Beauty, safety, and protection. It’s amazing what a thin layer of film can do for your home. Homes in every climate benefit from the efficiency and comfort of window films. The benefits will last you all year long. Residential window film also reduces harmful ultraviolet, glare and increases privacy. It is actually the best thing you can do for your home.
Windows are a huge burden on comfort and efficiency. They can account for 70 percent of your cooling load and up to 40 percent of your heating load. Residential window film can make a big difference. In the summer, films filter up to 77 percent of the sun’s solar energy — reducing hot spots and solar heat streaming through the windows into your home. In the winter, films continue to perform by helping to reduce interior heat loss through the glass.
Residential films can provide maximum protection from fading without blocking your view. The sun can take a costly toll on your fabrics, furniture, rugs and art. Even without direct sunlight, ultraviolet can fade valuable furnishings because unprotected clear glass allows harmful and damaging ultraviolet to enter your home. Ultraviolet is a major contributor to costly fading. All our residential films reject about 98 percent of ultraviolet just like a sun screen for your home.
In addition to reducing the transmission of solar heat and ultraviolet, residential window film can also reduce annoying glare. Whether it’s the sun’s reflection off the swimming pool or a fresh blanket of snow, you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors more because drapes and blinds need not be drawn. Additionally, select films can provide an increased measure of privacy, so you can enjoy your view without feeling like you’re living in a fishbowl.
Commercial window films are the most cost-effective way to rejuvenate a property’s exterior appearance. They make building exteriors more attractive by eliminating visual clutter and giving them a uniform appearance. Commercial window films can easily be coordinated with the property’s interior or exterior for a more contemporary look. Even older properties take a dramatic leap forward in appearance with commercial window film.
Commercial window films help reduce energy bills by rejecting up to 77 percent of the suns total solar energy. In summer, or in year-round tropical climates, the film reduces the strain on HVAC chillers by blocking the sun’s heat. During the winter, films help insulate the glass. The result is reduced operating expenses. Less money is going to your energy providers and more goes to your bottom line.
The sun’s ultraviolet light causes draperies, carpets, and furnishings and other soft goods to fade. Commercial window films reject up to 98 percent of the sun’s harmful and damaging ultraviolet light, prolonging the life of your furnishings and soft goods. In addition, films help protect hotel guests from this health threat.
Commercial films provide the look of expensive tinted glass with added shatter resistance. Face it, accidents happen, but commercial films can reduce the risk of glass related injury. Although not rated as safety films, commercial films have a strong adhesive system that bonds the film to the glass. Glass with commercial window film becomes stronger and more shatter resistance. If an accident does happen, glass is more likely to stay in place reducing the chance of dangerous airborne shards.
Experts in the hospitality industry agree, comfortable guests are more likely to return. Commercial window film makes guests more comfortable by eliminating annoying “hot spots” in guest rooms and common gathering areas. Films also reduce glare and increase privacy. Guests are able to pull back the drapes and enjoy the view without giving up their privacy.
