Window films can help reduce energy costs by blocking unwanted heat during the warm months, while keeping heat in when you need it. Eliminating hot and cold spots also helps reduce excess use of HVAC equipment, prolonging its life.

In most cases, window manufacturers will void their warranty if you install film, viewing film as a “modification to their product.” If you have a warranty in place, LLumar offers a comparable warranty that matches the exact terms and conditions of your current window warranty.

It’s possible to clean almost any kind of window film using a non-abrasive solution. Wiping with paper towels is not recommended, as they can have wood fibers, which may scratch the film. A soft cotton cloth or a window squeegee is your best bet.

Window films come in a variety of colors, shades and densities, including clear, that offer a variety of options to suit your needs. In most cases, even a lightly tinted film can offer impressive solar performance.

Advances in technology have allowed manufacturers to offer lifetime warranties to homeowners and 10-15 year warranties to commercial clients. Often, the usable life far outlasts the warranty coverage period and offers protection for many years beyond the expiration of the warranty.

Yes, you can – but, no surprise here, we don’t recommend it! Film and glass combinations, difficult installation, and buying a quality product with a quality warranty are key components to any home improvement purchase. Working with a longstanding, knowledgeable company that offers quality products makes sense when considering window film application, so you can be sure everything is installed to your liking.

Blinds offer great protection against glare but are susceptible to ultraviolet light damage and leave you feeling like you’re living in a cave. In addition, blinds only serve to slow the transmission of solar heat; the heat seeps around the edges and through the cracks into your space. Window film allows you to leave the window treatments open and helps prolong their life.

Great advances have been made with Low-E windows; however, these only block a portion of damaging UV rays and help keep heat in during the winter months.

Decorative films, while similar in appearance, offer many advantages over traditional etched or sandblasted glass. For starters, films are generally significantly less expensive than traditional glass-altering treatments. They are also stronger, more durable, easier to clean, highly customizable and removable. In many cases, decorative films are now specified by architects over traditional acid etching or sandblasting techniques.
