WHY WINDOW FILM
Windows are beautiful design elements that allow the natural light into our homes, offices, and buildings. However, windows can also be a source of problems. Windows can create glare; cause fading of your furniture, floors, artwork and curtains; make temperature control difficult and expensive; and reduce your privacy and security while you’re at home. If you are tired of struggling with these problems, there is a simple solution: window film.
Window film allows you to continue to enjoy the view through your windows while protecting you and your family from heat gain, glare, and harmful UV rays. Window film provides a host of benefits including enhancing comfort, saving money, increasing security, and providing you with peace of mind – all the while increasing the value of your biggest investment: your home.

Prestige Series
Designed to maintain the appearance of your home, Prestige Series Films combine reflectivity that’s actually lower than glass with films that allow up to 70% of the light into your home. The only thing you’ll see day or night, inside or out, is a beautiful window.
Safety & Security
Safety and Security Window Films help to protect your home and your family from threats such as break-ins and severe weather events like hurricanes. They are designed to help hold glass fragments together, reducing potential injury from flying glass during severe weather, and creating a stronger barrier to slow down criminals. Safety and Security Window Films are available in clear, safety-only versions, or as a combination film with both sun control and safety features.
Night Vision
Night Vision window films help block the sun’s damaging UV rays, reduce glare, and reject up to 73% of the sun’s heat. These darker shaded films are designed to reject solar heat that is produced from visible light. You can let up to 35% of the natural light into your rooms by day, and thanks to a low interior reflectivity, still enjoy the view out by night. Plus, higher exterior reflectivity means you can enjoy enhanced privacy with your windows both day and night.
Smart Film
Instant & Precise Privacy Control; Smart Film blocks 98+% of UV rays, eco friendly, reduce fading of flooring, furniture & artwork, provides privacy when needed and is only a fraction of the cost of Smart Glass.

Smart Film can be controlled by a variety of methods including: wall switch, home automation, app on phone, remote control, motion sensor, voice control, light sensor or timer.
Ceramic Series
Advanced ceramics allow these films to maintain their color and appearance over time. The ceramic series films reject up to 80% of the sun’s heat-producing infrared light and block 99% of UV rays. Slightly darker than the Prestige Series products, these films allow up to 50% of the light into your home.
Architectural Window Films
Architectural window films with stripes, squares and a variety of patterns. Films that provide semi obscurity with elegant design. Perfect for semi-privacy, decorative or architectural applications. Supplied with a silicone liner, which protects the clear, pressure-sensitive adhesive, and applied using the same tools and techniques for window films.
SCHOOL SAFETY & SECURITY
Acting as invisible protection, 3M Safety & Security Window Film can prevent tragedy by holding broken glass in place and delay an active shooter from gaining entry – thereby giving emergency personnel more time to respond to the impending threat.

Your guys were very thorough and I appreciated their efforts to take care of me.
The window film looks great. I'm going to be so much more comfortable here now. I wish someone had mentioned this to me when I bought the apartment two years ago! Thanks again for your help with this!
I had a very nice experience with this company. They are very professional and they work with you. I highly recommend their services.
Someone attempted to break in our place yesterday and the security film did the trick! I posted on NextDoor and a lot of people are asking me who we used, so I hope you get some referrals from my Bloomingdale neighbors!
Great company to work with to add privacy film to any glazing or glass conference rooms. The workers did a fantastic job applying the film and we are very pleased with the results. It's wonderful how the film adds more privacy and separation to minimize awkwardness of the "fish bowl" effect.
The film installation on 12 panes of glass was completed on yesterday and the crew did a great job. The Ultima V14 SR CDF was a good selection as it compliments the office, but more importantly we look forward to this product rejecting up to 80% of solar energy to help reduce heat build up and energy costs.Thank you General Solar for a job well done!
Gabriel and Joes Moreno did an outstanding job.
Polite, professional, efficient, clean, quality!
I just wanted to tell you what an outstanding job your men did in replacing the film on our sun patio windows. We were most impressed with their skill in removing and more importantly replacing the film. Given the one day experience we had of film-less windows, what a great difference we saw yesterday after the new film was installed.
I know Susan had a hand in working with you to resolve the issue to have the film replaced. For that we are very appreciative. We also want to thank you and rest assured we have become a very satisfied customer who will direct people to General Solar.
Dave and his team were very helpful in advising me on the right solar window treatments for my needs. I appreciated General Solar’s candor and customer service, and Dave’s flexibility in scheduling installation was much appreciated. I would recommend this company without hesitation.
I just want to let you know that I am really satisfied with the job that was done on the window. It looks really beautiful!!
