I want to apply solar film to my windows at my home.
*Options I considered for this project:
If I want film that is tinted or metalized.
*Questions and unexpected events that arose during the project:
Cost and budget was very unexpected to have professional installation.
* Cost Comments:
cost based on number of windows and type of film selected.
*My motivation to do this project:
Additional way to reduce electric bill by not having to run ac unit as much.
*Project Steps:
I have researched the benefits of window tinting for residential energy savings. Not only does saving 25% to 50% of my electrical bill by insulating the windows.
Step 2- I called 3 professional contractors for budget pricing and estimates.
Step 3- I found a get website- www.3m.com 3M is one of the leading manufacturers for films on their site you can budget your project with online calculators and get tons of information regarding the installation and cost effectiveness of solar film.
Step 4: Select vendor or by materials to install film myself. After all my research, I have decided to install the film myself.
Advice:
Do your research. It just might save you hundreds of dollars (which can add up)
