Q: How Do Window Films Work?

The films are manufactured using a sputtering process, which applies metal alloys to the base film. The finished product is a laminate of polyester and metallized coatings bound by adhesives. Most of the sun's heat is transmitted in form of invisible infrared and ultraviolet radiation. The films are able to isolate and reject heat in these energy bands, while allowing visible light to pass through. The visual effect is soft-glare-corrected and color neutral. By applying the micro-thin film to the inside of glass windows and doors, the product can cut from 9 to 93 percent of the incoming light, eliminate up to 99 percent of harmful ultraviolet radiation to protect fabrics and finishes, and cut up to 76 percent of solar heat gain through the glass.

Q: Do Window Films Affect Temperatures In Winter As Well As Summer?

A: Window films can reduce the amount of solar heat gain entering through the windows, which can be beneficial to summer cooling costs. They can also increase the ability of the window to transmit heat through conductance, helping with winter heating costs.

Q: Does The Window Film Bubble Up After Time?

A: No, we use only use the highest quality films and fit them professionally. The adhesives are specially designed to withstand extreme temperatures. Bubbles appear from poorer quality film adhesives breaking down.

Q: What Do I Clean My Windows With?

A: Any glass cleaner as long as it doesn’t contain ammonia.

Q: How Long Do The Window Films Last?

A: Our installations are backed by a 10 year factory warranty.

Q: Will Window Film Help With Air Conditioning Bills?

A: Yes. Window film is the fastest payback of any building product you can put in a house or building, providing you have windows. Window film can cut out up to two thirds of the heat load of your air conditioner, thus cutting down on the run time, the amount of heat that has to be overcome, reduces utility bills and adds years to the life of your air conditioner.

Q: Do You Offer A Guarantee With Your Work?

A: Yes, we guarantee the film for 10 years in home and business installations against any material defect.

Q: Will Window Film Help In Preventing Fading?

A: Yes. Window film blocks out ultra violet rays, visible light and heat. It virtually eliminates all fading. There are many different factors involved in fading. The main reason is ultra-violet rays. Other factors include visible light, heat, natural aging, interior lighting and more. Because of all these factors no one can technically guarantee "no fading." But a quality window film will stop 99% of ultra-violet rays and a large portion of visible light and heat depending upon which film you choose. But regardless, 99% of U.V. will be eliminated. But after tinting many homes, businesses and vehicles, we have had no complaints about fading of furnishings. Window film is the only way to accomplish this and still retain visibility through your windows.

Q: How Do Security Films Work?

A: Security films work in the same manner as conventional window films work, except they are much thicker. When glass without film is broken it has no support and can fall completely out. This is a major fault as far as security and safety. When any window film is applied, it bonds to windows and prevents it from separating easily. Depending upon the severity of the problem, window film comes in various thicknesses. Window security films can either eliminate entry or considerably slow intruders down so police response from alarms can work. Without window films, an intruder can break and enter through a window, grab a computer and be out the window in 15-seconds. This renders sophisticated alarm systems useless. Security film can be purchased clear or with the added benefits of heat and visible light reductions just as conventional films. While solving your security problems, you can eliminate other problems at the same time.
