The trend towards more
open floor plans and areas that
bring the
outdoors inside is unmistakable. Today's homes and commercial buildings
use more glass than ever before. As attractive as this is, it leads to
a host of problems ranging from excessive glare, heat build-up and high
energy costs to the premature fading of carpets, furniture and
draperies. |
 |
Lumar and
Vista window film can effectively alter these problems
while providing increased comfort and lower overall costs. With today's
push to "Go
Green", window film provides energy conservation and an almost
zero carbon footprint, making our planet a healthier and more
confortable place to live.

CONSUMER NEWS
December 2008:
Homeowners may not be aware they can earn up to $500 by having
solar-control window film installed on their home. For consumers
concerned with high energy costs, there are now two financial
incentives to invest in energy efficient improvements – lower monthly
energy bills and a tax credit. CPFilms, a business unit of Solutia
Inc., announces that many of their Vista® solar-control window
films now qualify for a tax credit established by the Energy Policy Act
of 2005. The world’s largest manufacturer of window film will help
consumers receive a tax credit.
Which films qualify? Call Solar Control Films today for a FREE home estimate.
November 2008: Many
who begin to look at window film for their homes are NOT interested in
having "dark" film. As far as they are concerned, dark film is most
effective for keeping the heat out. That is no longer true. Today's
technologies allow high energy rejection with minimal visual loss using
various forms of metals and ceramics laminated in the window film. So,
if you want visibility both ways to be clear and yet have energy
control, it can be done.
October 2008: Privacy
film is usually one of the sought after items in window film. What has
to be determined is, what is your definition of privacy? Many want to
be able to see out, but have no one see in, all day long and night. See
our FAQ section on "One Way" glass. Others would like to have light
come in, but no visibility either way. With "frosted" finish films,
that is very easy to accomplish and for those who want complete
blockage of light and visibility, there are opaque finish films. Feel
free to contact us for samples of these products.
September 2008: One
of the most asked questions to professional installers is, "Do my
windows have to be dark to stop UV damage?" The answer is NO. UV
inhibitors are transparent petroleum based coatings on window film
which can stop up to 99% of UV intrusion. When coupled with metallized
films, the UV value can be driven up to 99.9%. If you only want UV
blockage, transparent films can be applied to the glass giving no
indication that any film is there. But keep in mind, UV is not the only
thing causing damage to your interior, heat is a culprit too.
August 2008: With
the cost of living going up up up, the only way to really battle the
trend is through reducing the impact we have on natural resources and
consumables. Window film can reduce the amount of energy loss from your
windows by up to 40%, thus translating into saved dollars for you.
Since window film does not require periodic renewal, there is little
waste to no waste to effect the environment.
July 2008: The use
of window film in your home or business can provide more than just
energy efficient conditions, it can provide safety too. How so?
Depending on the film thickness, if glass breakage should occur, the
film can reduce the amount of glass fragments that drop from the broken
window. The thicker the film, the more effective the dispersement
becomes. For more information on safety films contact us at info@solarcontrolfilms.biz
