Performance Notes:
- Performance results are calculated using NFRC methodology and LBNL Window software, applied to 1/4″ (6mm) clear glass and are subject to variations within industry standards and only intended for estimating purposes. This data is provided for informational purposes only and subject to normal manufacturing variances.
- Performance results for glare and fade reduction are calculated by comparing filmed glass to that of untreated glazing.
The Reflective Powerhouse
Reflective window film is a game-changer, especially in NYC’s sweltering summers. PureVue™ is also ‘dual reflective,’ which means they have an exterior reflective surface maximizing heat rejection—translating to fantastic energy savings—and a neutral interior side to maintain your views, especially during the magical New York nights. With the potential to reduce glare by up to a whopping 94%, you can say goodbye to those squinty afternoons.
Guarded
Against Nature’s Challenges
Being optimally suited for demanding coastal environments, PureVue™ stands as a testament to durability and strength. Living in New York exposes your windows to a variety of challenges. The harmful UV light rejection not only ensures protection for you and your family but also safeguards your interior furnishings and finishes from premature fading and sun damage. It’s more than just a window film; it’s a shield that stands guard, come rain, shine, or the fierce NYC snow.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Wallet-Friendliness
Beyond aesthetics and protection, PureVue™ Ceramic Window Film offers a feature that many New Yorkers will truly appreciate: sustainability. By rejecting a significant portion of solar energy, this film keeps your indoor environment cooler, reducing the need for artificial cooling.
Save Money and the Environment
This leads to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. PureVue™ is more than just a window film; it’s a commitment to a greener, more sustainable NYC. In a city that never sleeps, choose a window solution that works tirelessly to save both the environment and your hard-earned money.

Comprehensive Warranty
PureVue™ Ceramic window film is protected with manufacturers warranty and guaranteed for up to 12 years. To get more details about warranty please download it here.
How long does PureVue™ ceramic window film last, and does it come with a warranty?
PureVue™ by Solar Gard is backed by a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty for residential applications and a multi-year warranty for commercial projects. The film is engineered to resist peeling, bubbling, and color fading for 10-15 years under normal NYC conditions. Total Window Service handles all warranty claims directly with Solar Gard on your behalf.
Do I need building management approval to install window film in my NYC apartment or co-op?
In most NYC co-ops and condos, window film installation requires board approval since windows are considered part of the building envelope. We recommend checking your building’s alteration agreement before scheduling. Total Window Service can provide a full spec sheet and certificate of compliance to support your approval request – something most NYC boards require.
How long does the installation take, and can I stay in my apartment during the process?
A standard residential installation takes 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows. The process is clean and non-invasive – no dust, no heavy equipment, no need to vacate. After installation, a 30-day curing period begins during which minor water bubbles or slight fogginess may appear. This is completely normal and resolves on its own.
Can PureVue™ ceramic film be removed if I want to change it later?
Yes. Unlike window tinting solutions that bond permanently to the glass, PureVue™ film can be professionally removed and replaced without damaging your existing glass. This is especially relevant for renters or building owners who anticipate future renovations or need to switch to a different film category – such as upgrading to a safety or anti-graffiti film.
Does PureVue™ work on double-pane (IGU) windows common in NYC high-rises?
This is a critical question many installers overlook. Certain window films, when applied to insulated glass units (IGUs), can cause thermal stress and void the window manufacturer’s warranty. PureVue™ ceramic film has a low solar heat gain coefficient specifically designed to minimize thermal stress on double-pane glass. Total Window Service assesses your window type during the free onsite inspection before recommending the right film variant.
Does ceramic window film help with heat retention in winter as well, or is it only for summer heat rejection?
PureVue™ ceramic film provides year-round benefits. In winter, the low-emissivity properties help retain interior heat, reducing heat loss through the glass. In a NYC building with older single-pane windows, this translates to measurable savings on heating costs – not just air conditioning. The film acts as an additional thermal layer without the bulk or appearance of secondary glazing.
