Why Choose Solar Gard Window Film?

Solar Gard window film is not just about improving the aesthetics of your windows but also about significantly cutting down on your energy bills. The film’s ability to reject up to 30% of solar heat not only keeps your interiors at a comfortable temperature but also reduces the burden on your air conditioning systems, subsequently lowering cooling costs [source].

Furthermore, it’s essential to consider the environmental impact of your choices. Solar Gard window films are designed with sustainability in mind. The carbon cost of producing one square meter of Solar Gard window film is less than one kilogram, which is significantly lower compared to new windows, which have a carbon cost of approximately 444 kilograms per square meter [source]. Moreover, these films are carbon-negative, saving more greenhouse gas emissions during their lifespan than are emitted during their production. In fact, Solar Gard window films can save up to 100 times more greenhouse gases than are used in their manufacturing [source].
