Can you see the difference? The window on the left has been treated with Solar Gard True Vue 40 window film. This mountain homeowner was concerned about sun damage to her new furniture, but she didn't want to have to obstruct her view with window shades. True Vue 40 eliminates UV by 99% and provides a clean clear view. Colors are more enhanced and glare is reduced, making the room more comfortable.

Fall Means Fewer Leaves on the Trees

We can feel the crispness of fall in the air already. It's been a long hot summer for many of us. Many a/c units struggling to keep up. And those of us without a/c thought we were going to melt! But, soon the temperatures will be dropping along with those leaves. This also exposes our windows to the direct sun light.

Did you know that more sun damage occurs in the winter than the summer? It's true! As the sun drops lower to the horizon, the light travels further into our homes. While we may not relate the winter sun to damage, it does continue without the hot temperatures.

Clear View offers a number of sun control window films that will not darken your windows and allow for a crystal clear view instead of hiding behind closed shades.

Misleading Information?

I'm always a bit surprised when I see ads that make untrue claims. Just recently I saw an ad that stated windw film would reduce energy use by 60 to 70%. This is FAR from the truth. While window film may reduce solar heat gain by 60 to 70% this does not translate to the same ratio in energy savings. There are many other factors that determine your overall energy consumption besides your windows.

Another ad read "Stop fading by 100%" This is... how do I put this politely, stretching the truth a bit. Window film will "reduce" sun fading of flooring and furnishings, but it WILL NOT stop it. Visible light itself contributes to the fading. Therefore, unless the window film blocks 100% of the UV AND 100% of the light, it will not stop fading.  

Our Solar Gard and Sun Gard window films block 99% of the sun's harmful rays. We are pleased to provide our complete product data for your inspection. Clear View won't make far fetched claims or give you misleading information. Just the necessary data for you to make an educated decision.
