Some rooms with sunny windows can feel uncomfortable year round. Summer or winter, even with windows open or running the air conditioning at full power is not enough to balance the temperature in homes or offices. This is especially true if a room faces east or west. These rooms receive the sun's rays directly either early or late in the day. During the summer months these rays can become incredibly intense. Intense heat, necessitating increased air conditioning, increases power costs and is ultimately harmful to the environment.
You can minimize summer heat indoors and improve your home's energy efficiency by installing solar control window film. These specialty window films are designed to reflect and/or block the sun's heat rays, while allowing visible light in. Solar control window film increases interior comfort. Buildings with solar control window film installed, conserve energy used to air condition and light interiors.

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 Apex Window Films for appropriate alternatives for your windows (exterior films, for example) if you have conerns or any of the above types of glass/windows.
