The glass in older buildings accumulates flaws such as hairline fractures, scuffs, scratches, and chips over time. These flaws develop over time into dull-looking windows that don’t function properly. Replacing windows is a costly proposition. However, there is a cost-effective method for repairing the glass in your Raleigh building’s windows: exterior window resurfacing with high-end films. These films are applied to the outside of your structure’s windows rather than on the inside to hide the damage while also delivering practical advantages like energy efficiency, glare control, and UV protection.

We sell many of these films but below are some of our Raleigh customer’s favorite and frequent choices. 

The Best Exterior Refinishing Film to Stand up To Bad Weather: Vista

Vista Exterior Window Films are some of the greatest sun-blocking and weather-resistant materials available for the Raleigh area, keeping spaces cool even on hot summer days. This high-performance exterior film is scratch-resistant as well as being dirt and moisture repellent. Vista performs exceptionally well on buildings with nonrectangular glass surfaces, such as atriums, skylights, and conservatory roofs.

The Best All-Around Exterior Refinishing Films: 3M 

When it comes to enhancing the appearance of your windows, there is no better film than 3M. It’s among our customers’ favorite exterior refinishing films for clarity and low reflectivity. This means it improves the views from your Raleigh building’s windows rather than hiding them. Exterior films produced by 3M are also strong. They have a 99% rejection rate for infrared light and can save you money on energy bills by up to 40%.

Best Value Exterior Refinishing Film: Solar Gard

Solar Gard Sentinel Plus Outside Weatherable (OSW) films combine affordability and effectiveness in a way that no other product on the market can. These films are an excellent value for windows that have cracks and chips or look dull and dated. SolarGard, on the other hand, is a much more cost-effective option than replacing windows. Building managers will also save money on heating and cooling expenditures because of SolarGard’s brand identity, which also serves as an additional layer of insulation.
