Selecting the right film involves climate, building orientation, and code requirements.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Windows must be cleaned meticulously—any residue leads to bubbles.
Install in 50°F–90°F conditions; extreme heat can cause premature curing, while high humidity delays adhesion.
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.
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.
