\"\"Yep, it\u2019s time to think about the heat and summer now. Though bearable now, that intense Texas heat will be here before you know it.<\/p>\n

Window films are actually a wise energy-savings investment to employ during the summer. And not only do they help you save energy and money, but they also block out cancer-causing UV rays, reduce the fading of your furniture, give more protection if your window gets shattered, and they make your home look a little more modern too.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even more to window film than all that. But that\u2019s a good enough list for now.<\/p>\n

As with any energy-saving product or technique, window film has its own myths and misunderstandings.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s clarify and make sure you understand the truth about window film:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Window Film Voids the Manufacturer\u2019s Warranty<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Technically, it can be true that window film voids the window manufacturer\u2019s warranty. However, window film makers know this, so they routinely offer their own warranty for both your window and the film.<\/p>\n

    Just double-check with who you purchase your window film from to be sure.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Window Film Works Much Longer than Temporarily <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      You might hear window film doesn\u2019t last all that long. However, window film usually comes with a 15-20 year warranty. And frequently, it lasts even longer than that.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Window Film is Not a DIY Job<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u00a0<\/strong>Technically, anything can be a DIY job. You can repair your own broken leg if you want. There\u2019s no law stopping you.<\/p>\n

        You might not do a good job at all. And it might not be a wise idea. But, you can certainly do that.<\/p>\n

        The same goes for window film. You can do it yourself. However, you may not know the best window film for the job. And you might leave annoying-to-look-at bubbles and wrinkles.<\/p>\n

        But if you don\u2019t mind those possible cons in favor of saving some money now, you\u2019re free to do as you want.<\/p>\n

        As with most things, you\u2019re wisest to have an experienced professional do the work.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Window Film Does Not Fade Over Time<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Technically, this can happen. But it would only happen with a cheaper brand. Quality brands come with UV inhibitors that prevent fading and discoloration over time. And they come with extended warranties which protect you, even if this happens within the specified time frame.<\/p>\n

          Is window film a solid investment?<\/p>\n

          Yes.<\/p>\n

          You just have to make sure you use a quality product and a smart professional you trust.<\/p>\n

          Do that, and you\u2019ll be just fine.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
