step is drying and airing.

How long does Cosy 24/7 take to install?

Our experienced team can complete up to 20 square metres per day per technician.

How long does Cosy 24/7 take to dry?

The surface will be “touch” dry in 1-2 hours and completely cured (hardened) in 1 week. Windows can be opened after Cosy 24/7 is touch-dry. Estimates are based on room temperature of 21 degrees Celsius.

What kind of access do you need?

Cosy 24/7 is usually applied to the internal glass surface. So we need access inside the building and a clear work space in front of all windows of 1.0 meters. Window furnishings which impedes access blinds and fly screens should be removed the day before our installation technicians arrives.

Can Cosy 24/7 be installed on hot days?

Cosy 24/7 can be applied when the relative humidity indoors is less than 70% and the glass surface temperature is less than 35 degrees Celsius. Our team can help you choose the best time for installation to take place.

Can you apply Cosy 24/7 to my car?

No, we don’t apply Cosy 24/7 to cars.

Results

NanoShield Performance Data Information

Will NanoShield Cosy 24/7 Suppress Condensation?

In winter, NanoShield treated windows will reduce condensation completely during milder nights or form a light misty FilmWise Condensation on very cold nights which will reduce convective heat transfer from your room to the glass surface.

Will I lose any natural light?

Cosy24/7 dries to a clear finish with a Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of more than 78% when applied to standard 3mm glass. Uncoated glass has a VLT of 87%. There is no distortion.

How thick is the Cosy 24/7 coating?

Cosy 24/7 forms a very thin layer of only 8 to 10 microns, approximately a hundred times less than a millimetre.

How hard is the Cosy 24/7 coating?

When cured, Cosy 24/7 has a rating of 4H pencil hardness in comparison to glass which has a rating of 6H pencil hardness.

What temperatures can Cosy 24/7 tolerate?

During testing, Cosy 24/7 withstood temperatures from -18 degrees Celsius to 90 degrees Celsius. It is unlikely that Cosy 24/7 will be subjected to temperatures beyond these limits in normal Australian conditions.

How long does Cosy 24/7 last?

Provided it has not been damaged by improper use or cleaning, Cosy 24/7 will last at least 10 years under normal conditions.

Is there a warranty?

We warrant that Cosy 24/7 will not discolour, peel, crack or bubble and will continue to perform for at least 10 years in normal conditions.

How do I clean my Cosy 24/7 coated windows?

When fully cured, Cosy 24/7 can be cleaned using a soft cloth and diluted PH neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents containing harsh chemicals such as solvents, citrus oil, ammonia or bleach.

We recently had Ray and the team from NanoShield come and apply their product to our windows (Facing East & West) in our lounge and dining areas. We did not get this product for privacy - it's not a tint -it's clear - we got this for UV protection of furniture and artwork and photos. It also has the added benefit of thermal protection for keeping heat in in Winter, and heat out in Summer. From start to finish the service was prompt, friendly & efficient. All information given was excellent, and the service people installing were on time, clean, and a pleasure to deal with. If you are an artist, photographer, or gallery - what a great way to add UV protection to your artwork whilst still allowing in light. Highly Recommend - Cheers Danielle & Phil

I got Nanoshield on the promise that it would block UV and prevent my furniture bleaching. Specifically the website says: "it also prevents UV bleaching to your home's most valuable items including furniture, heirlooms, artwork, photos, carpets, curtains, woodwork, books and so much more". Unfortunately, in the year and a half since I got Nanoshield, my sofa, carpets and cushions have faded badly. I have had the Nanoshield team out twice to check (and they did come promptly), but they just tell me that their meter shows complete UV blocking and the fading must be caused by something else. On the other hand, the sofa company have told me that the fading is due to UV light. Clearly, they can't both be right. But with no way to prove this one way or the other, I am left to carry the cost.

Had the guys out first day out of lock down they installed nano shield on all the windows on my house. I got nano shield mainly to block UV from my east facing home office. First impressions are good I don't feel like I'm being burnt every morning now. Technician was on time even took down and re put up my interior blinds. 5-stars I look forward to a cooler Summer, would recommend

I received a quote some time back after I enquired about tinting then got distracted, probably because summer turned into winter 🙂 Ray reached out to me to see if I were still interested and he called over today to test my windows As it turns out Rays equipment showed they were already well protected from UV and he was honest enough to say his product would improve it slightly but he felt it really wasn't worth the investment in this case. He then went on to explain some tips for me this summer to reduce my heat load. He's a very knowledgeable guy and I'm so impressed he wasn't just out for an order I cant recommend this company enough

Fantastic product and staff. Ray was very informative during our initial consultation, showing the products capacity to reflect uv/heat, and even provided some great advice to improve efficiencies elsewhere. After sales service has been above and beyond my expectations, with Nanoshield working exhaustively, overcoming environmental challenges to to get my job done perfectly. Thanks again to a great team Ray, Soe and Ken and your great product. APRIL 2021 Because the product worked so well, we recently engaged the use of the Nanoshield team again for last of the windows in our home to be coated. Though the job was small, the team were more than happy to help out. The installer Dong H was professional efficient, and very personable. Now that the coating has been applied for a few weeks, we are ecstatic to report that the issue of moisture building up on the windows overnight now no longer occurs. Thanks to all involved

Thank you very much to Ray and the team at Nanoshield. Was very impressed by the professionalism, enthusiasm and friendliness shown when completing the job. I have every confidence that the treatment will take the sting out of the sun!

Both directors, Ray and Ken are knowledgeable and professional people, who will not recommend their product if they think it will not benefit you. That is a refreshing approach in this day and age. Having elected to use their product, I was impressed with the time and effort that goes into the preparation. My apartment faces east and one of the small rooms is like an oven for 3-4 hours in the morning when the weather is hot. Based on a demonstration by Ray, I believe the temperature in that room will be a whole lot better now. It is important to understand this is not a tint. The product is all but invisible after application, and that makes it suitable for apartments where the body corporate will not allow tinting.
