Deed Restrictions? Nano Ceramic Window Films Meet the Test

May 4, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Window Films have long been an anathema to Architectural Committees in Deed Restricted Communities throughout the United States. The alteration of the windows into highly reflective mirrors is an obvious violation of the covenants that homeowners sign to live in Gated and Deed Restricted communities and sub divisions. This issue has been resolved with a host of new and innovative products. These new innovative films like Huper Optik Nano-Ceramic Window Films and Vista Window Films have launched a new era in the window film business. Here in Tampa Bay, our clientele is immediately put off by highly reflective films. These reflective films are extremely effective in reducing heat gain and UV. Many of the combination Window Films provide the usual benefits of window films. Unfortunately the major trade-off; an increased reflectivity of windows is a “show stopper” down-side. Anticipating this concern the innovative 21st Century window films use a different nanotechnology process to factor out a greater % of the infrared wavelength. By using these advanced ceramic materials, Huper Optik, for example, can provide far greater amounts of visible light and reduce the reflectivity of glass while maximizing invisible heat at the near and far infrared. This provides the homeowner with an exquisite solution. More light -Less heat. These dual benefit films like Huper 50 Ceramic Film and Vista Terre, and Harmony 40 drive energy costs down while simultaneously allowing more light into the home. deed Restrictions no longer apply because the window appearance is virtually unaltered. Further, the simple fact that these films have no metals allows for cellular phone reception, satellite transmissions and Fiber Optic high speed Internet and television transmissions. Now condo owners as well as residents in gated communities can get the heat relief and the approvals of their Architectural Communities. Many of these films are available in wider width (6 foot) thicker 8 ML versions that meet the windstorm and impact test requirements under the various building codes including ASTM 1886 (4.5 LB missile test- annealed and tempered glass) These outstanding window films like Huper Optik and Vista have taken the shine out of window films but the improved performance of nanotechnology ceramic window films will shine a new light on energy and security costs!
