It’s a brand new year and like many of you– we believe 2021 is a time for change! So, for our New Year’s resolution, we have chosen to set the record straight on window film myths that plague the industry. We want potential customers to understand just how effective window film is and just what it does and doesn’t do. Below you will find some of the common misconceptions about window tinting and what is actually true about this spectacular technology.
Why Film Misconceptions Vs. Reality
Window Film Myth: Window Film Is Permanent
Window Film Fact: Window film is incredibly simple to put on and just as easy to take off. It is also completely non-toxic. Adhered with a water-soluble adhesive, in most cases, it can be both applied or removed in one day!
Window Film Myth: Window Film Will Harm Windows
Window Film Fact: Since window film is applied using a non-toxic water-based adhesive– it just peels right off when you need it to. Should you decide you no longer want window film, or when it is time for new film, it can simply be peeled off–with no residue. We suggest calling a certified window film professional, like us, to get it removed efficiently.
Window Film Myth: Window Film Will Darken Windows
Window Film Fact: Window film technology has changed dramatically over the years. The days of dark, gaudy metallic films that darken windows and obscure views are over and a new era of perfect clarity is here. Today’s window film is made of high-tech materials (like ceramic) that absorb the harmful rays of the sun and let in innocuous ones. Also, these “spectrally selective” films let through as much visible light as you choose–leaving your windows crystal clear.
Window Film Myth: Window Film Is Very Expensive
Window Film Fact: Dollar for dollar, window film is one of the most cost-effective home improvements to invest in. It almost always pays for itself in as little as three years due to the fact it saves you up to 30% in utilities monthly. Add to this the fact it lowers costly HVAC repairs and greatly increases the comfort of your home and the already low cost of window film on your Colorado Springs home is totally worth it.
