Overview
Energy-saving window film reduces the sun's heat and UV coming through existing glass. It can ease the load on air conditioning in hot rooms, but savings depend on the building, the glass and the film, so we don't promise a set amount.

Why rooms overheat
West- and south-facing glass, upstairs windows and sunrooms take the most direct sun. Film reduces the solar heat that passes through glass into those rooms.
UV and fading
3M solar films block up to 99% of UV rays, a main cause of fading. Heat and visible light also contribute, so film slows fading rather than stopping it.
Homes and businesses
Homeowners usually start with the hottest rooms. Businesses often focus on perimeter work areas and storefront glass. Both start with a review of the existing glass.
What to expect from savings
Film can ease the cooling load in hot rooms, but results depend on the building, glass, orientation and film. We don't promise a set reduction in energy bills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does energy-saving film darken my windows?
Not necessarily. There are light and nearly clear options as well as darker ones. We bring samples so you can compare.
Is it safe for dual-pane windows?
Many films are approved for dual-pane glass, but compatibility depends on the film and window. We check before recommending a product.
How long does installation take?
Most homes take a few hours to one day. Commercial jobs are scheduled based on the amount of glass and access.
How do I clean filmed windows?
Wait for the film to cure as instructed, then use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. We give written care instructions after installation.
