You Could Have Stained Glass Windows for Christmas

Have you ever been in a new church that doesn't yet have stained glass windows?  Perhaps your congregation does not yet have their own building but instead leases commercial space as many do while they develop their building fund.

New churches and temporary location churches like these seldom have the money to invest in stained glass windows to give their meeting place the warm, traditional enhancement of stain glass windows. 

A good solution for this is stain glass window films.  Like real stain glass they permit light flow and add colour and warmth.  They also eliminate distrations from outside, particularly when you are meeting in a commercial space that may have surrounding businesses and industry.  Stain Glass window films give the look and feel of real stain glass, without the hefty price tag.  While they are a good interim measure for new buildings, they are so pretty that you may choose to leave them for the long term.

Stain glass window films can also be installed quickly compared to real stain glass, so if you are looking to add something special in time for your holiday services, now is the time to order stain glass window film! 

These films are also an affordable and authentic alternative to real stained glass for Holiday Displays and Theatrical Sets.

Can Window Film Crack Glass?

You may have heard that window films crack glass.

The short answer is, they shouldn't. The long answer is that window films that are installed appropriately do not crack glass. Unfortunately, there are too many cases where solar control window films and tints end up cracking glass because they are not installed appropriately. Here is the down-low...

Automotive Window Films: The prime suspect in architectural glass breakage from window films!
All too often, automotive window films have been (and continue to be) installed on architectural flat glass. In fact, we recently encountered such a complaint. A new customer, a municipal building, was having trouble getting approval for solar control window film as another recently constructed building had had its brand new windows crack in their first winter from films that had been installed. Upon further discussions it was learned that the contractor had subbed the window film work out to a company that had installed automotive window films.

Automotive window films are designed for auto glass application, a very different type of glass than that used in any building, either residential or commercial. Architectural, or flat glass, can not withstand the heat retention properties of auto tint. Fortunately, there are high quality solar control window films that have been designed for flat glass application. You can experience all of the benefits of solar control film, including, heat and UV blocking, glare reduction, and/or privacy without the worry that your windows will break.

Low-E Coated Thermal Pane Windows
If you have thermal pane windows on your home or office that have a low-e coating, it is not recommended that you use most solar control window films. Again, the effects of the two treatments may lead to glass breakage under certain conditions.

Large Thermal Panes with Uneven Sun Exposure
If you have very large panes of glass that receive uneven sun exposure, meaning that the glass may be partially shaded all or part of the day it is not recommended that you install solar control window films. Glass may crack due to the uneven heat distribution. In the case of large thermal panes we recommend getting the opinion of a reputable window film installer, and having the film installed professionally. Be sure that the work is warranted before proceeding.

Damaged Glass
Windows with pre-existing cracks, chips or other damage should be replaced before installing solar control window films. The window films may cause existing cracks to spread. Indeed most window film warranties will not cover windows with pre-existing damage.

If you are unsure, consult a professional before installing window films. Ask about glass break and seal failure warranties offered by the manufacturer.
