Love the light you live in.
Many modern homes are designed with massive amounts of glass to let in as much natural
light as possible. This "lets the outdoors in", enhances the beauty of every room, and
contributes to an overall sense of well being. Most everyone loves a bright home, but they
also agree that glass creates problems on many levels. Large areas of glass create "hot
spots", and cause fading of furnishings and fabrics. They also contribute to soaring energy
costs – and even lead to safety concerns and worries about personal security. Window film
is a simple and affordable way to address all those problems!
Reduce fading. SolarGard®, Panorama®, and Armorcoat® window films stop 99%+ of
the harmful ultraviolet light that ruins drapes, furnishings, fine art, carpets – even hardwood
floors. While heat and visible light are also factors (see side bar), window film will
significantly reduce fading, and give your prized possessions years of extra life.
Combat Solar Heat Gain. An application of sun control film is one of the most effective
measures you can take to make your home more comfortable and control energy costs. By
stopping heat at the window – before it ever enters your home – you can take control of
your comfort, eliminate those troublesome "hot spots", and
reduce your energy costs, by lessening the demand on your cooling system.
Make it easy on your eyes. Glare can be really annoying, especially in areas with large
amounts of glass. Try watching "the game" on that new big screen TV when the sun is
blasting through the glass behind you - completely fading out the picture. Window film
softens the light, reduces the irritating glare, and enhances the overall enjoyment of your
living and entertaining areas.
Make it safe. Violent weather, and concerns for personal safety make the application of
Safety and Security window film a very appealing option when considering any installation
of window film. These highly impact-resistant products hold glass in place during severe
storms, and they deter home invasion. Flying glass can be a grave threat to the safety of
your loved ones, and the damage to your home as a result of shattered windows in violent
weather can be extensive, if not devastating. Many of our most popular designer and sun
control films are available as security film products, and are worthy of consideration as a
very affordable "upgrade" to your window film installation.
Bring out your creative side. Add your own "designer's touch" to shower enclosures,
mirrors, and entry doors! Our sales consultants can show you hundreds of decorative films
that can be used to make custom designs on your glass surfaces. Our computerized
plotters can cut any design you can envision, in colors, textures, or frosts that look like
etched glass. See our slide show under "Films For Interior Design".
Insist on the best warranty! All SolarGard®, Panorama®, and Armorcoat® films are
backed by the most extensive manufacturer's warranties in the industry, and cover both
material and labor! Ask us for complete details.

The number one reason that residential
customers choose window film is to protect
their valuable furniture, draperies, art and
collectibles – even their flooring - from fading.
With this in mind, you should know a few
things.
The myth. The vast majority of people
associate the effects of fading entirely with
ultraviolet light. It is therefore very easy to
understand why they might assume that a
window film product with a 99% ultraviolet
rejection rating could eliminate fading from
their home. However, since other factors
contribute to fading, one needs to
understand the "rest of the story."
The facts. It is very important to understand
that ultraviolet light contributes only 40% to
the total fading problem. Visible light
contributes 25%, and solar energy (heat)
contributes another 25%, resulting in a full
50% contribution to the problem. The
remaining 10% of what causes fading is
directly tied to the quality, (or lack of quality),
of the dyes used in furnishings, fabric, and
carpet. Understanding this makes it easier to
see why stopping only ultraviolet light will not
eliminate fading.
No solar control window film product is
guaranteed to stop or cure a fading problem.
However, professional quality window film
can significantly reduce fading caused by
ultraviolet, visible light, and solar energy. The
degree of protection you obtain is closely tied
to the type of film that you select.
Don’t forget! You are also protecting yourself!
There are two types of UV radiation; UVA and
UVB, which damage skin and increase your
risk for skin cancer. Bekaert films provide
sunscreen-like protection while you're in your
home. Many of our films are recommended
by the Skin Cancer Foundation!
