Q: What is window film?In their simplest forms, window films are composed of a polyester substrate to which a scratch resistant coating is applied on one side, while a mounting adhesive layer and a protective release liner is applied to the other. When the release liner is removed, that side of the film with the adhesive is applied to the interior surface of the glass. Generally, window film provides protection from the effects of the sun as well as added safety and security in the events that result in broken glass. There are many types and constructions of solar control and safety window films. The efficiencies of solar control window films are closely related to local weather conditions, building orientation, window size, and other factors such as exterior shading conditions. However, with escalating energy costs, window films are increasingly valuable as an investment for commercial and residential owners. Q: How to clean the windows after film is applied?Windows with film applied are easily cleaned without damage to their appearance as long as a few guidelines are followed:
The availability of scratch resistant coatings as a standard feature of quality films virtually eliminates the need for extra special precautions in cleaning. Q: How long will the films last?The effective life of window film will vary by the type of film, type of glass, window construction, compass orientation of glass, and part of the world in which the building is located. There are documented cases of film lasting 12 to 22 years or more. This should not however, be assumed to be the normal expected life. Q: Will window film really stop fabrics from fading?Six factors affect the fading of fabrics:
Clear single pane glass will reject 23 - 28% of the ultraviolet light from the sun. Insulated glass is slightly better, rejecting 36 - 41%. Window films installed on glass reject 95 - 99% of solar ultraviolet light. Different types of clear glass and window systems will reject 13 - 29% of solar heat. With window films, 80% solar heat rejection can be obtained. No window film can eliminate fading. It can, however, offer maximum protection from fading due to solar ultraviolet light and solar heat. |
