While architects design the placement of windows to capture the surrounding environment, the sun can ruin the enjoyment of these landscape paintings. Glare and heat can stifle our enjoyment of the area, and the sun's harmful UV rays may fade and destroy not only fabrics, but wood surfaces and works of art as well.

 

The answer to the potentially harmful rays of the sun is in the proper installation of window films to protect interior environments. For sun and UV protection, we use only the best window films. These films block up to 99.9% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. They can also reduce up to 78% of the sun's heat, and can reduce heat loss in the winter by as much as 35%.

Why worry about UV? Of all of the causes of fading, Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is the single largest contributing factor in the fading of fabrics, carpets and other furnishings. Although visible light, artificial lighting, heat, humidity, age of fabrics and fabric dyes all play a part in the amount of fading, UV radiation is attributed with 40% of the damage. And since window film blocks up to 99.9% of this damaging radiation, by applying window film in your home you can significantly increase the life and beauty of your furnishings.

As an added bonus, window film also helps to hold glass together if it breaks. When glass with an application of window film is broken, instead of shattering into dangerous fragments, the glass is held together by the film, protecting you and your family from injury.

The application of window film can provide all of the following benefits:

  • Reduce Heat Gain

  • Reduce Fading

  • Reduce Glare

  • Provide Shatter Resistance

  • Create Privacy
     

Once window film is applied, it is virtually invisible. Your windows can be washed easily without harming the film.
