Frequently Asked Questions About Hudson Valley Window Film
What is the purpose of safety and security window film?
Safety and security window film is engineered to strengthen glass, enabling it to remain intact upon impact. This film provides protection against break-ins, accidents, and natural disasters by minimizing the risk of glass shattering and becoming airborne.
How does window film help with energy efficiency in homes and offices?
Window films enhance energy efficiency by reducing solar heat gain, blocking ultraviolet rays, and improving insulation. These properties result in decreased energy consumption, leading to lower utility costs by reducing the need for cooling in summer and heating in winter.
What is switchable film and how does it work?
Switchable film, also referred to as smart film, utilizes liquid crystal technology to transition from transparent to opaque with the use of a switch or remote control. This technology offers on-demand privacy, making it particularly suitable for conference rooms, bathrooms, and contemporary interior design applications.
Can window film prevent break-ins?
While window film cannot completely prevent a determined intruder, security films significantly increase the difficulty and time required to breach glass. This serves as a deterrent and provides additional time for occupants to respond or alert law enforcement.
