Window Film for Your Home
Window film can be added to most window in
your home in order to:
- reduce almost all of the sun's harmful ultraviolet
rays, which can fade or "bleach"
your furniture, drapes, carpets,
linoleum,
and wood
- save energy costs by reducing excessive heat
gain and loss through your windows
- cut annoying glare (like sunglasses do)
- increase your privacy
- prevent injury from glass fragments due to
crime, weather, and terrorism
Window film comes like contact shelf paper:
Window film is made of a plastic sheet to
one side of which a clear or tinted coating
is applied that provides the UV blocking.
The back side is coated with an adhesive
and a removable paper coating.
Window film should last at least
five years
and may last a decade or more.
Because of
its thermal properties, however,
window film
should not be used on all types
of windows.
Check with the seller or manufacturer
of
the film to be sure it is appropriate
to
the type and size of windows
in our home.
