Today’s window film industry and the types of film available can be quite complex.  What isn’t complex is how much a homeowner can reduce energy loss, which is between 30 to 50 percent. This is done by maintaining a home’s cool temperatures during the summer by blocking out the heat, and in the winter, holding heat within the home. The value of window film doesn’t stop at cost reduction. It is also bought for security reasons as it prevents glass from shattering.

Even with all of this knowledge, before choosing the right window film for your house, do your research. Know what types of window film are available. For instance, some window films are made up of metallic materials and therefore are reflective. Reflective films do just this, reflect the unwanted solar heat gain away from the window before it can be absorbed. The film is also designed to  absorb the solar gain as well, taking that heat and dissipating it. Before choosing reflective film and of you live in a neighborhood with a homeowners association, check and make sure there aren’t any rules or objections to having shiny or mirror-appearing coatings on your windows.
