Expert Advice for Home Improvement & DIY Repair
Window Film
Window film offers an inexpensive opportunity to create privacy, preserve your belongings, and lower your monthly utility bills. Designed for easy do-it-yourself application, it is applied to the inner surfaces of windows, typically using a squeege, sponge, and razor blade.

Several types of window film are available, including privacy film, glare-reducing film, and insulating film.

Privacy film allows light through but reflects toward the outdoors to increase privacy. It blocks about 99% of ultraviolet (UV) rays that can fade floors and furnishings.

Glare-reducing film, as the name implies, cuts down on reflected light that causes glare.

Insulating film reflects sunlight (heat) and UV rays in the summer, which reduces your home’s heat gain. In doing so, it helps to substantially lower your energy bills during summer months. In addition, it help reflect radiant heat back in toward your home’s interior during cold winter months.
