    Window Tinting – Window Tint – Window Film

    WINDOW FILM or WINDOW TINT is constructed of two micro-thin sheets of polyester material that are essentially laminated together. Between the two sheets, a coating of finally ground, microscopic particles (not visible to the naked eye) are embedded. These particles are typically made up from standard metals such as aluminum, precious metals or high tech dyes through one of several very high technology processes. These particles or chemicals are the materials that form the defense against the sun’s damaging rays. Older technology WINDOW TINT or WINDOW FILM was dyed with a coating that faded quickly. The new technology films hold their original color for years and are warranted for the lifetime of the glass.

    The films are adhered to the glass by either a dry adhesion chemical bond or a special glue-based physical bond. Both these methods are designed to last a long time. Optically clear and ranging from dark in color to reflective to almost undetectable, Window Genie can provide you with a WINDOW FILM or WINDOW TINT that will both satisfy your tastes and solve your sun related problems. Window Genie can provide WINDOW TINTING from several major WINDOW FILM manufacturers to meet your needs. All of our WINDOW FILM comes with a lifetime residential warrantee and can add beauty and value to your home while protecting it from fading, heat and glare.

    FADING

    All WINDOW FILM that Window Genie installs provides 99% protection from the suns harmful UV rays. Most people don’t know that UV rays only contribute 40% to the fading process. Solar heat (from the sun) and visible light (mostly from the sun) each contribute an additional 25% to fading. Left unprotected, the suns harsh rays are working full time to damage your hardwood floors, expensive furniture and even your artwork and other valuable possessions.  Properly selected WINDOW TINTING can significantly reduce fading by virtually eliminating UV and reducing the suns heat and visible light before it enters your home.

    Glare

    If you have a dining room table or favorite chair located so you can look out of windows or a patio door facing South, West or East you have probably had times where the glare from the sun is blinding and forces you to move or avert your eyes.  Or maybe you have a television or computer screen that is positioned so that you get an annoying glare on the screen at certain times of the day. This glare or white-light can cause a room to become uncomfortable and annoying to be in. When it comes to your home, you want to take full advantage of the style and ambiance that you created. Glare often times requires that blinds or drapes be drawn to make the room feel livable. Doing so eliminates the view and requires the constant adjusting of the window treatments. The addition of window film can cut down on the glare while still allowing for a clear view of the outside. Properly selected window film can blend with the style of your home, adding to it a look and feel that actually complements the overall décor.

    HEAT BUILDUP – HOT ROOMS – ENERGY SAVINGS

    If you have rooms facing east, west or south and have a windows and/or patio doors in those rooms, there’s a good chance that either your air conditioning is working hard to make those rooms comfortable, your keeping your window coverings closed in the daytime or those rooms get very warm, if not hot.
