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 installed on existing glass surfaces. 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.

Of course I gave GS 5 stars! We have been very very happy with our new window film!!!
The installers did a great job and we will certainly keep you in mind if needed in the future.
Alex finished the job and left just now. It went great. Alex was very courteous and great to work with.
Gabriel and José did a very fine, craftsmanlike job for us. They’re nice people as well. Thanks for making it all happen!
I just wanted to let you know that my super said that your tech was in and did a great job, best he has seen yet. Very happy with your service overall, typically no one ever responds this quickly. Much appreciated. Thank you!
It went great – the door looks great and the team you sent were also great – so nice and got the job done. We are very pleased with the outcome! Thanks so much!
Everything went well on Saturday. Your guy called to let me know his arrival time. He was prompt and courteous. He dedicated himself to the work that he had to do; and when he was finished, he gave me instructions so that we would allow the film to settle and not disturb it for a couple of days. And today the inspector found what he was looking for in the letter you sent. All in all, 101% satisfaction in all aspects of your team’s service. Thank you again
The installation went great, and your guys did an excellent job!!I certainly will contact you next time I come across a glass film on any project I am working on. I will also forward and recommend you to the other Project Managers in our company.
The guys did a great job. The results are better than expected. Thank you
I wanted to say thank you for replacing the film on our kitchen door! I honestly didn't understand the reverse effects of the mirror tint at night and the new clear security film is much more appropriate for its current application. I look forward to recommending the General Solar Company to friends and family.
