Permanently Installed Armorcoat® Gives Business Owners Peace of Mind

Along the Gulf Coast, the need to prepare for violent weather is an obvious fact. Homeowners have taken serious steps to protect their homes and possessions, yet many business owners have no plan in place to protect their business infrastructure; or their buildings, from the devastation that these storms can bring.

Computers, files, and other vital data may be lost. Manufacturing equipment is down. Cash flow is interrupted, and employees are out of work. Bringing it all back on line could take weeks, or even months.

 Armorcoat® Safety and Security Film is a proven, affordable way to secure your facility. This tough clear polyester film, applied to all your windows, can withstand wind, impact from airborne debris, and rain damage, by holding your glass in place during a storm. After a storm, it can protect your office from looting and vandalism.

 Once Armorcoat® is installed, there is no further preparation required. It is a passive protection system; permanently installed so there is “no assembly required.”  Armorcoat® is available in both clear and “sun control” versions – an obvious benefit for those areas where discomfort from sun and heat intrusion may be a problem, or you want to optimize energy savings.

 If you have a business in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Venice, or the surrounding area, call Solar-X of Sarasota today, for a no-obligation consultation.

Business owners and property managers are also eligible for rebates when installing “sun control” versions of Armorcoat Safety and Security Film.

250+SPF? You Must Be Joking!

That’s right!  The Sun Protective Factor (SPF) from an installation of window film is better than 250! Think you can’t get skin cancer while in your own home? Wrong! Dangerous Ultraviolet rays come through your windows right along with the visible light all day long. That’s why the Skin Cancer Foundation endorses the use of Panorama® window film on windows and glass doors to protect yourself from harmful UV radiation. Many dermatologists recommend window film as well.

That same great protection can also reduce fading of drapes, carpeting, furniture and artwork - shielding your home’s interior with the 250+ SPF factor that is so effective in protecting you and your loved ones from the harmful rays of the sun.

Solar-X of Sarasota can show you a host of UV screening window film products that can give you peace of mind in knowing that your family and possessions are well protected. Our extensive line of SolarGard®, Panorama®, and Armorcoat® window films can do more than just make you comfortable. They can quite literally, “save your hide”.

Solar-X of Sarasota and HiLite 70: “Clearly” A Winning Combination

We at Solar-X have been selling high quality window film since 1973. Over that span of nearly four decades, there has been a common misconception that all films are “too dark”, or “too shiny”, or “not natural-looking“. While we don’t expect everyone to keep up with the latest developments in the window film industry, it’s time that we boot that myth to the curb, and fill the buying public in on a spectacular product called HiLite 70®. HiLite 70 is a spectrally selective window film; meaning that it discriminates against certain wavelengths in the light spectrum. One group of wavelengths it doesn’t discriminate against is the visible light portion; in other words, it lets most of the visible light through – resulting in a film that is virtually clear. This incredibly high light transmission (72%), combined with  a 99%+ screening of harmful ultraviolet light, and a total solar energy reduction of 55% result in a film of unparalleled clarity and performance. There is no “reflective” appearance – in fact, HiLite 70® mimics the same reflective characteristics as glass with no film – no dark appearance, and because the film is virtually undetectable once installed, it leaves the view completely uncompromised – both day and night!

Now let’s talk about “price” and “value”. Does HiLite 70® cost more than regular window film? Of course it does! That is “price”. But if you place any “value” on unrestricted, natural views; then “value” is what HiLite delivers. Remember; you can cool a six pack of beer and $150 worth of groceries just as easily in a $500 refrigerator as you can in a $5000 Sub-Zero, but which would you rather have in your dream kitchen?

Safe for installation on all types of glass; including “impact” and insulated glass, HiLite 70® – like all Panorama® window films – is covered with our exclusive “Premier Plus” warranty; the most expansive warranty coverage in the industry bar none. Performance certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) .

Solar-X of Sarasota is proud to have been honored as “2008 HiLite Dealer of the Year“. Call us today for a free, no obligation presentation of this sensational product!

The number one reason that residential customers choose window film is to protect their valuable furniture, draperies, art and collectibles - even their flooring – from fading. With this in mind, you should know a few things. The myth. The vast majority of people associate the effects of fading entirely with ultraviolet light. It is therefore very easy to understand why they might assume that a window film product with a 99% ultraviolet rejection rating could eliminate fading from their home. However, since other factors contribute to fading, one needs to understand the “rest of the story.” The facts. It is very important to understand that ultraviolet light contributes only 40% to the total fading problem. Visible light contributes 25%, and solar energy (heat) contributes another 25%, resulting in a full 50% contribution to the problem. The remaining 10% of what causes fading is directly tied to the quality, (or lack of quality), of the dyes used in furnishings, fabric, and carpet. Understanding this makes it easier to see why stopping only ultraviolet light will not eliminate fading. No solar control window film product is guaranteed to stop or cure a fading problem. However, professional quality window film can significantly reduce fading caused by ultraviolet, visible light, and solar energy. The degree of protection you obtain is closely tied to the type of film that you select. Don’t forget! You are also protecting yourself! There are two types of UV radiation; UVA and UVB, which damage skin and increase your risk for skin cancer. Bekaert films provide sunscreen-like protection while you’re in your home. Many of our films are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation! If you are interested in learning more about protecting your furnishings from fading, contact Solar-X of Sarasota today.
