3M Sun Control Window Films are a popular choice for superior UV protection while maintaining a great view and better sight at night! Night Vision comes in 3 tint levels to meet your needs – yet any of the tint levels will still yield you 99% UV rejection.
Solar Gard TrueVue solar control products are ‘dual reflective’ – reflective on the outside to maximize heat rejection and neutral on the inside to maintain views.
Nothing is worse than finding out your furniture, carpet or wood flooring has faded when it it too late to protect it from damaging UV rays. If you don’t have window treatments and are not diligent about pulling window shades or curtains – chances are damage is occurring right now. Be proactive! We have a variety of options for residential and commercial installation and to satisfy whatever your primary concern is.
In addition to UV protection – you will see a vast difference in the amount of heat rejection window film provides. Heat rejection translates to energy savings and lower bills. It’s definitely a win-win all the way around!
You move into your new home and realize you have to do something about the sidelight next to the front door – or the bathroom window that directly faces your neighbors windows… these are areas that are not ideal for window treatments or shades. Privacy may be essential and decorative film can be the perfect solution.
For a fraction of the cost of designer glass, decorative window film can easily give your windows the look of frosted, etched, textured or stained glass – and you can even take it a step further and go with an elegant design in the film. From a residential perspective the concern is primarily exterior privacy. From a corporate perspective, decorative window film can provide exterior and interior privacy for offices, conference room, waiting rooms, reception areas, labs, cubicles, fitness rooms, bathrooms, and the list goes on! With so many patterns and options to choose from – there is basically a window film that can suit a variety of design styles and functional needs.
Window film can provide privacy or camouflage areas of an office while still allowing excellent light transmission. Gradient films are a popular choice to achieve the best of both worlds – a slow or deliberate fade from an opaque patterned background that fades to clear.
Whether it is an all over solid translucent film, a gradient fade, or an over-all decorative pattern – window film can customize your surroundings, add style and privacy while giving your windows new life.
When you think of “privacy film “, frosted film is usually the go-to film in an office space. Whether it is a full panel or just a band-of-film strategically placed to obscure the view, it is a very valuable asset to any space if privacy or distraction is an issue. A decorative layer of film can make a huge difference in an office where there is a great deal of glass, and you’ll notice that glass is something that is incorporated everywhere in architecture today.
Decorative window film can also add a consistent theme and add visual interest throughout a building or office space. Some of the most popular areas that we install decorative, privacy, or distraction privacy film is in businesses that have conference rooms with glass walls, office space with glass doors and sidelites, reception areas, waiting rooms, glass partitions, and the list goes on! You will see window film in many Medical buildings – they use decorative film for safety concerns (so that their clients and patients actually see the glass barriers before them) as well as for decorative purposes, full privacy and distraction privacy. Linen Window Film is a popular choice at Spectrum Health as a decorative element throughout their buildings.
Gradient, Frosted, Etched, Colored, Elegant Textured – the variety and types of Decorative Window Films is enormous.
Frost film and decorative film can be mixed in application for a unique effect! It can also give patients a sense of privacy in a room with lots of activity.
Sometimes a band or panel of Frost Window Film is too dense and opaque for the look and feel of the office space. Below is a great example of subtle distraction privacy. Gradient Window Film comes in many patterns and opacities. Its a detail that most clients do not recognize right away – but appreciate none-the-less.
Detraction Privacy definitely is “a thing” when it comes to the function and atmosphere in the workplace. We are finding a growing trend in our business that adding window film it is becoming a forethought and necessity when a building is under construction – rather than an afterthought. The beauty of window film is however, that it is very versatile. It can be installed at any time, inside or outside, and on most glass substrates. It can also be stripped and changed-out over the years if decorative remodeling or other window film properties and requirements are needed.
Whether it is your home or business – comfort and energy costs can be taken care of with the cost effective and valuable addition of Solar Control Window Film. Window tinting is a popular addition to automobiles nationwide because it controls the heat, glare, fading and the comfort level inside your car. The same can be said by installing window film in your home or business – however there is another huge advantage! You save energy and money!

In my Security business I have had the opportunity to work with window film companies across the nation. Five Star has proven time and time again they are among the best. Their customer service and attention to detail set them apart from the competition. They always exceed our and the clients expectations.
A valuable barrier that buys precious time, installed correctly, Safety & Security Window Film and an Impact Protection Attachment System can help deter unwanted individuals from entering. Protecting buildings, businesses, schools and homes against break-ins, vandalism and even bomb blasts – this film and attachment system technology holds window glass together in the event of breakage. Glass that is more difficult to pass through can therefore buy extra time to help guard against active shooter events that have plagued our country.
