I have a lot of windows in our house. We get sun in the morning directly into the front of the house. Then in the evening, we get sun directly into the back of the house. Needless to say, the house heats up during the summer months. So I started to look into getting film put on the windows. I had two goals. The first was to reduce the heat in the house. The second was to protect our furniture and hardwoods from sun fading. I have hardwoods throughout the main level. So after a bit of research, I concluded that I did not want to do the DIY method from the local home improvement super chains. I felt that we needed something of quality and durability. And I concluded that I was not even going to try to measure window sizes and do the installation. I found Louis at Solar Winds and had him come out for measurements and a quote. He was very knowledgeable of the products and very professional. I consider this an investment into my home. Therefore, I wanted a professional install with a product that was going to work exactly as advertised. I also wanted something durable that would last for years. I have had the film on for several years now. Coming up on 4 years I believe. The product looks as good today as the day it was installed. No cracks, no peeling, etc. No fading of furniture, floors, carpet, etc. Power bill has gone down as well. There are several types of film with advantages and disadvantages as well as varying budgets. Louis does a great job of explain g and recommending the options. Great job and would highly recommend.
