In today’s energy conscious climate the choice of window film on either a building renovation or new construction is a low cost alternative to window replacement. On building retro fits, as long as the existing windows are structurally sound the addition of a professionally installed window film tends to match or exceed the energy efficiency of most modern windows.
Rather than undertaking the time consuming, expensive and often times invasive project of installing new windows, the application of window film can completely change the aesthetics of any buildings façade. While at the same time offering the occupants reduced glare and heat, reducing the load on the buildings HVAC system which results in monetary savings on cooling and heating costs.
Our Window Film products range from Safety and Security films (clear or with added solar control properties) which are designed to allow the windows to break but not shatter during a natural or unnatural disaster to reflective films like our NightScape, Scenic View or Architectural lines which can be used in some cases to increase privacy.
With all of the various window film types on the market today, research is important to find the product best suited for each buildings unique requirements. Professional window film installers can recommend the best film for your application, taking into consideration glass type, frame type and solar properties of each product, as well as perform a quality application once you have reached your final decision.
