Updating Your Windows with Heat Control Window Film in Dallas

Updating Your Windows with Heat Control Window Film in Dallas

Sometimes, replacing windows isn’t practical. New windows can be expensive and if you have to replace more than one, you may find that the total cost is more than you can afford. In a historic home or building, the property owner may not want to remove their windows because they want to preserve the original architecture. In such cases, window films can act as an alternative solution for updating windows and improving their energy efficiency.

In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of heat control window film in Dallas and what to expect for the window tinting process.

Do My Windows Need to Be Updated?

As a rule of thumb, windows need to be updated once every 15 to 20 years. Here are some signs that your windows may not be performing as well as they should:

  • Your utility costs are going up
  • You can feel a draft by your windows even when they’re closed
  • You do not know the age of your windows or when they were replaced last

How Heat Control Window Film Can Help

If your windows are not performing up to speed, but the frames are still in good condition, you should consider using heat control window film to give them an update. In Dallas, heat control window films are particularly useful during the summer because of their heat and glare reducing benefits. However, they are truly an all-season product and provide many benefits during the winter too. Using window film to retrofit your windows will save you money and improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your property.

What to Expect for the Process

The process of having your windows tinted is very straightforward and requires minimal effort on your part. Here’s what it involves:

  1. Consultation – You set up an appointment for a consultation. A technician will visit your home or building, take measurements, and recommend some different types and styles of film. Then, you’ll schedule the installation.
  2. Preparation – Your tinting company will prepare the film beforehand so it’s ready to go for the install.
  3. Installation – The final step is installing the film. A crew of professional installers will arrive with the film already pre-cut and ready to go. Then, they’ll clean your windows, apply primer, and add the film. The film is then given the opportunity to dry and set. Once it does, it is considered to be fully installed and you can enjoy the benefits.
