  • What is window film?

    Window film is a thin, multi-layered polyester material that incorporates many different layers to control properties such as Ultra-Violet (UV) light, heat, glare, and privacy. Window film comes in a variety of performance levels and shades, and our home window tinting service in McDonough, GA offers solutions tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
  • What are the benefits of window film?

According to Buildings, effective window film can reduce energy consumption by 30% or more. Our home window tinting services in McDonough, GA make it easy to enjoy all these advantages while improving the comfort and efficiency of your home.
  • What do the different levels of film mean?

    Film percentages stand for light transmission, or the amount of light that is allowed through the film. The lower the percentage, the darker the film. Our home window tinting service in McDonough, GA can help you choose the right film percentage to match your preferences for light, privacy, and appearance.
  • Is the film applied on the inside or the outside of the window?

    In most cases, window film is installed on the inside of the glass. This allows for maximum durability, and our home window tinting service in McDonough, GA follows this best practice to deliver long-lasting results.
  • How does window film lower energy costs?

    In the summer, window film reflects sunlight entering through the windows, lowering air conditioning costs. According to our experience, in winter, some films add an insulative effect to windows, up to 33%; this helps keep more of the heat in, saving you money year after year, which is one of the key benefits of investing in home window tinting services in McDonough, GA.
  • If my window film is damaged/scratched can it be fixed?

    Damaged window film cannot be repaired, but the damaged piece of film can be removed and the glass can be retinted with the help of our home window tinting service in McDonough, GA.
  • Why would I need to block UV rays coming in my windows?

    The same sun that brightens a room's interior can be detrimental to fabrics, furnishings, artwork, and rugs. Ultraviolet rays are the main cause of both fade and deterioration. According to our experience, window films can screen out 99% of the damaging UV rays that can fade richly colored furniture, tapestries, and artwork. Heat and light also play a part in fading, which makes window film an ideal solution, and our home window tinting services in McDonough, GA help protect your belongings from all three sources of damage.
  • Can window film help with privacy?

    Yes. Window films give a clear view to the outside. Depending on the degree of privacy desired, you can select films that prevent others from looking in during the daytime.
  • Can window film increase safety and security?

    Yes, window film adds a degree of shatter resistance to the glass areas of your home, building, or vehicle. These films bond to glass and help hold dangerous glass fragments in place, should breakage occur due to accident, natural disaster, or illegal entry. Additionally, there is dedicated security film that meets several safety regulatory standards.

  • Can I get window film if my glass already has a tint/Low-e coating on it?

    Yes, it is always possible to remove an old film from the glass and install a new one. If the window itself is tinted, or has a low-e coating, film can be applied to this glass as well and provide further benefits those applications aren't providing, and our home window tinting service in McDonough, GA can handle the removal and installation professionally.
