We know you've worked hard and planned long for your home and all of your furnishings. You may have beautiful views through your windows and you love the light they bring into your home, but these same windows can be a source of major problems with sun damage, excessive heat and glare.
Closing your window treatments won't work. Sun damage can occur even if it's cloudy and even when the sun is not shining directly on the window. And when they're closed, there goes your view and the light. There is a Solution!
Reduce Heat & Fading
Let's face it, the sun in the Southeast US is hot and damaging most of the year. If your home has a lot of windows, then you have a lot of reasons to look at the benefits of using Window Film from Solar Tech.
Reduce Heat
Window Films can reject up to 79% of the sun's heat. This will add more comfort to your home, provide more even temperatures from one room to the next, and actually save you money on energy cost and save wear and tear on your HVAC system. In fact, our window film can actually pay for itself with cost savings in as little as five years.
Using blinds and curtains simply is not as effective at rejecting heat. Besides blinds and curtains also compromises the amount of natural light in your home and the views to outside. window film will help by keeping the sun’s heat out during the warm summer months, and also allow less heat to escape during the cool days of winter - eliminating hot and cold spots and providing a more consistent temperature inside.
Reduce Fading
Window Film excels at reducing the sun's damaging rays that produce fading of your flooring, furniture and valuable art. The number one cause of fading is ultraviolet rays. Window Film will stop over 99% of all UV rays right at the adhesive layer of the film.
UV light contributes to only 40% of all fading. However, infrared (IR) and visible light each contribute 25% of fading damage. films go further by blocking significant portions of infrared light and visible light as well. We'll keep it simple for you! Our consultants will work with you to ensure find the balance of UV, IR, visible light reduction, safety and aesthetics that will meet your needs.
