Sun Control Film Benefits

Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial use, sun control films provide multiple benefits, including energy savings, increased privacy, and protection from harmful UV rays.

Unlike some window treatments, it preserves natural light while filtering out harmful UV rays that can cause fading in furniture, flooring, and artwork. Plus, with its nearly invisible design, it adds these benefits without changing the look of your windows, making it a seamless upgrade for any space.

Why Choose Sun Control Film?

Glare Reduction

Cuts up to 90% of glare for better screen visibility.

Fade Protection

Blocks 99.9% of UV rays, preserving furniture and flooring.

Energy Savings

Reduces solar heat gain by up to 66%.

Heat Retention

Minimizes winter heat loss by up to 26%.

Improved Comfort and Energy Efficiency

One of the main advantages of sun control film is its ability to regulate indoor temperatures, creating a more comfortable living or working environment. During the hot summer months, it can significantly reduce the amount of heat entering a building, while in winter, it helps retain warmth. By decreasing solar heat gain by up to 66% and reducing heat loss by up to 26%, sun control film plays a crucial role in lowering energy consumption, especially in buildings with large windows or areas that receive a lot of direct sunlight.

Protection Against Fading

Ultraviolet (UV) rays are a major contributor to the fading of furniture, flooring, and artwork. Over time, exposure to UV rays can cause colors to degrade, leaving interiors looking worn and outdated. Sun control films block 99.9% of harmful UV radiation, providing an effective barrier against fading. In addition to UV rays, the film also helps reduce the impact of visible light and heat, further protecting interior furnishings and surfaces from deterioration.

Glare Reduction for Comfort

Sun control films are particularly beneficial in spaces with a lot of natural light, where glare from the sun can be disruptive. The film helps reduce glare from digital devices, computer screens, and reflective surfaces, improving visual comfort and productivity. Whether in offices, homes, or entertainment areas, reducing glare makes it easier to view screens and enhances overall comfort throughout the day.

Enhanced Privacy and Security

Sun control films are also effective at increasing daytime privacy by blocking the view from the outside without sacrificing natural light. The film prevents onlookers from seeing into your space while allowing you to enjoy unobstructed views from within. Available in both reflective and non-reflective options, you can choose the level of privacy that fits your preferences. This is especially beneficial in urban settings or in areas where your windows face the street or public spaces.

Maximize Energy Efficiency with Sun Control Film

Summer

Rejects excess heat, keeping indoor spaces cool.

Winter

Minimizes heat loss, helping maintain a steady indoor temperature.

Year-Round Benefits

Reduces strain on HVAC systems, lowering energy bills.

Interior and Exterior Application Options

When it comes to sun control film installation, there are two primary options: interior and exterior application. Exterior films are typically more effective at blocking heat before it reaches the glass, offering superior heat rejection performance. Interior films are easier to install and may be preferred for aesthetic reasons or when exterior installation is not feasible. Both options provide energy-saving benefits, but the best choice depends on the specific needs and layout of your building.

Testimonials

Our Customers Love Our Services and Support

I love my windows even more. I appreciate the professionalism and their impeccable care for detail. I noticed immediately the change in coolness. Where my floors were hot from the sun are now pretty much the same temperature as where the sun doesn’t hit. On another note these young men are hard working, pleasant, well mannered, honest and respectable. Their mamas raised them well. They showed great care for our property and cleaned up after themselves as I would myself. I would highly recommend them and am thankful for the product and their conscientious care.

Kim Heddon

Had two professional gentlemen out to our home today. They installed film on my large windows and glass doors. Some of the windows were quite high but they managed the difficulty with ease. They arrived as scheduled and treated our home with care and respect. We anticipate having them do some additional work for us. We are looking forward to not worrying about our floors and furniture being bleached by the strong rays of the sun. In addition we are looking forward to enjoying the benefits of being able to see our TV screen on sunny days as well as the heating / cooling benefits. Thanks for answering all our questions and helpful advice making our home more comfortable.

Larry Goodman

Typically the temp in my house has been set to 23C / 74F. This left the upstairs temp at 28C / 82F. Once the 3M film was installed upstairs, the temp upstairs never rose above 24C / 75F which is only 1 degree higher than the house setting. Not only the advantage of the product - the installation was done with exceptional quality and very personable installers. Great company to work with and great product as well - what more can you ask for.

Kevin Smith

Came to give a quote without wait. The job was done meticulously. Ash was hard at work making sure everything was perfect. This was the second job. I did all my south facing windows. You could feel the difference immediately. I would suggest it to anyone with South or West facing windows. Why block your view with window blinds when you can have window film installed?

Marie-helene Gagnon

We needed our south facing windows tinted on our new home to block out the heat coming in. Amazing product and excellent service. Dan is a fantastic installer and great guy! The final result is incredible! So glad we decided to get this done. Helps save on the AC running overtime. 100% would recommend to anyone!

Steven Day

We had a semi-circle window covered to block light from entering a bedroom. It worked better than blinds due to the shape - no gaps for light to enter. It will keep the room dark and cool, but the outside aesthetic of the house is still good. Wonderful professional group of people. On time, on budget.

Marie Schmidt

I found Urban Window Films to be a reputable company that does high-quality work. They were very responsive on the quote and getting the work scheduled. Their work was good quality, and they were quick and cleaned up well afterward. The windows look great. I would recommend them to anyone.

Bill Mcgoey

Urban Window films completely transformed our house. We previously had totally clear windows which offered zero privacy day or night, and no heat control. Dan's expertise allowed us to not only select the correct product, but we came in under budget - allowing us to do the entire house! We LOVE the increased privacy. The "HD" look our glass now has from the inside out is like having a great pair of sunglasses for the house. The 3M product's incredible warranty makes us know our investment is safe.

TanktheRam

Professional company! Highly recommend and straight forward to book with. Thank you for getting the job done right and on time as originally scheduled. Wendy has been easy to work with and accommodating to a last minute addition to the original job.

Pat Miazga

Had the pleasure of dealing with Dan on some tinting that was required for our home. He was very knowledgeable and great to deal with. The installation was well done and we are extremely happy with the end result. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend others to Urban Window Films.

Brian Burton

Had a beautiful experience with Urban windows. Right on time. Very polite, helped me in removing the heavy furniture. Totally hassle-free. Would strongly recommend them.

Laggan Singh

We are very pleased with the work, excellent all the way through. My husband is a tradesman and he was very impressed with the installers and their work. We will gladly recommend them. 5 stars throughout.

Stephen Alderson

Dan came out on time for our appointment. Measured the windows, gave us more information on the window film product for application. We made an appointment date for installation. Dan was here again on time, installed the film to the windows, no problem, no worries. Very professional, thanks Unban Window Films and thanks Dan.
