See your home in a whole new light!

The days are getting shorter. Soon it will be dark when we rise in the morning and dark when we return home from work in the evenings. But what about the time in between? While we are busy at work, the sun is busy slowly destroying the things in our homes.

Perhaps you have noticed areas in your home where your furniture, flooring, artwork or even your window coverings are fading. Try lifting an area rug or turning over some throw pillows and there is a good chance that that you have already been subjected to sun damage. UV (ultraviolet) rays are the leading cause of fading. The second biggest contributor is heat. By reducing both of these properties in a building we are able to preserve its contents.

The windows in our homes have always been and will continue to be "the weakest link" when it comes to security, privacy and heat loss/generation. We can address these concerns separately with metal bars, window coverings and windows with the latest in technology, but all of these have their limitations. If only there was a single product available to address all of these issues without requiring a second mortgage.

Many would be surprised to hear that, in fact, such a product has been around for many years. It is solar window film.

Window film is a thin laminate applied directly to your glass. It has a similar effect that a quality pair of sunglasses provides for our eyes.

The benefits of having window film applied to your glass include:

* Reduces up to 100 % of harmful UV rays.

* Reduces up to 83% of solar heat gain that create hot spots and escalate cooling costs.

* Reduces up to 54% of heat loss thru windows in the winter time saving on heating costs.

* Increases privacy.

* Assists in glass containment i.e. prevents shattering.

* Complements any home or décor.

It is highly recommended that you check with the manufacturer or professional regarding warranties prior to purchasing.

A one-time investment in applying window film ensures money saved on heating/air conditioning, reduced sun damage to your belongings, increased personal comfort/privacy and the knowledge that you are continuing energy conservation efforts in your home!
