Dear James: I tried installing window film to block glare and heat, but it never looked right. When I remove it, what are some tips for installing it properly this time?—Neal S.
Dear Neal: When applied properly to a window, film can be an attractive improvement to your home. It can certainly reduce the summer heat, and, if you select the proper type of window film, it can keep your family warmer in the winter, too. The reduced glare indoors, especially in the afternoon, can make it much more comfortable on your eyes.
