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, they are applied to the inner surfaces of windows, typically using a squeege, sponge, and razor blade.

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

Privacy films allow light through but reflect toward the outdoors to increase privacy. They block about 99% of ultraviolet (UV) rays that can fade floors and furnishings.

Glare reducing films, as their name implies, cut down on reflected light that causes glare.

Insulating films reflect sunlight (heat) and UV in the summertime, which reduces your home's heat gain. In doint so, they help to substantially lower your energy bills during summer months. In addition, they help reflect radiant heat back in toward your home's interior during cold winter months.
