Consider Window Film as an Alternative to Replacing Your Windows

Homeowners often become frustrated at the amount of heat transfer that occurs through their windows. Whether it’s intense sunlight penetrating through the glass during summer or heat escaping through the panes during the winter months, it’s no secret that windows don’t inherently have great insulating properties. This creates discomfort and sky-high energy bills. Older homes with original windows experience this headache frequently. But before you make the hefty financial decision to replace your windows, first consider window film as an alternative.

A Cost-Effective Alternative to Window Replacement

People looking to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of their homes often think that double or triple pane windows are the way to go. While these products do possess insulating and temperature control characteristics, they also cost a pretty penny. Window film offers a very cost-effective alternative. Single pane windows insulated with window film perform like double pane windows. Similarly, double pane windows insulated with window film demonstrate the same temperature control and insulating properties as triple-pane windows. Furthermore, window film provides these benefits at a fraction of the cost.

When to Tint & When to Replace

Unfortunately, some situations do require a window replacement. When a window’s seal is broken or gaps or cracks are present along the frame, you won’t experience the full benefits of window film without investing in new windows first.
