How Do We Manage Sun Exposure With Residential Window Film?
Which Windows Need the Most Solar Control?
While conducting our analysis, we focus on east and west orientations of the window, since the US Department of Energy on Daylighting has highlighted that these orientations could be more difficult in terms of managing solar heat gain and glare. We assess the orientation, current shading devices, room usage, and glass material before choosing a residential window film. This enables us to apply proper solar management based on the need of the specific area of your Coral Springs home.
How Do We Keep the Home From Becoming Too Dark?
Film selection is done through the balance between Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) and solar control. After evaluating the direction of each window, the glazing material, and the purpose of the room and its usage, we advise on the film to be used. Films with high VLT can provide daylight yet minimize the amount of solar heat entering the building. Film with low VLT gives better solar control due to higher exposure.
How Much Light Should Your Window Keep?
High VLT for bright interiors
Film with a high VLT allows more daylight to pass through the glass. We may suggest this kind of film for areas where you wish to retain an open and bright interior.
Medium VLT for moderate balancing
Medium VLT film lets in less brightness but still retains the natural daylight, without turning out too dark.
Low VLT for enhanced light blocking
Low VLT film lets in even less visible light and is great for an interior that suffers from excessive brightness, glare, and greater privacy requirements.
Selection of films for Windows
Even two windows in the same room do not have to be treated the same way. We ensure the existing glazing, size of the window, interior window shades, and surroundings of the glass before selecting the film specifications.
Maintaining daylight and solar energy
The technology of films enables us to move beyond visible darkness. The solar control films can be selected on the basis of their ability to reject solar energy while retaining relatively higher visible light transmission than “light” or “dark” tints.

What We Check Before Putting Film On The Glass?
The application of window film is not independent of the glass surface on which it is applied. In Coral Springs, depending on the insulated glass, low-e glass, laminated glass, tempered glass, and impact glass, each type of glass has its own requirement of film installation. We assess your glass surface before proceeding with the film installation in order to provide the best choice and installation for your glass.
Type of Glazing
We determine your glass type (insulated glass, laminated glass, tempered glass, low-e glass or impact glass) to provide film types that can be installed on that glass.
Coating
We determine if there are any existing low-e coatings or tint films that may affect solar heat gain and heat absorption by glass.
Condition of Glass Surface
We find if there are any defects like chipping and scratching of the glass or even seal failure on the glass surface.
Frames & Seals
We examine your frames, gaskets, seals, and available glass edges for any conditions that can impact film installation and finishing.
Solar Control Performance
Your existing glazing is reviewed against VLT, SHGC, and heat rejection capabilities to provide the desired performance from your solar control film.
Impact Rated Glazing
In cases where you have impact-rated glazing, we consider your existing system configuration and use solar control film as an enhancement, not a substitute.
