Window film
benefits
- The use of
window film, generally placed on the inside of windows, produces
a wide range of important benefits.
- Reduce solar
heat in the space 50% to 80% depending on the window film;
- Add comfort
- typically 4 to 10 degrees F reduction in the space;
- Reduce energy
costs up to $2.00 sq. ft. of window film installed;
- Reduce air
conditioning maintenance requirements;
- Extend air
conditioning equipment life;
- Reduce fading
of carpeting/furnishings by virtually eliminating U.V. Rays.
Dark tinted
or reflective window films
The typical
window film choices in the past, while very effective at reducing
heat into the space, were limited to dark tinted or reflective/mirrored
film. These films changed building appearance, restricted light
into the space; and reduced the quality of view for building occupants.
Visually
clear window films
The latest generation
of visually clear film does not change building appearance. It can
block approximately 50% of the solar heat, reduce room temperature
4 to 6 degrees F. and eliminate 99% of U.V. rays. It is generally
not noticeable from inside or outside the space and there is no
appearance that anything has been placed on the windows. This type
film is particularly useful for a building that has a problem area
with solar heat and wishes to use window film in only a limited
area(s) of a building. A dark tint film could not be used, since
it would change the appearance of the building in the area installed.
The clear film, not being detectably, enables a building to use
the film where it is needed without having to use film on the entire
building, or accepting a likely unsightly change of appearance of
the building.
Graffiti
protection window film
The use of this
film protects windows from paint, scratches, marking and even acid-etching.
When vandalized, the film is easily removed and replaced.
Security
film
A heavier grade
of window film, which can be visually clear, can protect windows
from being smashed and enabling entry from intruders. With security
film, the glass will not shatter. The film will hold the glass together
and deny entry to the intruder.
