Install UV Protection Film & Get an Ultimate UV Shield

The benefits of a sun blocking window film

The main problem with windows is that 83% of the sun’s energy is transmitted through glass, and out of this sunlight 86% becomes heat. Tinting films on your home or office will help you with: 

• Reduced heat
• Reduced glare
• Reduced UV rays that are harmful for your health and also damaging for the furniture
• Increased privacy
• Increased visual appeal
• Reduced electricity bills

7 questions to ask yourself before choosing a sun blocking window film

Window films come in a variety of patterns and colors, so you will definitely find one that suits your needs. The final price depends on the size of your windows and how much material is needed to cover them completely. Before inviting a specialist over for the installation, ask yourself these questions: 

1. How much heat do you want to block depending on how hot the home interior gets?
2. Do you want to block heat and light too, or just the heat? Depending on this, you will choose a lighter or a darker shade for the film;
3. Do you also want more privacy? In this case you will choose a reflective film;
4. Which areas of the building need the most protection? Do you need to install films on all of the windows of your home or office, or just on some that are the most exposed?
5. Do not forget about the skylights, as they always have sunlight hitting them and may be the main cause of a warm interior;
6. Are you able to apply the film perfectly or would you rather leave this to a professional?
7. Look for films that have warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking or fading. The ones that we use have lifetime warranty.
