\nSix Crystal-Clear Window Film Facts<\/strong>
\n1. Color-Neutral Options \u2013 \u201cIf you don\u2019t want to change the color of your home\u2019s natural light or see any metallic shine, ask for a color-neutral day-lighting film,\u201d said the International Window Film Association\u2019s Darell Smith. Your windows will save energy, but give up next to nothing in light quality.
\n2. Lower bills \u2013 In hot weather, solar-control films can block up to 80 percent of the solar energy coming through windows, which cuts down on air conditioning. \u201cIt usually translates into a year-round savings of about 5 to 10 percent of the home\u2019s total energy bill,\u201d said Smith, and much more during hot months.
\n3. Damage Shield \u2013 Visible light lies on the spectrum between ultraviolet, which damages furniture, and infrared, which beams heat. Treated windows will block 99 percent of UVA and UVB rays, thus greatly slowing the deterioration and fading of drapes, carpet and furniture.
\n4. Decorative Looks \u2013 Today\u2019s window films can also inexpensively make clear glass look etched or frosted for privacy or a decorative effect.
\n5. It\u2019s Not a Fix \u2013 If your window is in bad shape, leaking or poorly insulated, adding film won\u2019t fix that. Deteriorating windows should be replaced. However, if your windows are in good shape, don\u2019t replace them just for energy efficiency, said Smith. Try film first.
\n6. Get a Warranty on the Work \u2013 And read it before you sign a contract. You should be protected against bad installations. Signs of a bad job include film that peels or lifts at the edges, or little bubbles growing under the film. Speaking of warranties, many window manufacturers will invalidate their warranty if you do anything to their windows, including adding window film. If your windows are still under warranty, find out how adding film will affect that protection. Get it in writing.
