We carry a variety of Maxpro window films that allow for different levels of privacy, including some that provide privacy at night. However, the privacy that window film provides is highly dependent on the lighting inside and outside of the space. The window film you ultimately select will depend on the amount of privacy and natural light you want in your home or commercial space.

Different polyesters are transformed during the manufacturing process to produce a thin, transparent film that adheres to glass when a pressure sensitive adhesive is activated by a mild solution of detergent free soap and water.

For instance, if complete privacy day or night is your primary concern, a decorative film with a frosted finish is a great choice. Decorative Window Films offer a variety of opacity levels, including frosted films that are completely opaque. This would allow for privacy no matter the time of day or level of light. On the other hand, if natural light during the day is important for your space, you may opt for a tinted or reflective film. Tinted window films allow for privacy or reflectivity during the day and allow more natural light into the space than an opaque frosted film. However, tinted films won’t offer any privacy at night if the lights are on inside. Privacy during the day is based on light manipulation, since the greatest light source is inside rather than outside, those outside will be able to see directly inside if the lights are on. Putting spotlights outside directed at the windows could help offer some privacy at night with tinted/reflective films but it will not be absolute as it is during the day.

Decorative and Privacy Window Films come in a variety of colors, patterns, and opacity levels. Create minimal privacy with a striped pattern that still permits natural light to enter your space. On the other hand, if you’re looking for complete privacy, you might select a frosted film. The opacity of the frosted film will provide privacy to your space no matter the time of day.

When it comes to window film, we are equipped with the knowledge and expertise necessary to assist customers in finding the perfect film for their space.

Security window film is a clear film 8-mm or thicker that is applied directly to windows and attaches with a strong adhesive. Because windows are the most vulnerable point of residential or commercial spaces, they can pose many threats to people and property inside. Security window film is used to fortify windows, acting as an extra layer of protection.

It helps hold glass fragments together and maintain a stronger barrier if a window is broken. This buys extra time to react in the event of an emergency and reduces harm and damage from flying shards of glass.

A window without security window film applied is easily breakable. For instance, in the event of a break-in, the burglar can easily gain access to your space in seconds by simply smashing the window. With Safety and Security Window Film applied, breaking the glass of windows and doors is a lot more difficult. Due to its anti-fragmentation properties. When glass is struck, instead of shattering and falling to the ground, window film can hold the glass fragments in place.

These films are available in mirror-like reflective, tinted or, most popularly, optically clear finishes. With security window film, your space is prepared and protected for unexpected events like natural disasters, break-ins, and other dangerous scenarios.

Solar window film, or sun control window film, is a 2-mm film applied to glass to help combat the negative side effects of the sun, whether that’s glare, solar heat, or fading caused by UV rays. It provides these benefits while still allowing natural light to enter your space. With many different shades of tint to choose from, from nearly transparent and natural-looking to a darker film, you can achieve sun control with solar window film.

Making Your Own Cleaning Solution:

While you can certainly use store-bought cleaners such as Windex or Stoner Invisible Glass Premium Glass Spray, you can also make your own window film cleaning solution at home. To create your own window film cleaning solution, you will need the following items:

• A soft sponge
• A large bowl or small bucket filled with warm water
• A squeegee
• Mild, liquid dish soap
• A lint-free towel

Cleaning Process:

Once you’ve gathered your supplies, to clean the window film, follow these simple steps:

• 1. Squirt a small amount of dish soap into your bowl or bucket. Then, mix the soap and water until bubbles form.
• 2. Next, make small, circular motions using the soft sponge. Be careful to avoid too much liquid around the edges of the frame, as this is where the film ends on the glass.
• 3. Once you’ve applied the solution to the glass, use the squeegee to wipe away excess solution in a straight line, overlapping each stroke as you make your way across the window. This is to avoid streaking once the solution dries.
• 4. Once you’ve cleaned your windows and wiped off the excess solution with the squeegee, use your lint-free towel to wipe the solution from the bottom of the window frames. If streaking should occur, follow up with a gentle glass cleaner such as Windex.

Whether you use a store-bought cleaning solution or make your own, it’s important to use a non-abrasive cleaning tool to ensure your film isn’t scratched or damaged. Maintaining beautiful, crystal-clear window film is simple with the proper cleaning process and tools!

One of the most notable benefits of window film is its ability to improve the energy efficiency of your space. While windows offer natural light, they are also one of the least energy-efficient parts of a space. Window film improves the energy efficiency of your existing glass by blocking the sun’s heat-causing infrared light and UV rays while allowing visible light to brighten your space.

Many don’t realize that the sun can bring numerous problems such as glare and higher indoor temperatures. An estimated 28% of cooling expenses are due to solar heat gain through windows. In turn, HVAC systems must work hard to maintain a comfortable interior temperature, raising energy bills and shortening the life of your HVAC system. Window film can reject up to 97% of the sun’s infrared heat, up to 99.9% of ultraviolet rays, and reduce glare. In turn, energy bills are reduced, occupant comfort is improved, and years can be added to the life of HVAC systems since they don’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. Best of all, you can expect to see a return on investment from installing window film in as little as 3 years.

Window film is a thin, transparent film that adheres to glass and can be installed on windows in both commercial and residential spaces. There are many reasons why homeowners and business owners choose to use window film to improve the performance of windows, including:

• Temperature control
• Improved safety and security
• UV protection
• Increased privacy
• Enhanced aesthetics

While windows allow for natural lighting and outdoor views, the sun coming through windows can cause hot spots and glare; not to mention, damage from UV rays and solar heat. Window film offers solutions to problems like glare reduction and UV protection, without blocking views of the outside as curtains or blinds would. There are a variety of window film options, each addressing different challenges that windows can pose to a building and its occupants.

Because of its easy application process, affordability, and the effective solutions it provides, window film is a popular option for both homes and offices where there is a desire to improve safety, minimize glare and solar heat gain, or increase the level of privacy. Also, window film addresses problems that the traditional solution of blinds and curtains may not be able to, such as glare and heat reduction and UV protection. If you’re looking for a way to minimize glare and reduce the fading of furnishings from harmful UV rays, without blocking your view from the window, window film is an ideal solution. By helping to control interior temperatures, window film leads to energy savings. From improved safety and security and sun control to decorative and privacy purposes, window film addresses many problems in a way that blinds and curtains cannot, making it a cost-effective and beneficial solution for residential and commercial spaces.
