"I appreciated that a sales representative came to my to see the project, measure, and explain the process. The technician that applied the film was very exact, and when he wasn't satisfied with the application, he removed the film and reapplied a new film."
"Sales process was good, courteous and helpful. Installation instructions were easy to follow. Did have a small issue with one sensor which was easily solved with a call. Control panel is easy to use and well constructed. Phone app is the best part. Not a big fan of a 2 year contract and the monthly rate feels a little high, but definitely a decent system. I had emailed them a question pertaining installing on double hung windows and never received a reply, but other than that their phone support prior to that was good."
"My husband noticed we had a hole in our roof earlier in the week. He was out of town for the week and did not have a chance to call anyone before he left. Today it was raining and started to leak into the family room. I called Mike and he was here within the hour. It was fixed within an hour at a reasonable rate. Will definitely be using him again. Very professional and personable. Thank you so much for solving my problem. "
A common way to modernize arched windows is to install interior window treatments that allow light through the curved portion up to and let you cover the bottom portion for privacy. You can also install plantation shutters to make an arched window look more modern. From the exterior, arched windows can appear outdated if they’re coupled with ornate trim, so toning down the decor can make your window look more natural with a modern design.
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.
No, it isn’t necessary to have energy-efficient windows. However, if you care about your energy bill and making your windows more energy efficient, fixing any heat, UV, or air transfer issues is an excellent way to lower your bills and keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Window security film has a few key benefits that make it an enticing home improvement:
It’s much more affordable than shatterproof windows or hurricane windows.
It improves your home’s energy efficiency and can save money on heating and cooling bills.
It makes it harder to break into your home.
It helps prevent dangerous shattered glass after an impact.
You can tint it to provide additional protection from the sunlight.
If your window film doesn’t come with an installation kit and its own application solution, you can make your own—but don’t use soap! Instead, use 1 teaspoon of baby shampoo mixed with a gallon of bottled water. Make sure the bucket in which you mix this solution is completely clean.
