Window Tinting

What is window film?

Window film is a polyester based film that is applied to flat glass or any type of glass surface. It is generally designed to reduce heat energy particularly, solar heat energy, as well as giving a building a certain type of aesthetic image. The materials used range from various components such as metals, ceramics, and different dyed materials. There are films designed for security protection from glass shattering, blast mitigation films to prevent collateral damage caused by flying glass debri, and decorative films designed to give glass a certain appeal or look in both commercial and residential applications.

How does it work?

Window films work by reflecting the solar energy away from the home or business. Some films have a reflective or shiny appearance and reflect visible light away. Other films work by reflecting Infrared light away. Infrared light is a nonvisible light that causes the majority of solar heat gain. These infrared reducing films block little visible light and add very little reflection to the windows keeping visibility as clear as possible.
