Window Film as an Alternative to Replacement Windows

Single pane windows cause a number of issues. They break easily, compromise privacy, and lack energy efficiency. Unfortunately, replacement windows like double and triple pane options can be expensive. But just because you’re unhappy with your windows doesn’t mean you have to replace them. Instead, you can retrofit your existing windows with window tints and films and save money.

Window Tint vs. New & Replacement Windows

Today, more and more property owners are realizing the benefits of using window film as an alternative to replacing their windows. Some of the benefits to upgrading your windows with window tinting vs. buying new windows include:

  • Savings: Window tints and films cost a fraction of the price of triple and double pane replacement windows.
  • Environmentally friendly: Instead of filling up space in a landfill, old windows can be retrofit with window film to improve their performance, strength, and aesthetic appearance. Manufacturing window film also produces fewer carbon emissions.
  • No structural changes: Replacing windows requires making structural changes. Not only is this type of construction messy and interruptive, but you may also be required to obtain a building permit. Window film, on the other hand, offers a hassle-free experience and requires no permanent structural changes.
  • Dual benefits: Replacement windows like triple and double pane windows usually serve the sole purpose of improving energy efficiency. Window films, however, can be used for multiple purposes, including aesthetics and as a glass strengthening agent. Dual-acting films like solar security films, for example, improve windows in more ways than one by strengthening the glass and improving its energy efficiency.
  • Faster ROI: Replacement windows are so expensive that it takes decades to see a full return on investment. Window tint, on the other hand, has an average ROI of 2-5 years.
