Stop Heat, Glare, and Furniture Fading with Window Film

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

It’s amazing what a thin layer of Madico Window Film can do for your home.  Did you know that the use of Madico Window Film offers a cost-effective form of protection from the sun’s heat and damaging rays?… Madico films provide much more than attractive looks to homes.  Many films are offered in a variety of styles and hues that give you more freedom to design as bold or as subtle as you’d like.

 

Dramatic, natural light - in every season. It’s the glow that showcases your most treasured living spaces and possessions. But even as skylights and windows open your home to the light, beauty has its price. Just as UV rays are harmful to your skin, they also cause damage to the inside of your home. Madico window films act as a protective barrier to all the discomforts the sun can cause; heat, glare and fading among others. It ensures your home looks and stays just as beautiful as you want it to.   It also provides protection against other elements, as well. It provides shatter protection from hurricane winds, errant baseballs or golf balls, preventing glass from shattering into a room and sending hundreds of deadly-sharp fragments flying.   

Simply put, Madico window film is the most elegant, beautiful way to handle the best of what Mother Nature has to offer, while eliminating the worst.  Are your home furnishings and interior collectables important to you?  You bet they are! The sun can take a costly toll on your fabrics, furniture, rugs and art. Madico window films can block out up to 99.7% of damaging ultraviolet rays to help protect your furnishings, and keep them looking new for years to come. 
 

Increased safety
Splintered, flying glass is one of the dangerous consequences of disasters, whether natural or man-made. Madico film is specifically designed to help hold broken glass in place and lessen the chance of injury and property damage. It also makes forced entry more difficult for would-be vandals and burglars.

Big energy savings
Watch the numbers drop on those utility bills with the use of Madico solar control films. A reflective film can keep out as much as 80% of the sun’s heat, and dramatically lower air conditioning costs. In the winter, the same film can help retain interior heat and reduce heating costs.

More comfortable living environment
Madico solar control window films also help regulate the temperature disparity between the sunny and the shady areas of your home. Houses stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, all of which makes your family more comfortable.

Protection from fading
The sun’s ultraviolet rays can wreak havoc on interior furnishings and merchandise by fading and shortening their shelf life. Madico films can screen out over 99% of those harmful rays, potentially saving thousands of dollars in replacement cost… keeping your floors, rugs, furniture and artwork safe.

Enhance your homes appearance
Madico films can make residential exteriors more attractive by eliminating visual clutter and giving it a uniform appearance.

Reduced glare
Glare causes eye fatigue and discomfort. Drawing curtains or closing blinds is a claustrophobic approach at best, and it drives up the bill for artificial lighting. Madico films let in the light but not the glare, and help maintain an “open” feeling.
