Sun Control Films are designed to reduce the amount of solar heat transmission through window glass by both reflecting and absorbing energy from the sun.
Typical colored or dyed films work primarily through increased absorption. The color absorbs the solar energy at the glass, thus reducing the direct transmission into the room. These films only offer marginal performance when compared to reflective films.
Reflective films are films that have been precision coated with metals. These metallic films are designed to increase the solar energy reflection of the glass and some of the absorption. Reflective films range from moderate to excellent in solar performance (heat gain reduction).
Window Films Also block 98-99% of UV rays, the primary cause of fading. |

Why Is Window Film A Good Investment For Me? |
|
What is the Typical Energy Pay Back for Sun Control Window Films? |
|
Simple pay backs will vary depending upon the amount of sunlit glass exposure, the type of film, the type of glass, cost of fuel, cost of application, and other variables. However, we have seen pay backs often range in the 2-5 year period, with some reported to be even less than 6 months. |

How is the Window Film Applied? |
|
The first step is to prepare the window area for the application; placing drop cloths on the floor, protecting and/or moving furniture where necessary.
Next, the window glass is cleaned using a simple cleaning solution and razor blade scrapers. Then, the film is sprayed with a slip solution (detergent and water) for proper positioning, and applied to the window glass. Using a professional grade squeegee and following proper techniques, the application is completed by removing excess water, trimming the edges, and a final squeegee technique to dry the edges. |
