Window Film Varieties & Benefits

Window film advantages for Austin residential and commercial properties are wide-reaching. The right film can save on energy bills, protect furnishings, make interiors more comfortable, deter crime, and even save lives. Window film blocks the sun while also providing privacy, glare reduction, and more!

Energy-efficient window film

Our energy-efficient window films significantly reduce solar heat gain, lowering air conditioning costs by up to 30%. Solar control films block infrared light while maintaining visibility as heat-blocking. Additionally, our llow-E film allows you to maintain consistent indoor temperatures year-round for enhanced comfort. The films have a quick return on investment through energy savings.

Safety and security window film

With a crime rate of 41 per one thousand residents, security is a major concern for many Austin homeowners and businesses. Our security window films deter break-ins by reinforcing glass. Also called break-resistant, or shatter-resistant film, these films are designed with the main goal of preventing shattering. Serving as an affordable alternative to tempered glass, the films also help strengthen glass to reduce the risk of breakage and can help bring properties up to code. They also make it more difficult for intruders to gain entry by smashing windows. Security films help protect occupants and valuables alike!

Privacy window film

Privacy window films enhance discretion in Austin homes and commercial spaces. Privacy tints block views of room interiors during the day while still allowing natural light transmission. From reflective films that work like mirrors to frosted decorative privacy window films that diffuse light, we offer several options to meet your privacy needs. These films are perfect for bathrooms, conference rooms, exam rooms, and anywhere else you desire discretion.

Glare window film

If glare is an issue in your Austin property, our glare control window films can cut up to 95% of incoming glare for enhanced visibility and comfort. By diffusing harsh light, anti-glare films create a more comfortable interior environment that reduces eye strain. These films are excellent solutions for Austin offices, schools, retail stores, and homes.

UV/Fading window film

Harmful ultraviolet rays can damage skin, eyes, immune function, and furnishings. Our UV protection window films protect Austin interiors by blocking up to 99% of UV rays from entering your home or business as effective fade-resistant film. This helps guard against skin damage, eye disease, premature aging, discoloration, and fading of furniture, paintings, photographs, wood surfaces, and fabrics. Protect your health and surroundings with UV filtering films.

Decorative window film

Decorative window films allow you to add style to any space in Austin. We offer decorative tints with colorful gradients, textures, etched and frost patterns, geometric shapes, and more to give your home or business a custom look. These striking decorative glass window films can enhance privacy as well!

Bird safety window film

Bird collisions with untreated glass cause millions of bird deaths per year nationwide. Our specialized bird-friendly films feature visible markers that alert birds to the presence of glass. The patterns look like decorative designs or abstract lines from the outside but are mostly transparent from interior views. Bird-safe films can prevent unnecessary bird casualties while allowing you to appreciate nature.

Bomb blast window film

Though rare, a bomb blast can cause severe building damage and injuries. For high-security facilities in Austin, our blast-resistant window films provide incredible strength to resist glass shattering from explosions. Blast-deflecting window films work by absorbing and dissipating blast energy and reducing fragmentation. These films can be lifesaving in the event of an intentional or accidental explosion.

Ballistic resistant window film

For locations requiring bullet resistance like banks or schools, we recommend ballistic-resistant window film. We install UL 752 or NIJ Level I-III certified ballistic window films like C-Bond to protect against varying levels of ballistic impact. Bullet-resistant films catch glass fragments when hit by bullets and delay entry. They comply with the highest industry standards for proven reliability.

Anti-graffiti window film

Vandalism and graffiti can quickly ruin aesthetics. Our anti-graffiti films and graffiti-proof coatings protect Austin glass surfaces against damage from paint, markers, stickers, dirt, and grime. Because these films are non-permanent and replaceable, most graffiti can be removed easily without harming the underlying surface or substrate. This saves money by avoiding the high cost of surface replacement.

Mirror/Metal restoration

Over time, mirrors and metal surfaces like elevator doors can corrode, oxidize, and lose reflectivity. What’s more, these areas are highly prone to vandalism and can create burdensome expenses for business owners and schools. Rather than undergoing expensive tear-out and replacement, we restore these surfaces with custom surface films. We offer metal restoration films ideal for elevators, appliances, and more as well as reflective films ideal for refinishing mirrors. Our restoration films enhance aesthetics, safely protect original substrates, and extend the lifespan of metal and mirrors.

Exterior resurfacing

As an affordable alternative to re-siding or resurfacing, our exterior window films allow you to transform the entire look of your Austin building’s facade. These outdoor window films add color, texture, and patterns to refresh dated exteriors. They provide excellent ROI by boosting aesthetics and curb appeal and can also help reduce energy use. We offer a diverse selection of finishes to match any commercial building aesthetic.

Building wraps, branded, and promotional window film

Window films like printed window film and window wraps also provide excellent branding, messaging, and promotional opportunities. Building wraps with custom graphics make your Austin business location highly visible. Point-of-purchase window displays engage passersby. Frosted films allow for backlighting to highlight messages and imagery. We help you maximize your visual marketing potential.

Elevator restoration

Over time, elevator doors and interior surfaces become marred by fingerprints, scratches, and dents. Rather than replacement, our elevator metal refinishing and restoration films restore these surfaces affordably. Applied films protect against future damage and can be used for control panels, glass elevators, metal elevators, elevator doors and ceilings, and more. They refresh the look of your elevator, hide existing flaws, and enhance aesthetics for an improved experience.
