1. Control solar heat - lower A/C costs: High air conditioning bills in South Texas are primarily caused by the sun’s infrared heat entering through windows and glass doors. Solar control window film, also known as window tint, blocks up to 78% of solar heat, making it easier for your air conditioner to do it’s job and paying for itself in saved energy costs.

2. Reduce glare: Sunshine is beautiful, but too much can cause eyestrain and headaches. Glare from the sun makes it hard to see computer screens and TV’s. When sun glare is reduced with Sunshade window film, colors become brighter and more vivid. Our window films reduce glare from 22% to 83% so you can decide which level of glare reduction best suits your needs. Removing excess glare will improve your view and, because most residential window films are light in density, they will not noticeably darken a room.

3. Minimize ultraviolet sun damage: The main cause of skin cancer and fabric damage such as fading, rotting and color change is the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Destructive UV rays can ruin wood floors and furniture as well as valuable art and antiques. Heat and visible light also play a major role in the fading process. Window film will eliminate 99% of ultraviolet rays, reduce heat by as much as 78% and decrease visible light by as much as 85%, increasing the life expectancy of your furnishings.

Even if you already have curtains, blinds, or shades, you still need window film. Without solar film protection from damaging UV rays and infrared heat, your expensive window treatments will deteriorate much more quickly.

4. Provide safety and security: The weakest link in any construction is the glass. Adding window film makes glass considerably stronger. Treated glass can still break, but the shattered glass remains in the frame. Accidents, baseballs, violent weather, vandalism and burglars are all common causes of broken glass. When a window is struck, Sunshade film can prevent serious injury by holding potentially lethal shards of shattered glass together. It also deters theft by adding security and privacy. If your home is on a golf course or located near public access, some films will allow that one-way mirror effect. During daylight hours, people outside can’t see in, but at night with lights on, they can.

5. Improve outside appearance: Each Sunshade window film has it’s own distinct outside appearance and performs well. Some films have a subtle reflective look and others are barely detectable, complying with neighborhood codes. The choice is determined by the benefits the home or business owner is looking for. The more reflective in appearance, the more heat rejecting capabilities the film will have. Do not be misled into thinking films with metal have that aluminum foil look. There is a big difference between hi-performance, highly reflective film used in a commercial building and films used for a home. Residential window films are available in esthetically pleasing, neutral colors making windows look clean, and crisp.

6. Increase comfort: Creating cooler interiors with less bothersome glare and irritating UV radiation makes for happier, relaxed homeowners and more productive employees. With high performance film, reports of a 12 degree difference are not uncommon. Generally, a temperature difference of 4% to 7% can be expected. Of course, the more glass with sunny exposure, the more difference solar film will make.
