Window films can elevate
the effectiveness of glass in your home. Window tint films can
reduce the amount of damaging rays that reach you through your
windows. You reduce your cooling costs and also increase safety
if glass is accidentally broken.
Heat Control Window Films
Polyester laminated films reflect the sun's near-infrared energy back through the window to help you stay cooler in summer. They also have a proprietary coating that reflects radiant interior heat back inside to help you stay warm in winter. Remember to have film applied to all the windows of an enclosed room to achieve optimum comfort and energy savings.
Security Film
There is a new dimension in window film technology for property and personal protection against crime, violent weather and accidents. Today, protecting yourself and your property is more important than ever.
There are new safety and security films, which are tough, durable, and create a tear and penetration-resistant shield that bonds to the inside of your windows for protection. The film helps hold the glass together to reduce the chance of glass shards from falling or flying out even under direct forces from winds, or impacts from flying objects, or breaking and entering.
