Choosing the Right Window Film
Selecting the right winow film for your home can be somewhat challenging. Especially when receiving conflicting information. The most important thing to remember is to stay focused on the main reason you are considering window film.
Let's examine the types of window films on the market.
- Nano-Ceramic films are all the buzz. These unique films offer good heat and UV reduction without making the glass dark. This allows for the highest amount of natural light. However, if you have a bright light or glare issue, these may not be the right product.
- Natural or Neutral films provide a variety of shades and performance. Depending on your specific need these films offer a variety of benefits. These films often have a reflective (shiny) look from the outside. At the same time, many of the darker films will be reflective from the inside at night, making your windows mirrors. Not so much with the lighter products.
- Our Sun-Gard Optivision and 3M Night Vision are our most popular films. Offering great performance and maxium sun damage protection. Night Vision and Optivision are designed specifically for homes wishing to control the sun without effecting their view. In many cases you'll find they actually enahnace the view. But the low interior reflection is what really sets these films apart. Available in 3 shades.
- Make sure to ask to see a copy of the manufacturer's warranty with comprehnsive glass coverage. Don't accept anything less.

Clear View Anti-Graffiti Film Protects Downtown Business
Sun Gard Optivision on Castle Pines Home

Experience Matters
I suggested the 3M Night Vision 25 & 15 and Sun Gard Optivision 25 & 15. These would offer great benefits while still allowing for clear visibilty both day and night. As we discussed the products another gentleman approached and commented that he had already contracted with someone to tint the windows. As it turns out, he had contracted with the company that tints car windows for them. The plan was to install automotive window film on these 55" x 82" windows. The problem with this is simple. Dark, non-reflective window films will absorb an extreme amount of heat into the glass. This creates a risk of "thermal shock fracture". Simply put, the glass will break.
Once management understood the risks they decided to cancel the order placed with the auto tint .
It is important to get all of the answers and know the facts. What could have become a costly disaster will result in a better informed consumer. Clear View always strives to educate the customer so that hey can make an informed decision. No tricks, gadgets or gimmicks. Just the facts.

Selecting the right window film for your home

Start With Trust
Another Happy Clear View Window Tinting Customer
When we arrived I was chatting with the homeowner and asked how the film had worked for them. "Oh my GOD, what difference!" she was quick to respond. She commented she only regrets not having more windows done the first time.
We installed film in the kitchen, master bedroom, loft office and dining room. She loved the way it looked and said her husband will be thrilled now that his southwest facing office will be more comfortable.
It really makes you feel good when a customer is as satisfied as this one was. Satisfation is our goal. Mission Accomplished.
Mountain Home Skylights
Clear View installed Sun Gard Optivision 25 on the skylights. This film offers outstanding heat reduction and blocks 99% of the suns harmful UV rays. They were able to keep just the right amount of light and didn't alter the beauty of their home.
The homeowner was so impressed, he is having us back out to film his vast window wall that looks right at the mountains. Hopefully, we go before the snow starts...he's way up there!

Oops, It can Happen
It just so happened we were going to be in her area today, so I told her we would stop by and take care of her. When we stopped in we found that the damaged window was a small window over the kitchen sink. We were able to remove the damaged film and replace it in less than 30 minutes. She was thrilled! I can guarantee the next time she thinks of window tinting, she remembers Clear View.
When she asked how much she owed me, I told her... "Don't worry about it. Just refer me to your neighbors" I was told "we already have!" She insisted on paying anyway. We charged her half price and everybody was happy.
There are 2 morals to this story: Never use an green abrasive scrubber on window film and a little bit of customer service goes a long way! I can guarantee the next time she thinks of window tinting, she remembers Clear View.
Lowest Price or Highest Quality, It's Your Choice
"It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot -it can't be done.
IF YOU DEAL WITH THE LOWEST BIDDER, IT IS WELL TO ADD SOMETHING FOR THE RISK YOU RUN and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better."
Quality products and unsurpassed customer service, nothing less will do.

