Studies show that the primary reason for energy loss in most homes and buildings is due to poor insulation. The culprit behind this problem is almost always single pane glass windows. Heat escapes easily through glass, the result of which is usually excess heat build up during the summer and heat loss during the winter, which leads to high energy costs.
Window tinting is a simple, fast, cost effective solution to lowering your energy costs. This can all be done without the need for dark tints that hinder your windows views or blocking light. Window film can reduce the need to run your air conditioner and can pay for itself in as little as 2 years after installation, making it a solid investment. After one quick application, many homeowners find that they save as much as 30% on energy costs after just the first year.
There are a variety of different types of films that can be used to reduce energy consumption. These films range in their appearance and physical composition and work in different ways. Some energy saving window films use ceramics to reflect heat while others contain precious metals. Your window tinting contractor will be able to determine the best option for your home based on your aesthetic preferences and needs. Learn more about energy saving window film.

There lies a common misconception with the way that the sun affects our bodies and the objects around us. Many people are under the belief that they are safe from the sun and uv radiation as long as they are indoors. But this view does not take into account the amount of sunlight that still enters our homes and workplaces through windows. Over time, this exposure to uv rays, both indoors and outside, can lead to serious health diseases and cause damage to furniture and flooring. Fortunately, window film offers a solution.
Giving your floors and furniture more life is easy with window film. With just one quick installation window film blocks 99% of the sun’s UV rays, keeping your furniture and floors safe from fading in the sun. Window film uses spectrally selective technology to control which types of light from the electromagnetic spectrum are able to pass through the film. The result of this is maximum daylight transmission and a dramatic reduction in the absorption of infrared heat and uv radiation.
In addition to blocking UV rays, window film reduces glare on windows so there’s no need to draw the blinds just to watch TV or work on your computer. With window film, you don’t have to worry about straining or squinting to see what’s on the screen and can relax or work in ease. And, unlike blinds or curtains which close your building off from the world, window tint also allows you to enjoy the beautiful views from your home or office.

While window films don’t remove graffiti per se, they are quite effective for repairing vandalized items. Removing graffiti is a costly endeavor that requires hours of work and scrubbing. Most of the time, it requires hiring a professional, and even then, there’s no guarantee that the markings will come off. Furthermore, there’s a good chance that if it happened once, it might happen again. Anti-graffiti window films provide Kansas City schools, businesses, and public transit organizations with a more effective way of managing vandalism.
Instead of eradicating the damage by removing it, graffiti films cover up the marks and scratches. The film is custom made to match the surface of the damaged area. It blends in so well, it’s impossible to notice. Once installed, the graffiti is no longer visible and the fixture looks like new. If it just so happens that the same item should be tagged, scratched, or drawn on in the future, the film will absorb most of the damage. Then, the damaged film can be removed and a new one can be applied in its place. It’s faster, cheaper, and works so much better!

Schools are among the most important and sacred places in our country. Yet they are also the most vulnerable. Because of failures in public policy and lack of federal funding, schools simply don’t have the financial means necessary to implement sound security measures. It seems reasonable that all schools should have deterrent mechanisms and bulletproof glass, but for many schools in underfunded urban areas, this is a far off dream.
Our window films provide a cost effective solution for Kansas City schools seeking to upgrade their security. We carry a variety of films that can be used to reinforce school entrances, classroom windows, chemistry labs, computer labs, gymnasiums, and more. Our team will work with your school administration to identify what the most pressing concerns are and create a solid plan that can help keep your teachers and students safe.

Natural light does wonders for a building’s interior. When buildings have access to natural sunlight, employees are happier and more productive. Tenant turnover declines. And less illness is passed around among groups. Yet because the sun also causes heat retention, blinds and shades have become common practice in most commercial settings. However, this is all about to change thanks to Daylight Redirecting Film.
Daylight Redirecting Film provides a way to retain sunlight without absorbing heat. This innovative film is installed in the uppermost portion of a window so that it can control the sun’s activity. Instead of unfiltered sunlight streaming through, light is redirected upward and sent deep into the room. This way, the entire room is lit with natural light, not just the areas closest to the windows. Heat stays out, but light radiates in.
