The Energy Policy Act of 2005 created federal tax cuts for consumers who make certain energy-efficient improvements to their home. In 2006, window film was added to the list of improvements. Now anyone who has purchased qualifying window film products between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2007 can receive a 2007 tax credit. Forms are downloadable at www.energystar.gov, along with a list of other available energy efficiency tax credits. Maintain copies of your invoice and the manufacturer’s certification statement for your records. |

What is Window Film and how does it work?
 |
Window films are designed to improve the performance of glass quickly, economically and with minimal impact on the way that a home owner lives or a business functions. Window film is essentially a self-adhesive polyester film that is applied to the interior surface of glass. It’s used on the existing glass in automobiles, homes and commercial buildings in order to upgrade their solar control and safety. There are basically two types of window film – non-reflective or dyed films that primarily absorb solar energy, and reflective or metallized films that absorb as well as reflect solar energy. |
| When solar energy hits a normal glass window almost 90% of the energy is transmitted through. Solar radiation from the sun is divided into 3 components; visible light we can see, and infrared and ultraviolet rays which we can only feel. As solar radiation strikes a piece of glass, window film acts as a “sunscreen” to block harmful UV rays as well as regulates the levels of heat and light passing through the glass. The amount of heat and light rejected is all dependant on the type of window film selected. Once retrofitted
to the interior surface of glass, ProTint window film provides instantaneous results. |
