It Works in the Winter too!

As a company that sells and installs solar window films the winter usually is full of commercial,decorative and automotive projects, with the residential client only if they realize that you still get UV and fading in the winter and even when it is cloudy, but you also lose heat through the windows during the winter. Windows and doors contribute up to 30 percent of heat loss and gain in a home, by direct conduction through the glass and via air leakage through the window assembly.[2] The US Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that heat loss and gain through today’s windows account for approximately 4 percent of total domestic energy consumption.[3] Efficiency strategies vary widely based on regional climate considerations: windows can account for 25 percent of of a typical home’s heating energy load in cooler climates, and as much as 50 percent of the cooling load for homes in warmer climates.[4] Windows cover between 10 and 25 percent of the exterior surface area in new homes and selecting windows designed to either retain or repel heat is an important aspect of a whole-house energy efficiency plan. The DOE advocates reducing the environmental emissions from heating and cooling systems—some 150 million tons of CO2 alone annually—from 20-50 percent. Typical kwh saved per day with our Enerlogic $3.87-$4.18 so at 30-31 days on the energy bill that would save 115.00-130.00 per month!

Decorative Options for Glass are unlimited..

Decorative window films are rapidly gaining in popularity as a way to decorate and add privacy to windows and glass doors.
The perfect application for Conference Rooms, Lobbies,
Retail Environments, Residential Settings, Private Offices, Glass Partitions,
and wherever there is a need for Decorative Privacy.

Decorative window films also provide energy savings. The thin, 2-mil polyester films provide energy savings by reflecting light
away from a window. In addition to reflecting light, the 8-mil thick, static-vinyl films have a very slow thermal transfer rate;
it is like putting a thin layer of insulation on the glass.
View just a few of the options http://www.sunprotectionglasstint.com/3mfasaradecorative-window-tinting.html

How does EnerLogic compare to other film technologies?
EnerLogic provides unparalleled glass insulating capabilities - no other window film even comes close. With its patent-pending low-e technology, EnerLogic has the best insulating performance of any window film available.
Improving a window's insulating properties provides year-round energy savings. When you compare how much EnerLogic improves a typical window's insulating performance to other film technologies, you clearly see that EnerLogic is in a class by itself.(3)
(3) Based on percentage improvement in average annual insulating properties of 6mm glass with film as compared to the same glass without film. Product: VEP35 SR CDF
How Does EnerLogic upgrade windows?
Putting this unmatched insulating performance to work, EnerLogic is able to transform existing poorly-insulating windows into energy-efficient windows. The insulating power of EnerLogic gives single-pane windows the annual insulating performance of double-pane windows - and gives doublepane windows triple-pane performance.(4)
To get such improvement in performance from a thin, transparent window film is impressive - and much more affordable than window replacement.
Single-pane clear windows plus EnerLogic= Clear dual-pane windows.
Clear dual-pane windows plus EnerLogic= Clear triple-pane windows.
Premium Views, Premium Protection
While natural sunlight offers plenty of positives for your home, there is a downside to letting the light shine in: increased energy costs, excessive heat, glare, and the fading of interior furnishings.
By eliminating or reducing these negative effects, Vista™ Window Film allows you to bask in the benefits of your windows, transforming the comfort and efficiency of your home.
Clear Savings
While damaged or deteriorating windows simply have to be replaced, Vista Window Film provides an affordable alternative to replacement when your goal is to improve energy efficiency. In fact, the cost for quick, professional installation is about one-tenth the cost of replacement windows!
Clear Protection
If you've remodeled, redecorated, or otherwise updated your home, your new carpet and the finishes on your new cabinets, furniture, and hardwood floors can all be damaged by the sun. Vista Window Film will help protect all these surfaces, prolonging their beauty by screening out up to 99.9% of the UV rays that cause fading.

Window Film is the most effective retrofit solution.

ROI-Commercial Property Managers Compare Window Film USA
Can anyone deny that this has been a very troubling year for commercial property managers across the USA? Budgets are being slashed and tenant occupancy and tenant satisfaction are high profile topics in your management meetings.
It's all about cost savings and going green. Taking advantage of government energy incentives and local power company rebates makes more sense now than at any time since the Oil Embargo of the 1970's.Certainly the window film solution has come up before and many property managers have a distinctly poor perception of this retrofit solution. Why?Many of the older technology window films used dyed films that eventually fade or change colors. The effectiveness in reducing heat gain and lowering the demand on chillers and Hvac was very difficult to quantify. The aesthetics in many cases lent credence to the expression that "The cure was worse than the disease!"The fact that some manufacturers of window film still make dyed films or dyed metal combination films that are installed on commercial glass is appalling! The fact that this happens is evident by the purple glass you can see on many of the retail and commercial buildings throughout the USA.Sun Protection represents the leading manufacturers and brands of window film in the USA. We aren't shy about promoting these fine products and it is our direct experience in installing every one of these films and their performance and durability that separate our knowledge base from any other window film installation company. This is the difference between Sun Protection and that window film company you may have worked with in the past.There are no absolutes in window film. For example a reflective 20 % VLT Silver film is available from many different sources with a price spread that might amaze you. One company might have the temerity to charge twice as much for a film that is in nearly every respect the exact same film as one at half the cost. Some companies will simply re-box a film and sell it under another better known label. No added value just added cost.We won't play that game. . .PERIOD!

· We have committed our portfolio to non dyed films 100%.
· We will only recommend NFRC certified films for commercial buildings. Our commercial division offers 10 and 15 year commercial warranties.
· LEED Points for sustainable buildings.
· We offer highly competitive investment costs that are certainly in line with the ROI our clients demand.
· We are fully insured (2.0 Million) and have earned a long list of third party recommendations.
· We are objective concerning the window film solution that best meets your requirements. We can say this because we offer the best of the best films rather than one brand!
Consulting with your management team and analyzing your requirements is the first step in the process. Window film solutions are not identical. Consider the interior and exterior reflectivity of the window film for example. Many films are highly reflective while other films are less reflective from the interior or exterior.Take the hue of the film. Many films are neutral in appearance while others have a distinct color shift to the blue or green.There are bronze films and highly reflective spectrally select silver films.There are adhesives that are clear and will last for decades and there are pressure sensitive adhesives that are simply not durable enough for the daily wear and tear of a commercial office or retail environment. These films will present a hazy distorted appearance that will raise serious concerns in your building. There are virtually clear nano-ceramic films that won't alter the aesthetics of your building therefore maintaining the curb appeal that your tenants appreciate.

Adding to the market confusion has been a recent influx of non NFRC rated Chinese and South Korean based IR dyed films that are flooding the US Market. These films start with very impressive aesthetics and performance numbers. The problem is their inability to maintain this efficacy during a normal life cycle of 20 years. In a ironic sense these IR dyed films have the potential to follow the same course as the dyed plastic films of the 1960's and 1970's.We prefer that our clients get educated about window film. We want you to call local dealers or home depot then call us for an objective comparison. Certainly the fact that we offer the brands that comprise 95% of the US market share is absolutely no coincidence! We believe that the more knowledgeable you become about window film solutions the better our chances are to meet your goals and bottom line targets with Fact- Credentials and Performance on your buildings' glass now and for the next 25-50 years!
