Optically Clear and Undetectable
The Armorcoat® safety films we use are designed to be optically clear, colorless, and virtually undetectable on glass. They seamlessly integrate with your home or business windows, maintaining their natural appearance both during the day and at night. By choosing this material for your residential and commercial window tinting, the view through the windows remains uninterrupted and uncompromised.
Protection Against UV Rays
In addition to enhancing safety, the films our Window Film Installers use offer valuable protection against damaging UV rays. With UV Tdw-ISO percentages ranging from 61% to 63%, our Armorcoat® products block more than 99% of UV light in the 300 to 380 nm range. This helps protect your employees, family members, and property from the harmful effects of UV radiation, reducing fading of furnishings and skin damage risk. Our Armorcoat® safety films also contribute to energy efficiency by reducing solar heat gain. With solar heat gain coefficients ranging from .78 to .79 and total solar energy rejection percentages of 21% to 22%, these films keep your space cooler and more comfortable, while reducing the load on your HVAC system.
Exceptional Impact Resistance
The resilient layers of high-tensile polyester and aggressive adhesives in our Armorcoat® window film products provide superior impact resistance. By deterring unwanted intruders and reducing the likelihood of injury from flying glass, these films offer increased security for your home or business in New York City.
Energy Efficiency & Glare Reduction
Our Armorcoat® safety films also contribute to energy efficiency by reducing solar heat gain. With solar heat gain coefficients ranging from .78 to .79 and total solar energy rejection percentages of 21% to 22%, these films keep your space cooler and more comfortable, while reducing the load on your HVAC system.
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.
