The heat this summer has been record-breaking. Many homeowners (and businesses) are looking for ways to beat both the heat and the high energy bills. Architectural Glass Solutions can help with both.
A Frisco, Texas homeowner contacted us, unsure of what options might be best: new blinds, solar screens, and/or window tinting with solar film. As a specialist in all three areas, Architectural Glass Solutions was able to advise on the best possible solution. Home window tinting with solar film is the best solution for heat and UV light control, hands-down.
After installing new solar film on the windows in just a few rooms, the homeowner could already feel a considerable difference in home temperature. Reduction in room temperature and solar heating has a direct impact on cooling costs. It reduces the load on air conditioners and allows them to function more efficiently, which also extends the life of the unit. The best part is that the energy cost savings will continue summer after summer, providing a quick return on investment. All while staying cool in the heat.
This homeowner did choose the strongest reflective film, Optitune 15, for maximum heat rejection. While still attractive, this film does have a more reflective look than our other home solar film products. It also has the biggest impact. Applied to dual pane windows it has greater than 80% heat rejection and greater than 99.9% UV rejection. (UV rejection means less fading of floors, window treatments and upholstery.) With a Lifetime Manufacturers Warranty on film and labor, solar film is an obvious and elegant solution to the hot Texas sun, and provides year-round protection and energy saving.
