To offset the solar heat passing through windows, the U.S. consumes the energy equivalent of millions of barrels of oil everyday. Whether for new construction or retrofit projects, the application of Solar Control Window Film is one of the most effective and economical methods of controlling this energy loss and increasing indoor comfort. Shutters are nice, but they hide the beauty of the view and darken a room when closed. Shades also block much of the outside view when in use. Draperies, while adding design appeal to the room, aren’t much help in controlling energy loss even when closed. Many different decorative Films alone offer protection from the many everyday elements while maintaining the full appeal of the unobstructed window or add privacy to any window. But also enhancing the appearance of the overall desired look. Make it fancy or give it a personal touch it’s entirely up to you. Ask our team of designers for more info.

Care and Maintenance: Once window film has been installed, it is very common to see a slight haziness and/or small water pockets. This is a normal part of the adhesive bonding process called “curing”. Depending on the film type and weather conditions, it may take up to 30 days for the film to be fully cured. The curing process is slow because the remaining water used in installation must evaporate through the film. Sputtered and heavy security films take the longest to dry and will take longer for any hazy appearance to disappear. Once the film is dry and cured, it is then safe for the film to be cleaned. The best cleaner is a simple solution of water and a small amount of soap. Clean the window and then squeegee dry with overlapping strokes in the same way you would clean the outside of your car windows. You may also clean the film surface with any normal strength glass cleaner. Products with ammonia will not damage the film if used in reasonable quantities and if the film is not left to soak in it. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, industrial strength glass cleaners and/or any other window cleaning tools that may scratch the window film. Remember, the surface of the film is coated with a scratch resistant not scratch proof coating.
