Residential Window Film Benefits
Many homeowners overlook the significant impact their windows can have on their homes aesthetics, comfort, and expenses. While windows bring in natural light, they can also cause glares, fade furniture, and drive up energy costs. Fortunately, you can mitigate these issues and amplify the benefits by using UV window films designed for residential use.
​
Outdoor exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can accelerate skin aging and increase the risk of skin cancer. Yet, UV rays penetrate through windows, exposing you indoors as well. We offer solar control films to provide immediate protection against these harmful rays.

AD specializes in window glare control and UV reduction, setting new standards for quality and efficiency with its residential solar window films. Your home should be a sanctuary, free from glare and UV harm.
Reduce Heat & Lower Electricity
When energy from the sun hits your window, some of the solar energy is soaked up and some is reflected by the window, but a majority of it passes through the glass which heats up your home throughout the day.
According to the NFRC, "Each year, the average American household spends $1,500-$2,500 on energy bills. 45% of that cost is for heating and cooling." Our window film naturally keeps your home cooler in the summer by blocking over twice as much solar energy as untreated glass.
In fact, many energy providers even offer rebates for making your home more energy efficient. Add window film to your home to start saving money by using less electricity during the hottest part of the day (and year).
Block UV Rays & Reduce Sun Fading
Without UV window film, your artwork, wood floors, furniture and decorations are all at risk of sun fading from UVA and UVB rays. Ultraviolet radiation is the greatest cause of sun fading in homes, so preserve your valuables by preventing UV light from getting in.
​
Unfortunately, UV light isn’t the only culprit when it comes to sun fading. Sun fading is also caused by heat build up, sunlight, and UV light. Fortunately, solar control film protects your belongings from all three! You’ll not only enjoy cooler rooms but your belongings will last longer and look better.
Reduce Glare from the Sun
Sun glare on computers and TV screens force you to watch movies in the dark. Window film blocks the bulk of harsh sunlight throughout the day so your screens are always vibrant and clear.
Solar control film also helps reduce painful glare that reflects off of outside surfaces like cars, windows, and water. Stop squinting, rotating your screen, or drawing the curtains.
Security
Whenever privacy is increased, so is security. In the same way that tinted glass windows or door glass offer increased privacy, they also offer increased security. This is because the details of valuable items or confidential paperwork are hidden from view by the dark glass. When such details are hidden from view, it deters someone from wanting to break in and steal them.
If break-ins or people looking into your space are a concern, then tinted glass is a great glass option to consider. Plus, if you choose tinted toughened glass, such as laminated glass or tempered glass, you’ll increase your security that much more. Laminated glass and tempered glass are much stronger than tinted float glass or annealed glass, making them substantially harder to break.
With tinted toughened glass, you can increase the security of your space, ultimately making the area feel safer and more comfortable.
