Window Tinting for Boca Raton Homes
Large surfaces of residential glass allow for natural daylight to enter homes, but they also raise the levels of heat and UV radiation inside homes. East and west-facing windows need special focus since they allow for the direct entry of sunlight at varying times of the day. This was studied by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), which conducted its South Florida residential research to test reflective window film on these exposures depending on the level of daylight preserved inside homes.
We consider all these factors in our services at A Perfect View Window, along with the type of glazing and room conditions.
- Reduce heat gain from solar exposure through glass.
- Filter UV rays from penetrating inside.
- Manage glare from direct exposure to sunlight.
- Protect indoor furnishings and flooring from prolonged UV exposure.
- Provide additional privacy during the daytime to specific windows.
- Allow daylighting to enter through appropriate Visible Light Transmission (VLT)
How Boca Raton’s Climate Affects Your Windows
The coastal climate of Boca Raton presents challenges for residential windows in terms of high solar radiation, high humidity, and hurricanes. The City of Boca Raton’s Wind Loads Memorandum considers the exposure of the city to hurricane-force winds. Thus, it makes sense to discuss the difference between solar film and structural performance of the window. As a residential window tinting specialist in Boca Raton, this information is significant for us when choosing and installing film.
Solar performance
Film can decrease solar radiation transmission through the glass, and the right choice will depend on the existing glazing and desired performance.
Daylight
Solar control does not necessarily mean that the film should be heavily tinted. Film can be chosen to maintain a proper daylight level.
Humidity and condensation
Given Boca Raton’s humid climate, existing glass, seals and window condition become essential prior to installation.
Existing glazing
Insulated glass, low-e coating and other glazing characteristics can be influential when choosing film.
Coastal environment
Film is not a substitute for impact-rated glazing. Storm resistance is determined by the tested window unit and installation.
Our Window Film Options for Your Boca Raton Homes
The films we have for your windows include
1
Solar film
This helps to keep off the effects of solar radiation and glare from residential glazing.
2
Spectrally selective film
The film is designed to control selected parts of the solar radiation but at the same time allow more visible light in.
3
Ceramic film
It is a non-metallic film that provides solar and glare control without having a reflective finish.
4
Privacy film
This is applicable to bathrooms, entryways, street-facing areas, and other places where controlling visibility is paramount.
5
Other special purposes
Coated or large glazing could necessitate the use of certain films according to the existing situation.
Film Selection Based on Your Glass
Not all types of residential glass need the same kind of film specification. We take into consideration the current condition of the glazing, whether these be single-pane glass or insulated glass, the Low-E coating, and the glass size when finding the film specifications. This is done so that the film will be compatible not only with the glass but also the performance of the installed film itself.
Professional Window Tint Installation in Boca Raton
Properly installed window films should look clean and clear, fit properly at the edges and provide the performance characteristics that were chosen in selecting the right window film. At A Perfect View Window, we draw on over 25 years of experience in window film installations in Boca Raton with consideration of the local conditions.
Large Glass Surfaces
Larger glass surfaces need careful measuring and handling of the film to achieve a uniform application with neat lines.
Insulated & Coated Glass
The presence of Low-E coatings, insulated and other glass options already present is considered prior to installation to make sure that the proper film is used for this glass.
Humidity & Curing
Humid conditions in South Florida affect curing times. There may be a temporary haze on the film after application that will clear during the curing process.
Proper Glass Preparation
Proper glass preparation is critical to assure a good finished result, especially on larger glass panels where little dirt spots can become very noticeable.
Application of the Film
Film is applied to individual panels on the glass surface in order to get the desired results.
