Saving Energy: Windows & Doors Tinted Film

To prevent south-facing windows from fading your furniture and increasing your energy bills, consider installing reflective window film, which will prevent fading and cut your air conditioning bills.

These window films are unlike ordinary window tinted films in that they have a metallic coating, which reflects up to 30 % of the suns heat away from the window. This means less heat enters the window during the summer, meaning your air conditioner doesnt have to work as hard to keep your home comfortable.

In addition to saving you money on your summer electricity bills, they also reduce the amount of UV light that enters your home, causing your furniture to face. This also reduces the amount of glare.

These reflective window films are scratch-resistant, with many having a lifespan of more than 20 years. In addition, many come with a limited warranty.

However, reflective window films can increase the temperature of the glass, which will create stress at the edges of the windowpane, which in older or lower grade windows can cause the glass to crack. To prevent this, you should have your window film dealer analyze your windows to determine if this type of film will work best for your home. In addition, many manufacturers do provide warranties against this type of damage. Therefore, before you purchase, make sure to query your dealer about any and all warranties and their limitations.

Although non-reflective tinted window film can be installed as a do-it-yourself project, it is best to have reflective sun control films professionally installed to ensure their maximum benefit and also to guarantees that the warranties will not be voided.
