Window film is optical grade polyester sheeting with colored dye and\/or metal particles embedded into its surface.\u00a0 This reduces the transmission of solar heat, light, and ultraviolet rays through a pane of glass, simultaneously reducing glare.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
YES- window films can act like a solar blanket keeping a steady internal warmth from your cold windows.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The film has a powerful adhesive on one side that is kept clean by a protective liner which is removed at time of installation. Professional installers completely clean and prep the glass prior to installation. Using a special mounting solution, squeegee and stainless cutting blades, they prepare, fit and secure the film to the glass.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
NO – Window film is designed for application to smooth window glass only. It is not recommended for use on any unsmooth surfaces or polycarbonates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Heat rejection properties of window films vary from one product to another. Some films can reject as much as 83 percent of total solar energy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The life of window film depends on factors that include the application of the film, orientation of the window and geographic location. When properly installed, it is not uncommon for window film to remain attractive and effective for as long as 30 years or more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Tinted Blinds provides limited lifetime warranty coverage for a number of our residential films. Other products are backed by varying degrees of warranty coverage, depending on the film and application. Ask your professional installer for a copy of the specific warranty for your film selection.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Tinted Blinds carries Frost films which allow ambient light in. We also offer the industry\u2019s finest White Out and\/or Black Out film which completely blocks all light and obstructs visibility from both sides..<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Window Film provides numerous benefits including solar heat and ultraviolet rejection.\u00a0 They can be easily fitted to most existing glass which makes them less costly than replacing windows with tinted glass. They also help protect occupants from flying shards of broken glass in the event of accidental breakage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Window film is constructed with ultraviolet inhibitors embedded in the films adhesive which blocks up to 99 percent of the ultraviolet energy that is harmful to humans and damaging to fabrics and furnishings. However, ultraviolet energy is only one of the factors that contribute to fading. It is estimated that ultraviolet is responsible for roughly 40 to 60 percent of fading. Solar heat and light energy also contribute to fading, as does humidity, moisture, abuse and the quality of some dyes used in fabrics. Since these factors vary for different types of films and materials, the fade reduction benefit will also vary depending on the type of film selected, the quality of the products being protected and the environment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Once installed window film helps reduce the amount of solar heat energy coming through a pane of glass. This makes it easier to cool a room, resulting in lower energy consumption. The extent of savings will depend on the type of film selected and the geographic location where the film is used.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The films that Tinted Blinds use are designed exclusively for professional installation and sold only through licensed solar control window film dealers. This dedication to our nationwide network of dealers helps ensure the proper installation of your film.

Proper care and cleaning are critical to maintaining the beautiful appearance of window film. All window film products are susceptible to scratching and damage if they are not properly maintained. To help prevent minor scratches that can occur with cleaning, all of our window films come standard with a durable, scratch-resistant coating. Still, it is important to follow the care and cleaning instructions provided by us to ensure a long service life from your window film product.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Standard solar control window films can help hold broken glass together in the event of accidental breakage. However, these films do not strengthen the glass enough to provide shatter-proofing, or reduce the chance of glass breakage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The amount of time it takes to install window film depends on the site of the application, access to the glass and the experience level of your selected installer. If you are concerned about the time frame, be sure to ask us for an estimate of installation time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
All window film installers use a special soapy solution during installation. It is normal for some of this solution to become trapped between the glass and the film, requiring time to “dry-out”. The curing or dry-out time is necessary for window film adhesive to properly bond to the glass. How long it takes depends on factors such as the film type and climate during and after installation completion. Your professional installer will tell you what to expect.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
After the dry-out process is complete your window film will not require any special care. Cleaning window film can be done safely with mild soapy water and a soft cloth \/ soft paper towel. Do not use any rough or abrasive materials for cleaning the film side of the glass. Always use cloths that are free of contamination or dirt particles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
A major benefit of window film is that you can remove and replace it whenever you want. We would be happy to discuss this with you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
