Window films have many benefits, depending on your choice of film.

 

For residences and buildings, tinted window films, also called solar control films, can do the following:

  • Significantly reduce solar heat gain (up to 86%) and temperature inside a building
  • Reduce air conditioning costs in summer and heating costs in winter
  • Extend the life of HVAC systems by reducing maintenance and strain on the system
  • Decrease a building’s environmental emissions
  • Increase occupant comfort
  • Reduce up to 95% of annoying glare to improve visibility inside, especially for computer and TV screens
  • Allows natural light in without the glare, reducing the need for artificial lighting
  • Provide daytime privacy
  • Block up to 99% of damaging UV radiation, protecting furniture, carpets, woodwork, and other interior furnishings from fading
  • Improve building aesthetics and accent windows
  • Increase shatter resistance
  • May help in attaining LEED credits towards certification

 

Automotive window films:

  • Improve personal safety by blocking up to 99% of harmful UV rays
  • Improve occupants’ comfort due to maximum heat and glare reduction
  • Offer extreme IR rejection—up to 92%
  • Reduce fading of interiors
  • Help hold shattered glass together in the event of an accident
  • Accent the look of automobiles

 

Safety & security films are comprised of thicker polyester and stronger, more assertive adhesives. They hold shattered glass in place to offer protection from threats like:

  • Burglary and vandalism attempts—the film’s thickness helps make treated glass harder to break or rupture
  • Graffiti—anti-graffiti film protects buildings from taggers and artists
  • Wind-borne debris
  • Natural disasters
  • Bomb blasts
