Will Clear Film Block out Heat and Glare?

Solar window films have really improved the last few years. Today’s films do not rely on dye to block out the sun. Instead, they use what is called “spectrally selective technology” to identify heat and UV rays.

When the sunlight hits the film, the harmful rays that cause damage to your skin and interiors are bounced back away. However, the visible light we see and want in our homes is allowed to pass through the film without interruption. Therefore, yes, clear energy efficient window tint provides the same heat and glare blocking benefits as clear film.

Is Window Film Durable?

By Blog No Comments

One of the most common questions we get here at Edmond Window Film is how long window film will last, how long will it stay on the windows? In other words, is it durable? This is an important question, especially when you are seeking a return on your investment.

Window film is an extremely durable product. Most window film will last at least 10 years and most likely, it will last between 15-20 years.

A few factors that influence the life of Window Film:

Location of the film: Window film works great against extreme sun exposure for many years. However, customers need to understand that in hotter climates, like Oklahoma in the summer, on windows facing east or west, the film will wear down quicker. These particular windows on your Edmond home or business will likely need film replacement faster than other windows. Remember, the windows that need film, are the exact ones that get the most sun and therefore ones that need the film the most.

Quality of the Film: When it comes to solar window films, polyester films are very cost effective and work very well. The downfall of these films is that they are not nearly as resistant to scratches and won’t last as long. At Edmond Window Film, we really encourage customers to go with a ceramic solar window film because of the high quality and durability. They are a little more expensive but are resistant to scratches, damage and will last much longer.

The Skill of the Installer: It is very important to have a trained film installer. When you hire a true professional from Edmond Window Film, you ensure the correct adhesion and flawless look. Please, you will get all the warranties offered from our company as well as the film manufacturer.

What You Should Know About Safety & Security Window Film

By Blog No Comments

Protecting your family and your home is a top priority for you. If you are considering installing security film on your Edmond home or business, it is important to understand what security film is and what it can do for you.

What is Security Window Film?

security and safety window film

Security film is a film applied to your home or business’s windows and/or glass doors to help make them more secure and less prone to breakage. It comes in a clear, transparent film as well as a tinted, heat-rejecting film.

What Does Security Film Do?

The purpose of safety/security film is to make window glass harder to penetrate either by a criminal, bad weather or other accidents. This film reinforces the glass, so it is sturdier. It will prevent the broken glass from shattering and flying into a room where it can harm you or your family.

Safety film will not prevent someone from trying to break into your home. It will, however, slow an intruder down and make it much more difficult to penetrate the glass. This will allow you to call for help and get to safety.

Safety or security film is not bulletproof but will help hold glass pieces together after the impact of a bullet. Unfortunately, there is no “bulletproof” film on the market.

Security film is a great addition to your current safety plans, such as an alarm system and other security devices. It is not meant to replace those ideas; however, it adds a layer of security.

We recommend adding safety and security film to main points of entry, including glass doors and sidelights around your doors and entry areas.

Call Edmond Window Film to learn more about how safety/security film can help protect you and your family. We offer free quotes in person or virtually.
