Which Brand is Best?

Selecting the right window film for your home or office is a serious decision and should not be taken lightly. First, focus on what your highest priority is. Whether it is to protect your furnishings or reduce energy consumption, there is a film designed to fit your needs.

So how do you tell which film company to choose when everyone says "mine is the best"? Sometimes it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. Very often, the warranty will provide a good clue. Make sure "glass breakage" is included. If it is not it would be wise to avoid this product. Where is the product made? Foreign made window films often do not provide the level of customer service should a warranty issue arise as those made here.

While "brand name" films offer a recognizable name associated with other products, this certainly doesn't make them "the best". In fact, you might be surprised to learn that many of the brand name films aren't actually made by the manufacturer baring that name. Most films made here in the U.S. A. are very often quite comparable in quality. Sun Gard films are made in St. Petersburg, Florida to the highest quality standards. A member of the 100 Year Old MADICO window film family.

Keep Your View With Century 60

 Our Sun Gard Century 60 window film is a great choice for those that wish to maintain a natural view yet want the protection from the sun.

This Bailey homeowner wanted to block UV and slightly reduce the heat coming in his windows. He selected the Century 60 because it did not make a noticeable change to the windows.

In these photos, the top windows are treated with Century 60 and the bottom is clear.

Denver Airport Office Gets Face Lift

When Denver International Airport remodeled the airport main offices they wanted to create a inviting enviornment, yet create a sense of privacy in their main conference room. They selected a light "frosted" film to achieve the look they wanted.  This allowed for plenty of light to enter while restricting visiblity into the conference room.

Castle Rock Home Uses Film Combination

Can you tell the difference? Probably not, but the top windows are actually darker than the lower. Clear View installed Sun Gard Optivision 35 on the lower windows and Optivision 25 on the uppers. Since the homeowner had plans to install window treatments on the lower windows they chose to use the lighter shade on these windows. But, they wanted to leave the upper windows unrestricted yet wanted to control the harsh effects of the sun. Thus, the darker shade made a great choice to keep heat gain to a minimum and protect their home furnishings.
A special thanks to David at Design by Change!

Optivision 15 provides MAX performance

WOW.... look at the difference! This Arvada Fire Station had a serious issue with heat and glare. They selected Optivision 15. This high performance window film will cut glare by 80% and reduce solar heat by as much as 75%. The station captain remarked the film had made a huge difference.

Scam Warning!!

Today I received a text message stating that I had won a $1,000 Walmart gift card. It required me to follow a link to a website. According to Walmart the website sends you through a series of sponsored sites in addition asking you to provide personal information and post the link on Facebook.

If you did make the mistake of sharing the scam link, then you are now spamming your friends with the very same message. Clean-up your newsfeed and profile to remove references to the scam. (click the “x” in the top right hand corner of the post).
Never complete surveys to unlock videos or other content on Facebook. Scammers use these tricks to either spread malware, obtain personal identification or earn commissions from marketing companies. Don’t pad their pocket and possibly open yourself up to harm!
Some of the surveys require you to download files to your computer. Never do this! If you did so in error, then run a complete system scan with a good anti-virus software program. The I.Q. Quiz scam has been around for a while, and it typically requires you to enter your cell phone number to receive the results. The scammers then bill you for premium services. Keep an eye on your phone bill for bogus charges.

If you receive an email or text saying you've won the $1,000 gift card... DO NOT RESPOND! Instead, copy the information and forward it to abuse@walmart.com

Clear View wants you to be safe and informed. The same applies to window tinting companies. Remember the old saying... "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is".

Breckenridge designer selects Optivision 35 for her client's amazing view

 This custom home in Breckenridge wanted to protect the home's interior from the direct western sun. At the same time, they obviously wanted to maintain their amazing view.

We installed samples of our Optivision 35 and 45. Because the windows faced due west, they selected the 35% film.

They were quite amazed at how the film made the view even better! Take a look at these photos. The windows on top have been treated with Optivison 35 and the bottom windows have no film. You can easily see how the colors actually pop out with more clarity.

Optivision 35 blocks 99% of the damaging UV rays, reduces annoying glare by 60% and will cut solar heat by up to 56%.

Will window film really stop my furniture from fading?

I've been asked that very question countless times. The true answer is NO. The fact is, window film will certainly help protect your furnishings from the harsh effects of the sun, but will not stop it completely. Window film blocks up to 99% of the damaging UV rays, but UV is only 40% of the damage. Additional harm comes from the direct sunlight and solar heat. Window tinting will help in all 3 areas. The darker the film, the higher the protection level. But, the very light films will often reduce fading by 50% or more. However, so long as there is light some gradual fading may occur. This is true with all window film brands.

IR Films vs. Traditional Films

Every purchase of window film requires some form of compromise. If you want more light to penetrate your windows, you also will get more heat-gain. If you want Maximum protection against Solar Energy coming into your home or office, you will need a dark and highly reflective film to do the job. These are the facts but many customers are misinformed that they can have Maximum heat rejection and still let in 60-70% of the light. The reason is that the sales rep, in trying to sell his spectrally selective product, discusses IR rejection as if it is the only source of heat gain. In reality IR represents 53% of the total heat-gain coming through window glass. Visible light also brings 44% of the heat as well as all of the glare issues relative to sunny windows.

Spectrally Selective films are great products when you are trying to maintain high visible light levels in a room, or very low change in the appearance of the windows when viewing from the outside, or better visibility out of the window during low-light periods. By being able to also block out 80-90% of the IR radiation, these films provide a good reduction in solar heat gain as well, but they are NOT the best films at reducing solar heat gain. If you look at the TSER, total solar energy rejection, of spectrally selective products with a visible light transmission of at least 50%, you will find that the TSER will most likely be below 60%. Very often a light, traditional film will meet the needs at a much lower cost than the Spectrally Selective films. While these IR films are great technology, they may not be the right film for you. Always closely check the data. Equally important... read the warranty and compare.

In some cases the manufacturer's further skew the information by showing only the most advantageous numbers from their data. One such company bases their claims of efficiency on just one data point when the sun is at a 60 degree angle. NFRC requires all testing to be done at a 90 degree angle, which reduces the actual energy that can be blocked.

We want you to make an informed decision when considering window tinting for your home or office.

Will tinting make my rooms dark?

There are a variety of shades of home window tinting films from clear to room darkening. Obviously, the darker the tint, the less light that will enter the room. The lighter films will still block UV rays by up to 99%, however they often reduce less solar heat. For those that want to reduce solar heat, but do not want a tinted look we offer very light sun control films that will block up to 54% of the sun's heat without changing the look of the windows.


For rooms that are burdened with too much sun, the darker tinted shades may be the better choice. These films will not only reduce the volume of heat coming through the windows, but will also help to control annoying glare. One concern with these films is that the view will be harmed. The truth is, even the darkest films will still allow for clear visibility. Unlike windows with blinds or shades, tinted windows can remain open to enjoy the view while providing a shield from the sun's heat.
