In home building, meeting the delicate balance between functionality and aesthetics is an art. Architectural Glass Solutions recently undertook a project that perfectly exemplifies this delicate equilibrium – a custom solution for a custom home, where the challenge was to reduce heat, UV rays, and glare without compromising the home’s appearance or transforming its windows into dark, mirrored panes.
We received a referral from a well-regarded custom home builder, who entrusted us with a client’s unique request. The client’s primary concern revolved around safeguarding their exquisite wood floors and area rugs from the damaging effects of heat and UV rays while maintaining the open, airy ambiance created by their expansive windows.
At Architectural Glass Solutions, we pride ourselves on offering tailored solutions, and in this case, we had just the right set of options to meet our client’s needs. After careful consideration, the customer opted for Optitune 40 by Avery Dennison – a stellar choice that seamlessly blends protection with a virtually-clear aesthetic.
Optitune 40 boasts an impressive 99.9% UV blockage, providing robust defense against the harmful rays that can wreak havoc on interior furnishings. Beyond UV protection, this high-performance film significantly reduces the load on the air conditioning system, ensuring energy efficiency by allowing over 50% less heat to pass through the windows.
One standout feature of Optitune 40 is its ability to enhance the view outside the glass. Rather than obstructing the scenery, the film accentuates the natural beauty by highlighting blues and greens, all while mitigating glare. This creates a polarized view for homeowners, offering them a unique and enjoyable perspective of their surroundings.
Another noteworthy aspect is the compatibility of Optitune 40 with virtually all types of double-pane glass commonly found in residential settings. This versatility ensures that our solution can be seamlessly applied to a variety of homes, meeting the diverse needs of our clientele.
To provide our clients with peace of mind, both in terms of product performance and installation, Architectural Glass Solutions is proud to share that the Optitune 40 film, along with our expert labor, is warranted by the manufacturer for a lifetime in residential applications. This commitment underscores our dedication to delivering lasting quality and satisfaction to our customers.
Like all our solar film options, Optitune 40 residential solar film stands as a testament to the marriage of form and function. With its stellar UV protection, heat reduction capabilities, and ability to enhance views, it proves that architectural solutions can be both practical and visually appealing. At Architectural Glass Solutions, we provide innovative ways to create spaces that not only protect, but also elevate, the living experience. Contact us today to find your solution.
