One of the long-standing and popular styles of film that Window Film Systems has been supplying and installing for over four decades is solar control film. Solar film provides a myriad of benefits to your home from glare and heat control to reduction of fading with UV protection and aesthetics. I could go on about why it continues to be the top-selling window film for homeowners, but that is another blog.

Reliable Madico Solar Control Film to Keep You Covered

Window Film Systems uses Madico solar control films. Madico is a company with a long and reputable history that stretches back over 100 years and is one of the world’s leading solar window film manufacturers. They also back their product with an excellent warranty. Although the risk of needing to use the warranty is low, we want you to know the facts.

5- Year Glass Breakage & Seal Failure Warranty

There are many types of stress that can cause glass to break, but thermal stress is the only one that can occasionally occur to sunlit glass with window film installed to it, due to absorption of heat/solar radiation. Simply, if the window is installed too tightly in the opening, then once there is expansion because of the heat gain, there’s no place for the glass to go and it cracks under stress.  There are other factors that can cause thermal stress to glass that have nothing to do with solar film, and we will qualify any of these possibilities with you during a consult. But to ease any concerns a client may have about thermal stress damage, Madico’s SunScape solar control film has you covered with a 5 Year Glass Breakage Warranty and for windows that are currently under a window manufacturer’s warranty, a 5 Year IG Unit Seal Failure Warranty.

Your windows with Madico solar film installed will be covered up to $750 USD against breakage and/or seal failure due to thermal stress for a period of 5 years following installation of the film. The process that Madico has put in place to honour this warranty is simple and Window Film systems helps you all along the way.

Protect Your Windows with Lifetime Product Warranty

In addition to the above coverage, Madico also offers a Lifetime Product Warranty. In the unlikely event that you experience any issues such as adhesive failure, bubbling, cracking, or exceptional change in colour, you will be covered for the removal and replacement of new film.

Important to note, these warranty coverages are non-transferable. They are applicable to the purchaser of the window film and are extended to the owner of the residence at the time of film purchase. They are also only valid when installed by an authorized Madico solar film dealer. That’s us! So don’t wait any longer to invest in solar film for you home.  Call us for more information and a no-obligation quote.
