How Heat Reducing Films Lower Energy Costs and Improve Indoor Comfort

Heat-reducing films can lower a building’s energy cost by reducing solar heat gain. This helps reduce heat in your home and means your air conditioning won’t have to work as hard, helping save you money on energy bills.

Reducing the solar heat gain will make your home cooler, making hot summer days more comfortable. Imagine sitting beside a window and reading a book or watching TV with less of the intense summer heat pouring through.

“I called Pro Films because we have a west-facing room. The space would get so bright in the late afternoon it was almost unusable. We now have a great place to entertain no matter what time of day.”

Professional Heat Reducing Film Installation for Optimal Results

We not only supply heat-reducing film but install it as well. Our knowledgeable professionals install your heat-reducing film correctly so it will look great on your window. If the heat-reducing film is incorrectly installed, it may be less effective. For example, air pockets or gaps could occur between the film and the window, which could hamper its heat-reducing effectiveness.

When installing your heat reducing film, our team follows these steps.

Before we begin our work, we place a cover on your floor to help protect it from the soap and water mixture used in the installation process.
We then prepare the window surface using a scrounge pad or scraper (whichever works best for your window).
We remove the window film from its box and closely cut it to how it fits on the window.
The window film gets applied to the glass. While doing this, we are careful to cover the entire glass surface. Then we begin to squeegee out the soapy water.
Once 90% of the water has been removed from the window film, and it’s securely in place, we trim the film for a precise fit.
When the film edges have dried, we wipe off the window.
The curing process may take as many as 30 days. Once the curing process is complete, it will be fully dry. On occasion, water blisters may form, but they’ll go away.

FAQs About Heat Reducing Window Films

How do heat-reducing window films work?

Heat-reducing window films help to block solar heat gain from entering your home or business through your windows while still allowing light to shine through.

Can heat-reducing films help lower energy bills?

Yes! By decreasing solar heat gain, your heating system won’t have to do as much work.

Are heat-reducing films effective for all types of windows?

Certain window types don’t work well with window film or require a special window film type. The following are a few examples. Please note this is not conclusive. Please consult with a window film professional to determine if heat-reducing window films are a good choice for your windows.

Plexiglass, acrylic, and curved windows require a special type of tint. If a window is made from a material besides glass, you’ll want a film with a multi-surface adhesive.

Window film shouldn’t be applied to windows that have the following characteristics:

1. Single-pane windows with an area of over 100 feet and double-pane windows with an area of over 40 feet
2. Clear glass that has a thickness greater than ⅜ inches or tinted glass with a thickness greater than ¼ inch
3. Glass that has a nonstandard surface or composition, such as textured, wired, patterned, or reflective glass
4. Painted or vinyl-decorated windows
5. Glass that has solid steel, solid aluminum, or concrete framing
6. Glass that is damaged

Energy.gov notes that window tint’s heat gain blocking effectiveness can vary based on window characteristics, including:

Window glazing area’s size
The orientation of the window
If the window features interior insulation

Some windows feature a low-emission coating, or a Low-E coating. If the Low-E coating is facing the space that is between the window panes, a window film can be placed on the room-facing side of the window film, and will not comprise the Low-E coating’s benefits.

If the Low-E coating is on the window’s interior side, window film shouldn’t be applied as it could reduce or get rid of the heat loss reduction that the Low-E coating offers.

Do heat-reducing films block UV rays as well?

Some heat-reducing films also block UV rays. However, how many UV rays are blocked depends on the type of window film. Please check with your window film provider for information on the amount of UV rays that are blocked.

How long do heat-reducing films last?

While many variables affect how long heat-reducing film lasts, it can last 10 to 15 years or even more, depending on the quality of the film, maintenance, and environmental conditions.
