New Windows vs. New Window Film

Why Window Film is the better choice

1. Budget - Window tint is a fraction of the cost of replacing glass itself and has major benefits that are comparable to new windows. The average payback for new windows is around 13 years where as window tint can have as little a payback as 4 years.
2. Energy Efficiency - Home window tinting is one of the most energy efficient home improvements. Window film blocks 99% of the UV rays and can reject up to 86% of the heat coming through the glass. This will help cool your home and lower utility costs.
3. Necessity - New windows are not always necessary, unless they have broke or have rotted. Window film allows you to update the look of your windows while improving their efficiency. A few added benefits; the film will hold the glass together if it were to shatter, protect against fading and add comfort and natural lighting to your home.
