Did you know that there is a cheap way to save money in your energy bill and in the mean time protect your furniture and floors from the harmful UV rays?

Well, yes there is indeed, you just need to tint your house windows. With a simple process that is clean and is installed in seconds you get:

  • Fade protection from the sun.
  • Superior Heat Rejection (which means lower electricity bills).

Below is a short list of the mayor benefits that you get from tinting your windows (or more professionally applying window films):

  • Enjoy clear views, day or night
  • Protect skin and furnishings from damaging UV rays
  • Reduce heat and glare
  • Preserve a room's warmth and natural beauty
  • Avoid heavy window coverings

Don't allow your valuable furnishings, paintings, rugs, pictures, wallpaper, and fabric or wood floorings to be damaged by the sun. Window films blocks up to 99% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Interior designers have been recommending window films for years to protect their client’s investments and their professional reputations. Enjoy your view, dramatically cut your energy costs and protect your valuable furnishings against fading all at the same time with window films.

Today, window films are available in a wide range to complement your home; from virtually clear, medium, to dark. Is better to hire a professional to help you determine which shade might best suit your needs.

Window Films are designed to reduce the effects of solar heat and visible light on your furnishings and will block up to 99.9% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, which are the single largest cause of fading.

While no film can stop fading completely (the only way to do so is to live in a house with no windows :) today's window films dramatically slow the process of fading to keep your home, floors and furniture looking beautiful for much longer.

In the past, one of the major drawbacks of window films is that they tend to act like mirrors. Making it difficult to see outside, especially at night when interior lights are on and in the daytime, with traditional films, the outside reflection tends to give a home the look of a commercial building.

But technology changes, and as you will not be buying a computer for the 90's is better to see what today's window films offer us. So when you choose the type of film you want to use, is much better to go fo the most modern types of films, like 3M Prestige Series or 3M Fasara Films if you want to add a more decorative film.

For most of us, the regular 'Joe the Plumber' homeowner, there are two primary reasons for installing window films: rejecting heat to increase comfort and fade protection from damaging UV rays for furnishings. 3M Window Films do both remarkable well. 3M Prestige Series spectrally-selective films reject up to 97% of the sun's infrared light to help keep your home cool and lower your energy bills.
