Thermal stress can affect glass when a film absorbs more heat than the glazing is suited to, which is why identifying the existing windows matters before any film is chosen. A dealer will look at the glass type, size and orientation and recommend a film suited to it.

By reducing solar heat gain and glare through existing glass, film can ease the demand on cooling in warmer months. It works with the windows you already have rather than replacing them.
