Summer Cooling Made Easy: The Advantages of Window Thermal Films Copy
Stay Cool, Spend Smart
It’s easy to see why home window films should be your top choice for keeping your home cool this summer. You can change how your home handles the heat while still letting in the light, and without affecting its visual appeal or requiring extensive renovations. And the best part is that they last for many years. The main benefits can be broken into two categories.
#2 Enhanced Comfort
Imagine a home bathed in beautiful natural light without the scorching heat. By reducing the solar heat gain, window films create a more comfortable living environment even at the height of summer. No more avoiding south-facing windows or cranking up the air conditioning just to feel a bit of relief! They can also create a more even temperature distribution throughout the house, eliminating uncomfortable hot zones.
#1 Slashed Energy Bills
Window films act like a shield, rejecting a significant portion of the sun’s heat, especially the invisible infrared radiation. This translates to less heat entering the home, significantly reducing
the workload on air conditioners. Studies show they can block up to 70% of solar heat gain, leading to lower energy bills and substantial savings throughout the summer.
Selecting the right film
Selecting the right film involves climate, building orientation, and code requirements.
Los Angeles (Climate Zone 3)
Nano-ceramic clear films allow high visible light transmittance (VLT) while blocking infrared—suitable for offices needing natural brightness without glare. California Title 24 encourages low-e coatings, making solar/spectrally selective films essential for compliance.
Chicago (Climate Zone 5)
Dual-reflective ceramic films—reflective outside, clear inside—strike a balance between winter heat retention and summer heat rejection. Mid-summer humidity in Chicago demands films that maintain performance under variable conditions.
New York City (Climate Zone 4)
Multifaceted needs require combinations—tinted low-e films for high-rise apartments and decorative films for privacy in brownstone homes. NYC Local Law 97 emphasizes energy efficiency, so buildings add tinting to achieve compliance.
Miami (Climate Zone 2)
Security and hurricane resistance matter. Safety films—8-mil thickness—reinforce glass, meeting Miami-Dade County impact codes. Additionally, solar safety films filter up to 99% of UV rays, protecting interiors and occupants under 90°F heat.
Installation best practices:
Surface Preparation
Windows must be cleaned meticulously—any residue leads to bubbles.
Temperature & Humidity Control
Install in 50°F–90°F conditions; extreme heat can cause premature curing, while high humidity delays adhesion.
Application Technique
Expert installers use precision squeegees and position films to avoid distortion. For large panes—common in Miami condominiums—installers work from top-down, ensuring alignment with mullions.
Warranty & Maintenance
High-end films come with 10-year, non-prorated warranties against bubbling, peeling, and delamination. Clean film surfaces monthly with gentle soap and water—avoiding ammonia-based cleaners.
