| Exterior Bronze 25 |
23 | 98 | 83 | This is a weather resistant solar control window film for application on the exterior side of windows. Dark bronze tone. Excellent alternative for windows which cannot have solar contorl film installed on the interior (laminated glass or rooftop window glass for example) FOR EXTERIOR APPLICATION ONLY |
WARNING:
Due to thermal stress, solar control films should not be installed on thermal pane windows where the glass has been treated with a LOW-E coating.
Automotive film should never be installed on thermal pane windows. Dark, highly absorbing film should not be installed on
large thermal pane windows where there is uneven sun exposure (partial shading for example) on the window creating uneven heat
distribution over the glass. Solar films are not recommended for Georgian wire glass. Solar films should never be installed on damaged, chipped or cracked glass. Roof windows/skylights should be fitted with exterior window films. Further, the International Window Film Association (IWFA) recommends that solar control film should not be used on: single pane glass larger than 100 square feet, double pane glass larger than 40 square feet, clear glass thicker than 3/8 inch, tinted glass thicker than 1/4 inch, window framing systems of concrete, solid aluminum, or solid steel, glass where sealant or glazing compound has hardened, reflective, wired, textured, or patterned glass, triple pane glass, or laminated glass windows. There are a variety of types of solar control films which may address thermal stress in specific applications, please contact us for appropriate alternatives for your windows (exterior films, for example) if you have conerns or any of the above types of glass/windows.
Never apply solar control window film to only part of a window as it may cause the glass to break.
It is extremely unlikely that appropriately installed window film (as per above) will harm your windows. In the rare event that a window does break, that break is almost always a result of the film putting stress on a pre-existing window defect. As we are unable to inspect and evaluate the do-it-yourself clients' window system, or verify the cause of the breakage, Apex Window Films cannot accept liability in the unlikely event that the glass breaks.
