Window Films: Benefits and Protection From Sun Damage

Your windows have such a critical role in the comfortability of your home. The design of the windows can tie the whole room together! However, windows don’t come without their problems. The sun is necessary, yet incredibly powerful. You want to let the light in, but you don’t want any of the damage that comes with it. 

Have you ever noticed your carpet fade over the years due to sun exposure? Or have you ever had to turn off the TV at a certain time because of the glare? 

Window films can help dial the direct sun down, but keep that warm light radiating through your home. I love serving New Jersey homeowners by solving a variety of problems with minimal window films! These films are a thin, strong, polyester layer that cover your windows.
