What exactly is window film, and how does it work?
Window film is a thin, multi-layered material applied directly to glass surfaces. It’s designed to block UV rays, reduce heat and glare, increase privacy, and enhance safety. Some films also offer decorative finishes or security reinforcement, depending on the application.
Why should I consider adding window film to my glass?
Window film offers a wide range of benefits, including UV protection, energy savings, glare reduction, and increased privacy or security. It’s a cost-effective way to improve the performance and comfort of your windows without replacing them.
How long can I expect window film to last once installed?
High-quality window films typically last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on the type of film, exposure to sunlight, and care. Many come with manufacturer warranties for long-term peace of mind.
Is the film installed on the inside or outside surface of the window?
Most residential and commercial films are applied to the interior side of the glass. Some specialty films, especially for commercial or multi-story buildings, may be installed on the exterior when necessary.
Can you install film on windows that are uniquely shaped or custom-sized?
Yes! Window film can be custom-cut to fit almost any window shape or size, including arches, circles, and other non-standard designs.
Do I still need window film if I already have blinds or curtains?
Yes — while blinds and curtains offer some protection, window film blocks UV rays, reduces heat buildup, and protects interiors even when your shades are open. It works 24/7 without obstructing your view or natural light.
Will this film help cut down glare on my TVs and monitors?
Absolutely. Window film significantly reduces glare from sunlight and reflections, making it easier to view screens without eye strain or distortion — whether you're working, relaxing, or watching TV.
Does window film help regulate indoor temperatures year-round?
Yes. Solar control films block heat in the summer and help retain warmth in the winter, making your indoor spaces more comfortable while reducing the load on your HVAC system.
What’s the proper way to clean windows that have film on them?
Clean window film using a soft cloth or sponge with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools like razor blades, which can scratch or damage the film.
What if the window gets broken—does the film need to be replaced?
If the glass is damaged, the film will likely need to be replaced as well. Our team can safely remove the old film and reapply new film once the window is repaired.
Will window film make my interior feel darker during the day?
Not necessarily. Many films are designed to preserve natural light while still blocking heat, UV rays, and glare. We offer a variety of options, including nearly invisible films, so you can choose the level of tint that suits your space.
