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.

Testing by SGS Australia to International standards confirm that Cosy 24/7 does not emit any harmful emissions (Volatile Organic Compounds) once completely dried.

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.

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.
