Today's homes and commercial buildings use more glass than ever before. Windows play a vital role in the home's energy efficiency. As attractive as this is, it leads to a host of problems ranging from excessive glare, heat build-up and high energy costs to the premature fading of carpets, furniture and draperies.

Take the Defense on Fading….
Sunlight
is basically made up of three elements:
Visible Light- the part which enables us to see
Infrared-
the part which we feel as heat
Ultraviolet Light- which we neither feel nor see but it is
the main factor in causing fabrics and
furnishings to fade
-
Fading
is Inevitable… all materials fade in time.
-
Fading
Occurs…whether exposure is from intense
sunlight over a short period of time or weak
sunlight over a long period of time.
-
SEVERE
FADING CAN BE MINIMIZED….With the use of
VISTA Solar Control
Window Film.

The Composition of the Window Film you choose will always make a difference in the results achieved….
The type, amount, and location of UV absorber in the film determine its effectiveness in reducing fading. Absorbers located in the adhesive, instead of the film itself, can be far less stable and enduring. Most other companies just add UV absorbers to their product through the adhesive layer. VISTA window film UV absorbers are built into the film to provide superior stability and endurance. To enhance the life and function of film, all Vista Solar Control Film comes with a patented scratch-resistant SR coating.

Be
Energy Wise with Vista
The
challenge of how to reduce energy consumption is on
every homeowner’s mind as rising energy costs and
power shortages make news every day. Designers and
homeowners alike need to determine primary areas of
wasted energy.
Most
Homeowners Don’t Realize:
- Windows
play a vital role in the home’s energy
efficiency allowing solar heat to enter in the
summer months and home heat to escape in the cold
months.
- Windows
typically account for 15 to 30% of the total
heating load and may account for more than 50%
during the summertime cooling load.
- Approximately
50% of a home’s utility bills are wasted by loss
of heat and heat gain through untreated glass.
(EPA Energy Star Buildings Manual)
“The
most cost effective way to cut home energy loss is to
upgrade existing windows with the installation of
VISTA Solar Control Window Film” – L. Newman
