ABOUT WINDOW TINT

Winter heat loss through windows can cause discomfort to building occupants and unnecessarily high energy bills. Low emissivity insulating window film applied to the inside face of ordinary single-glazed windows decreases heat loss by up to 30%. In summer window film can reduce the cost of cooling a building by rejecting up to 79% of the sun's heat.

Over time, the rays of the sun fade whatever is in their path. But professionally installed window film blocks out 99% of the damaging ultraviolet rays that ordinary windows allow in. That means that draperies, furniture, upholstery and carpeting will last longer.
