Common Questions Regarding Residential Window Film

Residential window film in Plantation is a popular option for many reasons. People are looking for a way to help keep better temperature control in the home, which reduces monthly energy bills, among other benefits. Increasingly, people are seeking a company to install window film in their homes professionally. Their search comes with many questions, as it should.

It’s important to know what having film installed entails so that homeowners go into it with the information they need. The more someone knows about the process and what to expect, the happier they will be with the final product. At Southern Glass Protection, we have helped countless people with their residential window film installation in Plantation. We hear many of the same questions that people have and want to ensure they also have the answers.

Here are some of the most common questions asked regarding residential window film:

Does it really work?

Yes, indeed! Window film really does work. It has been manufactured to filter out 99.9% of the harmful UV rays from coming in through the window. Homeowners can still see out and get natural light that comes in, but it will make the atmosphere more comfortable and help protect the skin from harmful rays. The film provides a layer of protection and privacy to the windows. People inside the home can see out fine, but people outside cannot see inside during the daytime.

How long does window film last?

The amount of time the window film will last depends on various factors. These include the type of film used, if it was professionally applied, and how it is being taken care of. When we install the film, we only use the high-quality Vista brand, which comes with a 100% transferrable warranty. Homeowners can expect to get 10 to 20 years out of their film between that and our workmanship, provided they properly care for it.

Does window film keep the home more temperature controlled?

Yes, it helps to keep the Sun’s heat from entering the home through the windows. A lot of air conditioning is lost or washed away through a window’s heat gain. Adding the film helps to minimize that loss, and filters out the majority of the heat from the sunlight. This helps to reduce energy bills each month.

How much does the installation of it cost?

Every house is going to be different because every installation job varies. It is vital to get an estimate so that homeowners can get an accurate quote for what it would cost to add window film to their homes. The price is influenced by several factors, including the film used and the windows’ number and size. The only way to know how much it will cost for a particular home is to have a quote done.

How long does installation take?

The installation of the film only takes hours. Many people assume it will be a lengthy process, but it is not. We arrive at our agreed-upon time, move any necessary furniture to access the windows, install the film, clean up, and move on. The entire process is quick and clean.

These are some of the most common questions we get regarding window film installation in South Florida. Many others are specific to people’s needs, and we are happy to answer those as well. We want people to know as much about it as they can so they make an informed decision.

Window film is an excellent investment for the home, especially for those who live in a state like Florida, where there is an abundance of sunshine.

There are many good reasons to consider installing it and gaining all the benefits.
