What Is Window Film?
Window film provides specific purposes such as personal and property protection from the effects of the sun as well as added safety and security in the events of a broken-window incident. Window film is basically a self-adhesive polyester film that is applied to the interior surface of glass. It’s used as a “retrofit” for existing glass on automobiles, homes and commercial buildings in order to upgrade solar control and safety.
Why Window Film?
- To Decrease Heat
- To Reduce Fading & Health Risks
- To Cut Glare
- To Enjoy Energy Savings
- To Increase Safety
- To Enhance Appearance
- It’s Fast & Easy
What Are the Benefits of Window Film for Automotive, Residential & Commercial Glass?
- All Window Films Offer 99 Percent Ultraviolet Light Reduction
- Increased Shatter Resistance
- Scratch-Resistant Hard Coating Protects
- Significantly Reduced Solar Heat Gain
- Glare Reduction
- Daytime Privacy
- Attractive Accent to Home & Business Windows
- Lower Energy Demands from Utilities
How Long Does It Take To Install Film?
It all depends on the size of the job as well as what needs to be tinted. When you use a qualified, professional window film install, the minimal time will take anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
How Does Window Film Work?
Solar radiation is divided into three components: visible light, and infrared and ultraviolet rays, which we can only feel. As solar radiation strikes a piece of glass, window film acts as a sunscreen to block harmful UV rays as well as regulate the levels of heat and light passing through the glass. The amount of heat and light rejected is dependant on the type of window film selected.
How Do You Care for & Maintain Window Film?
Once the window film has been installed, it’s very common to see a slight haziness and / or small water pockets — this is called curing. Depending on the film type and weather conditions, it may take up to 30 days for the film to be fully cured. Once the film is dry and cured, at that point it’s safe for the film to be cleaned. The best solution is water and a small amount of soap. Clean the window and then squeegee dry with overlapping strokes as you would clean the outside of the window. You may also clean the film surface with any normal-strength glass cleaner. Products with ammonia will not damage the film if used in reasonable amounts, and if the film is not left to soak in it. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, industrial-strength glass cleaners and or any other window cleaning tools that may scratch the window film. Remember, the surface of the film is coated with a scratch-resistant, not scratchproof, coating.
Will Window Film Really Stop Fading of Fabrics?
No window films can eliminate fading. However, it can offer maximum protection from fading due to ultraviolet light and solar heat.
How Long Will Film Last?
The time frame varies by the type of film, type of glass, window construction, and compass orientation of glass. All quality window films for residential and commercial use are warranted by the film manufacturers.
Does Safety & Security Film Prevent the Glass from Breaking?
No. It does an excellent job at holding broken glass together, but it cannot prevent the window from breaking if it comes in contact with a severe force.
What is VentureShield?
VentureShield is the toughest chip-protection film on the market. Combining excellent elastic properties and optical clarity with a high-shear and high-tack adhesive, VentureShield is twice as stone resistant as the leading competitor.
Will It Diminish the Appearance of My Vehicle?
VentureShield will protect your vehicle for years, remaining virtually invisible.
Can VentureShield be Washed & Waxed?
Yes, you may wash and wax your vehicle as if VentureShield were not present.
Will My Vehicle Fade Under the Sun?
Yes, VentureShield film is UV stable, but will allow UV rays to penetrate. This feature eliminates the problem of two shades of paint that results from traditional car “bras.”
If I Sell My Vehicle, Can VentureShield Be Removed?
Yes, VentureShield uses a patented acrylic adhesive that can be safely removed without residue, leaving your vehicle looking as great as the day you bought it.
