Save Energy and Money with Window Film

Green building and green remodels have become the new trend, providing money saving opportunities for homeowners and reducing America’s carbon footprint. One of the top ways you can prevent energy loss is by replacing your home’s windows, but there is another alternative to consider. Window film can provide you with many of the same benefits of replacing your windows and a few more.
Most window films have a standard 99% Ultra Violet protection, blocking all of the harmful rays from the sun. These UV rays can cause skin cancer and fade or even permanently damage expensive artwork, furniture and window treatments.
Window film has come a long way since its invention in 1966. There are now more choices than ever, and the benefits to the consumer grow with each technological breakthrough. There are three basic window film types: dye, metal, and ceramic. With these different window films you can find the right look and performance to best match your home inside and out.
Dye and metal window films provide privacy to keep what is going on in your home between you and your family and away from prying eyes. Ceramic window films block heat, but are light enough that they can be almost completely invisible from the inside and out—an amazing scientific breakthrough.
Metal and ceramic versions of safety window films can help prevent break-ins and help protect you and your loved ones from flying debris during violent storms and high winds.
Now for the real savings. Window film can reduce your electric bill by up to 30%! Environmental concerns play a big part in today’s home improvements, and some energy companies recognize the effectiveness of window films by currently offering rebates on qualifying products. Large commercial buildings are now turning to window film to help gain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifications and recognize that the right choice in window films truly is the most cost effective and energy efficient solution to a solar control problem.
