What is window film?

Window films are constructed of a polyester base and different types of metals and composites that are sputtered onto the base.  The average film contains a UV inhibitor, an adhesive to attach it to the window, and a scratch-resistant coating.  The film is usually applied to the interior surface of the window and is designed to reduce heat, glare, and fading.

How is your product installed?

Our installers come to your home or office and, after first thoroughly cleaning the surface of the window, install the product on the inside of the window.  The film has its own mounting adhesive, so we only use soapy water for the installation.  There are no harsh chemicals or offensive odors.  The average installation can be completed in one day.

Will your window film stop my furniture from fading?

Yes. Window films have been proven to significantly reduce fading in your home and office.  But remember that fading is caused by visible light, heat, and UV light, so some fading will always occur.  By blocking the UV, which is the biggest factor in fading, we can reduce the fading by nearly half.  It is also important to block as much heat and light as possible to maximize your protection.  At Metro Georgia Window Films, Inc. we only use films that are proven to block 99-100 % of the ultraviolet light.

Will your products make my house dark?

No.  We use the most technologically advanced films on the market.  These films, called spectrally-selective films, block over half of the heat but allow almost all of the visible light to come through.  Your windows will retain the natural, unaltered look you love while blocking the UV and keeping your home cooler.

Does your product really reduce heat?

Absolutely.  But don’t believe us.  Most of our products are manufactured by U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ENERGY STAR Partners.  In addition, depending on where you live, you may be eligible for a rebate through your electrical provider for your window film installation. 

Will your product turn purple and bubble up?

No.  All of our products are guaranteed against bubbling, fading, or discoloration.  Unlike automotive films that typically last only a few years, our products have a lifetime guarantee in your home and a ten to fifteen year warranty in your office.  If any problem occurs we will replace it.

I’ve heard that window film can cause problems with my windows.

All of our products come with a 5 year glass breakage warranty and a 3 year seal failure warranty.  Most glass manufacturers only guarantee their windows for 2 years.  In addition, we offer extended warranties to those of our customers that require extra coverage.  If you have a problem with an in-warranty window, we will replace the glass and replace the film.

What types of films do you carry and what are the differences?

At Metro Georgia Window Films, Inc. we carry several different types of products designed to meet your specific needs.  Our base product is a high-end metallized film similar to what you’ve probably seen in other homes and offices.  These films are efficient and inexpensive and have been the mainstay of the window film market for nearly four decades.  They are available in a wide range of shades, from very light to extremely dark.  We also carry a complete line of ceramic films.  These films have the same performance aspects as the metallized films, but because they have no metal in them, they are incredibly neutral in color and have very low reflectivity.  This results in a product that is less noticeable.  Most people have a hard time spotting these films once they are installed.  Our most advanced films, the spectrally-selective films, are designed to meet the needs of our most discriminating clients.  These films boast energy reduction of 56-70% while allowing as much as 72% of the natural light thru the window.  And, because they are almost completely non-reflective, you’ll never know they’re there, until you get your power bill.  These are the most advanced films on the market today.

How long has Metro Georgia Window Films, Inc. been in business?

We have been providing window film sales and service since 1988, since 1994 in the Atlanta area.

Do you travel outside of the perimeter?

Absolutely.  We not only travel outside the perimeter, but we provide nationwide sales and service.  We have completed large film installations in New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Mexico, and Hawaii just to name a few.

Is window film expensive?

Not at all.  When you compare the cost of an average window film installation with a similar installation of blinds, shutters, or curtains, our products are vary affordable.  And none of these other products allow the light through while blocking heat and UV.  Most window film installations will pay for themselves in just a couple of years through energy savings.

Do you charge for an estimate?

Our estimates are completely free of charge or obligation.
