Q: Can frosted glass spray be used outside?

• <div><p>Some frosted glass sprays can handle the outdoors, but most of them aren't built for it. Sprays made for exterior use will say so clearly on the label. Anything marked &ldquo;interior use only&rdquo; can't hold up against rain, UV exposure, or changing temperatures without peeling, fading, or yellowing. Outdoor-rated sprays are typically more durable, but even then, proper prep and application matter. Before spraying anything outside, double-check the product instructions. If it doesn&rsquo;t specifically mention exterior use, skip it. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the most energy-efficient and insulating window treatment?

• <div><p>Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are the most energy-efficient and insulating window treatments. Their honeycomb structure is made of soft fabric that forms layered cell pockets. These pockets trap air, creating a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss in the winter and blocks heat gain in the summer. For even greater insulation, consider double- or triple-cell varieties. Side-tracked cellular shades, which seal the edges of the window frame, can further minimize air leaks and maximize energy efficiency.</p></div>

Q: Can I apply window tint myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional application ensures even adhesion, bubble-free results, and longer-lasting performance.</p></div>

Q: Can I use Windex to apply window film?

• <div><p>Do not use Windex or any glass cleaner when applying window film. These products contain ammonia, which will damage the film. Instead, use the application solution provided with the installation kit. If there is no solution, make your own using 1 teaspoon of baby shampoo and a gallon of bottled water.</p></div>

Q: What is the best alternative to window screens?

• <div><p>A lace curtain may block some of the biggest insects from entering while still allowing a breeze to get through. If your concern is privacy, then curtains and blinds will provide better privacy than window screens; for UV protection, you can choose specialty windows or UV-blocking film. And if you just want an inexpensive, temporary solution, there are adhesive or magnetic screen panels you can install for an hour, a day, or a season.</p></div>

The cleaners removed the window screen but while cleaning them, they destroyed my windows screen.

I have very high windows and the cleaners left behind water marks all over, did not look very good.

"I bought the FrontPoint system after reading stellar reviews on Angies List. My experience has been excellent. It really was as simple to install as they said -- you basically plug it in and place your door/window monitors. I like that there was no wiring involved.
The rep on the phone gave excellent service and answered all my questions I was impressed I got to speak to the same rep every time, not someone different.
I put "0" for the cost because I don't remember. It was not expensive, and very cost competitive to other providers. Also, you can easily scale the system up or down, depending on your needs.
