Building and construction industries are rapidly changing in order to keep pace with consumer demands for improved energy efficiency, safety and architectural appeal of the buildings in which they work and reside. An overall understanding of all window films is essential to remain current.
Energy conservation, sustainable design and security have become integral elements of design/build and renovation projects.
