How long does the process take?
A: It all depends on the situation. Most residential window film installs can be completed in a few hours. However, if your windows are hard to reach or there’s a large amount of glass, it could take longer. Window films usually take about 2-4 weeks to fully cure and reach total clarity.
How much money will I save?
A: Homeowners can save up to 30% on energy costs with window film, but every home is different. Outside factors may influence your ROI including sun orientation and exposure, square footage of your home, environmental conditions and weather, etc.
Is window film better than replacement windows?
A: Windows with window film tend to perform better than untreated single pane windows. Double pane windows can provide similar results, but the ROI takes years longer. Also, new windows are typically not recommended for historic properties.
