Winterize Your Home with Low-E Window Film

Insulate Windows Inside

In a recent article on www.TheDailyGreen.com they offered 19 Easy Home Winterization Projects to "make your home feel warmer without turning up the heat."

Tip number nine caught our interest as they suggested installing a window insulation kit (you know that plastic sheet you stick around your window and then discard in the spring) or they suggest to "Save even more by hiring a pro to install a high-tech 'low-e' film directly to the window glass."

In a related article, TheDailyGreen indicates that low-e coatings can reduce heat loss through old windows by 40% and comment that this is a great 'DIY' project.

Frankly, we couldn't agree more!

Low-E window films (short for low-emissivity) are ideal for the energy conserving home or business owner.  Not only do they reflect warm air back into the home during the winter (radiant heat) to keep heat from your furnace from escaping, They also reflect the suns heat back out in the summer reducing strain on air conditioners.  This makes low-e window films a great choice for year-round energy conservation and home comfort.

Do-it-yourselfers can order DIY low-e window films from Apex Window Films online for delivery to your door across the United States and Canada.