#1 in Customer Service!
Once there they showed me around their home and we discussed their needs. They mentioned their rooms were getting hot making it uncomfortable for their newborn baby and 18 month old since their bedrooms faced east. I recommended both 3M Night Vision 25 and Sun Gard Optivision 25. These films will provide excelent heat reduction.
Once they selected their window film they asked if I could do the work right now. It was 6:00 now. At first, I thought.... there's no way. Certainly I don't have the film they want in my truck. But, as it turned out, I did have the film! By 7:30 their windows in their children's rooms were tinted and I was on my way home.
Clear View wants our customers to know that we still understand "good 'ol customer service".
Will window film prevent my floors and furnishings from fading?
Sun damage (fading) is caused by 3 elments. UV, Visible Light and Solar Heat. UV is responsible for 40% of the damage, light 25% and heat 25%. The remaining 10% accounts for things we cannot control. By reducing UV by 99% this protects furnishings by 40%, not 100%. Then by cutting the light and heat in half we can add another 25% to the protection. Simple math tells us that this only provides 65% fade protection. Not 100%.
Bottom line is window film will help to reduce fading of flooring and furniture. But as long as you have windows, some fading will still occur over time. This information is available at http://www.iwfa.com/

Selecting a window tinting contractor
NEVER trust a window tinting contractor that "trash talks" about competitive products. This clearly indicates that they have little faith in their own products, therefore they must attack the competition in an attempt to make themselves look better. Sadly, a number of companies choose this marketing approach. Vista dealers are notorious for this! If a company cannot earn your business without dicrediting their competitor, you have to question their integrity.
Visit their website and check out the pictures being used. Are they actual photos of projects they have completed or are they simply pictures provided by the manufacturer of the film. You should be able to see pictures of work they have actually performed.
Testimonials are often self written and misleading. Never trust a testimonial that claims to have paid a company to fix someone else's mistake. This is highly unlikely.
Auto tint shops often promote residential and commercial window tinting. Since this type of window film appication is much more involved than simply making the glass dark, auto tint shops are often not properly educated in material selection. Then, the question arises....Do they have the right insurance?
Customer service is an area that is difficult to determine until a problem arises. Very often, if you choose to go with the lowest bid, you will get the same quality service as product.
At Clear View we want you to understand what to expect from window tinting companies. We clearly post pictures of our projects and our warranty on our website http://www.clearmountainview.com/ for your review. We are A Rated by the Better Business Bureau and recommended by Tom Martino.
Be a wise consumer and get the best value from Clear View!
Sun Gard Optivision a BIG HIT!
Beware of False Claims
NOT ALL WINDOW FILMS ARE CREATED EQUAL! HUPER OPTIK WINDOW FILM BLOCKS UP TO 90% OF THE HEAT THAT COMES THROUGH YOUR WINDOWS AND LOOKS GREAT!
The fact is, while this film will reduce IR light by 90%, IR light makes up less than 50% of the solar heat spectrum. Thus this film willl reduce solar heat by about 45% on dual pane windows.
Be an educated consumer and beware of claims that seem too good to be true. This is a perfect example of an "auto tinter" attempting to sell window film to homes and commercial buildings.

Prevent Sun Damage to Home Furnishings
We all know too well what the sun can do to our home's furnishings. Bleached out fabric makes the furniture or window treatments look old and worn. Wood floors are often darker under a rug becuase the sun has faded the uncovered portion. As the sun moves across the sky it changes the angle at which it enters your windows. Clear View's "Optivision" window film will filter out 99% of the sun's harmful UV rays and provide you with a crisp, clear view.
Sun damage is caused by the sun light that enters your home. 40% of the damage is caused by UV light, while 25% is caused by the visible sunlight you see shining in your windows and 25% is caused by excesive solar heat. By reducing the UV, light and heat you will provide the best protection you can without living with closed blinds or shades.
