UV rays are just as bad for your home as they are for your skin. During those blistering hot summer months the heat from the sun pours into your home making it hot and uncomfortable. When looking to reduce energy costs in your home, installing solar window film is the right one for you. This type of film absorbs 78% of the sun’s heat coming through your windows, which means lowering your cooling costs by 35-50% a year

Window Replacements

When your windows crack and shatter in storms or accidents, it can cost $200-$2100 to replace an average size residential window. Overtime throughout many storms and accidents, it can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs! By using the security film, you’ll save hours of your time and money. The initial investment of the film is cheaper than the window replacement. Looking for a quote to protect every window in your home?

As we have discussed earlier, solar paneling can absorb and block out 80% of the harmful UV rays that would damage your furniture. Save money in the long run by protecting your furniture.
