Go Green

Escalating energy costs, green architecture, climate change and severe weather patterns -- combined with the looming threat of terrorism create “perfect storm” conditions for high-performance solar and security films.   

Although energy cost management and solar control continue to be the primary purpose of window films, window films provide increased insulation performance, UV protection superior to most Low-E glass, and provide safety and protection, with the ability to mitigate the impact of seismic stress, hurricane wind debris, and explosive force.  

Reducing Energy Usage and Costs

Applying window film to flat glass surfaces – single pane, double pane, “Low-E,” or treated glass – can reduce the cost of air conditioning by 30-40%.  Window Film Depot provides free energy audits and forecasts the savings you can expect, and the pay-back terms.  Typically, installations are “self-funding” within as little as 3 to 4 years, and the savings continue for 25 years or more. 

Many power & light companies offer rebates to homes and businesses for applying window film.  Our films are Energy Star certified for reducing energy consumption.   Window Film Depot, Inc. has extensive knowledge of available rebates and tax credits.  We even facilitate rebate processing for our commercial customers.
