Non Metalized Films
In the past Window Films that used metal were susceptible to corrosion, especially in coastal environments, and interfered with mobile phone reception. The Prestige Film has no metal and as a result eliminates these problems and performs to the industry's highest standards. With Non Metalized Films your home's exterior stays beautiful and from the interior, your view is as clear as your original window
Reflective Films
The benefit of reflective films is  they reject more Solar Heat and Visible Light giving you added protection for your hardwood floors, fine fabrics, and artwork. These films do give a mirror like appearance but maximize your protection along with energy savings. At night time, when the light is greater in the inside of the room, reflective films make it difficult to see outside, thus during the daytime when the light is greater outside reflective films make it difficult to see inside. Reflective films do not give you total privacy but maximizes your protection and energy savings.
Visible Light Reflected
Window films are designed to give you added protection and do not eliminate visible light. Thus visible light will always penetrate the window film. The greater the percentage noted above the greater the glare reduction giving you more protection and higher energy efficiency.. 
UV Protection
The use of Window Film helps protect you and your home furnishings from the damaging Ultra Violet rays from the sun. Many of  3M products are recommend by the Skin Cancer foundation as an effective UV protectant.
Solar Heat Rejection
Solar heat will enter your home through panes of glass, often times creating hot spots in a room. Using window film will reduce the amount of solar heat build up in your home and allow you to enjoy every room in your home any time of the day  By rejecting some of the solar heat build up, your energy cost are sure to decline.
Glare Rejection
Glare in our homes/offices causes annoyance, discomfort, and loss in visibility. Glare is also caused by light shining through a widow onto a television screen. Window Film will help reduce the glare giving you more comfort to  enjoy your room even more. In addition eliminating some of glare will help those with eye strains giving you more comfort in your home or office.
Fade Protection
Today's homes are filled with beautiful fabrics, furniture, and hardwood floors. Window film will maximize your protection of your investment in your home by protecting those fabrics, furniture, floors, window coverings, and more. While window film can not totally protect your furnishings from fading, it will prolong the beauty and help preserve the colors of your furnishing for many years to come.
