Windows are a complex element in the fabric of a home. They allow light and fresh air in while offering views that connect interior living spaces with the outdoors.
However, windows can also be a major source of unwanted heat gain in the summer and significant heat loss in the winter.

Calgary Solar Tinted Windows
Many Calgary homeowners can benefit from lower heating and cooling bills by installing solar tinted windows. These block ultraviolet rays and help regulate heat loss and gain all year round.
There are many benefits of installing solar tinted windows including:
Energy Savings |
A significantly large percentage of a home’s utility bills are wasted by loss of heat and heat gain through untreated windows. Solar tinted windows block as much as 80% of the sun’s heat, dramatically lowering air conditioning costs in the summer. During the winter, this film will retain interior heat, reducing your heating costs. |
Increased Efficiency |
Many Calgary homeowners experience difficulty with heating and cooling imbalances between the sunny and shaded areas of the home. Solar tinted windows minimize this problem and improve the average comfort use, while reducing energy costs. |
Reduces Heat & Glare |
In addition to blocking heat, solar tinted windows can significantly reduce glare, making it easier for you to watch television or work on a computer in the comfort of your home. |
Blocks Harmful UV Rays |
Most fabrics, furnishings and artwork can fade from light passing through an untreated window. A solar tinted window will block the majority of UVA and UVB rays, helping preserve the color and quality of your furniture, fabrics and carpets. |
Increases Privacy |
Solar tinted windows also increase your privacy, allowing you to enjoy the outdoor view without worrying about who is looking in. |
Protects Your Home & Family |
Glass can prove to be a real hazard in the home when broken either from break-ins, storms or accidents. A solar tinted window is a transparent but powerful barrier that helps hold glass in place should an impact occur, keeping you and your loved ones safe. |
