Why window film?
Window film is an attractive, inexpensive and durable window treatment option that’s environmentally friendly.
It’s commonly used to…
Reduce energy bills
Control temperature
Improve safety and security
Minimise glare
Enhance comfort
Block UV radiation
Protect furnishings, carpets, etc.
Maximise space within a room
Create a uniform external façade
Increase privacy
Provide signage and decoration
These days, you can choose a window film that meets your specific needs. It’s available in a wide range of aesthetic and performance types that suit most requirements and can be applied to any glass surface. The cost of window film compares favourably to double glazing, tinted and reflective glass and shading devices. It can be applied to new windows or retrofit to existing ones, both residentially and commercially.
WFAANZ members are trained to ensure the product is fitted correctly, and WFAANZ window film manufacturers provide a minimum 10 year warranty, and some even offer a lifetime guarantee on residential applications.
