Many property owners are turning to window film to address a number of concerns. From energy efficiency to safety and security, innovation within this industry continues to grow.

Let’s answer some of our most frequently asked questions for Denver properties.
Most Frequently Asked Window Film Questions for Denver Residential and Commercial Properties
Does window film damage windows?
No, window film does not damage windows if installed properly by an experienced, licensed window film contractor. There have been rare cases in the past where incompatible products have been installed on double-pane windows, causing excessive heat buildup. Working with the right contractor will eliminate this problem.
How do you maintain window film?
Once installed, property owners should typically wait about a month in order for the product to properly cure. Window film is less porous than glass and will require fewer cleanings. We recommend cleaning your window film with a soft, non-abrasive cloth along with a mild cleaner. Silicone polishes may be used to enhance the appearance but this is not required.
Does window film kill houseplants?
No, solar control and UV protection films only block UV rays. The red and blue light needed for plants to grow is unobstructed. In some cases, window film can even help plants thrive by reducing excessive heat, providing more stable temperatures, and preventing damage from UV rays.

Stop Bird Collisions In Denver Properties With Window Film
December 22, 2020 in Aggrigate, Commercial Window FilmBirds flying into windows occur more often than you may think. These collisions are not only bad for the bird but bad for the ecosystem–taking the lives of more than one billion birds each year. They also cause damage to the windows–resulting in expensive repairs. Here in Denver and across the world, building owners face the difficult task of mitigating damage from bird strikes. There are many ways to decrease these sad run-ins, but one of the most effective is fretted window films. These innovative bird strike films are more effective than methods such as netting, decals, or lighting reduction. Once these films are installed on the windows of a high-rise building– bird strikes are greatly reduced, if not eliminated.
How Bird Collision Window Films work
When birds fly into windows it is basically a case of mistaken identity. Birds often see windows as open-air rather than a solid object. This is from the reflection of the open sky on the glass of the window. The very best way to make windows appear as a solid object to birds is by installing bird strike window film. These films have a grid-like pattern of small dots embedded in the film. The pattern is designed so that the bird will not attempt to fly through the spaces in it. This means birds fly around the windows rather than try to fly through them. This means the bird lives and the window of your Denver building stays free of damage– saving you money and repairs. Another great thing about bird strike window film is it comes with many of the same benefits as regular window film: UV-blocking, insulation, and glare reduction, just to name a few.
