Transparent Window Films for Privacy and Security
We are incredibly thrilled with the excellent work that Neil and his team from Apex Window Films did on our windows.
Our downtown Toronto 100+ semi-detached Victorian house was just renovated and we needed to find a creative solution to address the privacy concerns we had with a few windows in the house. One window is in the bathroom and the other window faces directly into the window of our next door neighbour. Thank god I stumbled across Apex Window Films' extensive website which included a large number of samples of all different kinds of window films for residential and commercial uses; both for privacy purposes as well as security purposes. Neil came to the house for an on-site visit and we discussed the various options. He was very knowledgeable and was able to provide valuable guidance, based on our needs.
For consistency, we finally selected the fading blinds privacy film for the 2 windows which lets the light in but maintains our privacy. We also installed transparent security film on our new French doors leading out to the deck which is strong enough to discourage attempts at breaking and entering. In addition, to avoid having our bay windows in the family room totally exposed during the day time, we also had a transparency film installed with a 20% mirror effect that addresses this issue. You can't even tell that there is anything on the windows but the 20% mirror effect is just enough to provide us with a modicum of privacy during the daytime.
Rather than installing the window films ourselves, we arranged for Apex Window Films' installers to handle that. They were very polite, professional and efficient and did an amazing job.
I was pleasantly surprised that Apex's quote was so reasonable. It was truly great value for excellent work that only enhances our house.
We are very grateful to Neil and the Apex team for doing a top-notch job. Neil followed up with me afterwards by phone to ensure that the installation went well and to confirm whether we had any issues. Now that's great service!
- Approximate cost of services:
- $1,000.00
- What could this company do to improve their services?
- Absolutely nothing. Everything went so smoothly from beginning to end. Can't ask for more than that.
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- The homeowner should spend some time going through Apex's comprehensive website to select a number of samples and should ask the Apex rep to show them those samples at the meeting to get an idea of how they will look against their windows.
