How window film reduces cooling costs in Florida

Where the heat comes in

Walls and roofs are insulated. Glass isn't, in any meaningful way. Sunlight passes through a window and becomes heat inside the room. A wall of sliders facing west takes the full afternoon sun and dumps that heat into the house at the hottest part of the day, right when the AC is already working hardest.

What film does

Solar film reflects and absorbs a share of the solar energy before it gets through. The room behind the glass stays closer to the rest of the house, the AC cycles less, and the thermostat setting you already use feels cooler. Film also blocks nearly all UV, which is a separate benefit for floors and furniture.

Which windows first

West-facing glass, then south, then east. Sliders and picture windows before small windows. Rooms that run hot before rooms that don't. Many homeowners start with the sliders and do the rest later.

What we won't claim

We won't give you a savings number, because it depends on your glass, your orientation, your AC and the film. Anyone quoting a specific percentage before seeing your house is guessing. We'll show you samples on your glass, tell you which film suits it, and you'll feel the difference the first afternoon.
