Straight, specialist answers to the questions we hear most, so you can pick the right window film for your glass. Written by the team that fits it.
The questions almost every client asks before choosing a film.
What TSER and infrared really mean, how much cooler a room gets, and which films cut the heat without going dark.
When film pays off, when it does not, what it costs, and whether it is safe for your glass.
What moves the price, how dyed, metallic and ceramic differ, and why a darker film is not a cooler one.
Per-square-foot rates, the GST-and-fitting formula, and value-to-premium price bands.
Sun control, ceramic, finishes, and the spaces that overheat the most.
Why fabric only stops the sun after it is already heat in the room, and what each option is genuinely good at.
How ceramic blocks heat without metal or a dark tint, and whether nano-ceramic is any different.
How each finish looks and performs, including what locals call "mercury" film.
How film lowers AC load, what drives the saving, and why we estimate per building.
What actually bleaches rugs, timber and leather, and why a clear film protects as well as a dark one.
Why these spaces overheat, and how film keeps the daylight while cutting the heat.
One-way mirror, fluted glass, and film that turns private at a switch.
How daytime and night-time privacy differ between mirror and frosted, plus one-way vs two-way.
The ribbed, fluted-glass look on your existing panes, cut to size and fitted in a visit.
PDLC glass that turns clear to private at a switch, where it works, and how it is priced.
Anti-shatter film, tricky glass types, and how to look after a finished job.
What anti-shatter film does and does not do, why thickness and anchoring matter, and the truth about "bulletproof".
Why an absorbing pane still heats the room, what each option costs, and whether you can film glass that is already tinted.
Why sensitive glass needs a matched, sometimes external film to avoid thermal stress.
Realistic lifespan, what the warranty covers, and how to clean filmed glass safely.
