How Big is the Window Film Market?By John Parker, IWFA President

As president of the IWFA I am frequently asked this ques-tion. While there are a few niche research firms that try to gauge the size of the market I think it is probably pretty dif-ficult to measure.

But recently, our IWFA Executive Director Darrell Smith was invited to an Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-e) workshop of top officials, researchers and facilities executives from such places as the Department of Energy (DOE), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and others.

During the ARPA-e presentation the speaker shared some interesting facts that will give us all some food for thought, if not for our tables!

§ Buildings account for 40% of all energy used in the U.S., and windows alone are responsible for 25% of the energy consumed by a typical building.

§ 40% of US commercial buildings have single pane glass

§ 33% of US residential buildings have single pane glass

Given these figures for single pane glass alone, the market for flat glass window film is HUGE. These statistics may be a reason why more business professionals are recognizing the opportunity and getting into the window film business. The knowledge they bring is how to successfully run a business versus how to install window film. Some buy an existing busi-ness and work to expand its services and market.

The December / January edition of the IWFA View offered an example of this path in its Member Profile. Eric Hofer of Xlnt Tint Window Tinting of Owings, Maryland was profiled and not only did the former sales professional buy an exist-ing business, but the first thing he did was get in touch with the IWFA to expand his knowledge of window film. He also purchased the IWFA’s booklets and took its accreditation courses. He believes that next to his dealership, the IWFA is one of the best investments he’s made, since he is really

investing in himself when he sup-ports the IWFA.

The IWFA is a trade association created by businesses to act as a forum for working together in a “company neutral” fashion. Work-ing on behalf of the industry as a whole is critical to affect any mean-ingful change or improvements.

One of the great benefits of our association is the “all for one” representation of the industry within which it works. It provides

a broader resource of information when considering actions that could affect the marketplace.

Of course a “company neutral” environment is first and foremost a key requirement for trade associations. Companies are prohibited from discussing many items within the trade association environment. Specifics on pricing, production and capacity, what you make, who you sell to, are all off limits. These limitations turn out to be great “enablers” because they allow industry leaders to consider bigger issues.

Trade associations create the forum to ask questions regard-ing issues that affect the market as a whole. These are issues that are so broad that a single company working alone could not answer them all.

Here are Examples of Questions Pertinent to the Window Films Industry:

“How do the various automotive tint laws affect our industry?”

“How does window film fit in with changing building and safety codes?”

“How can we get energy companies to promote window film?”

“What information can we generate to aid governments and institutions?”

“What are the factors that restrict the growth of window film?”

“How can we better educate people about window film and spread the word about its many benefits?”

The IWFA works to embrace participation from all industry members. This means it is possible to influence its direction and all it takes is a little effort from an association’s member-ship. It’s also not a secret that most successful companies around the world participate in their industry association.

This is why the IWFA’s Members Action Committee (MAC) is so important and it is a privilege really to have the oppor-tunity to participate in the MAC.

Leading the MAC is a new chair, Jim Freeman of Tint America. Jim is filling the large footsteps left by its former chair Jack Mundy, president of Ener-Gard, Canada’s largest window film distributor that opened in 1978. Among many accomplishments, Jack was instrumental in focusing the MAC on programs that brought the IWFA to you through smaller, regional conferences that ensured more bang for the buck and this very magazine – The IWFA View, which is another forum for sharing helpful information for our members.

As we look ahead to spring and the busy season, keep in mind the size of the market. Don’t be afraid to help others get into the business and join in the action at the IWFA either though the MAC, contributing an article to the IWFA View or whatever you have in mind! The market is huge and there is plenty of ‘food’ in the form of single pane windows to feed all our families with a huge bounty!

HAPPY WINDOW FILMING!

Installing window film for vehicles is a great way to get into the window film business. Many dealers cut their teeth and their razor knives installing auto tint at an early age.

The benefits of window film for trucks and cars parallel the benefits of window film for homes and buildings. It can help keep cars cooler by knocking down the solar heat gain. In addition, as people spend more and more time in their vehicles either as commuters or in their jobs, they face more exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Studies have shown that in North America, drivers will often have damaged skin on their left side more pronounced than the right, and in countries such as Australia, where they drive on the other side of the road, the damage is on the opposite side of the upper half of their bodies.

The recognition that the sun’s UV rays can harm your skin through glass that does not have a quality window film on it is starting to penetrate the market. More dermatologists are recommending window film as ‘always on’ protection from the sun.

In addition window tint may reduce a car’s interior from fading, the dashboard from cracking and the wood grain from losing its luster.

Is Automotive Window Film Your Pathway to Success?

Another selling point is that window films will help to hold the glass together should it undergo a strong enough impact to causes breakage and help to prevent a rainfall of little glass square beads from showering a child or passenger strapped into their seat.

Installation prices can vary widely depending on the size of the windows, whether they are curved and the type of film wanted.

The opportunity for automotive window film installation is significant. Many installers establish a relationship with car dealers to offer tint services and even paint protection film.

To get started you may only need a few hundred dollars, a busi-ness license depending on your state or local laws and that’s it.

There is competition in most metropolitan areas, and that’s a good thing. If there are no competitors in the area, then that might be a red flag to be thrown up, since it could mean there’s no demand.

You can learn the business by trial and error without any training, but your customers might not appreciate it. The best way to get started is to get a job somewhere and learn from scratch. Often working with an established window tinting company is a great way to learn from an experienced installer.

In addition, the IWFA offers an informational booklet on automotive window tinting and accreditation. It’s worth ob-taining a copy of the IWFA Automotive Education Guide at www.iwfa.com.

The IWFA also offers a comprehensive guide on window tint laws for North America. It can found on the IWFA’s website in the Consumer section under Automotive Win-dow Film at IWFA State Law Charts For Automotive Film.

The last thing you want to be found doing is installing win-dow tint that breaks the law in your area, so follow the rules shared by the IWFA and you will last a lot longer in the business than if you fail to do so.

Harvard Study Forecast Slower Growth For Home Remodeling in 2015As the broader housing market continues its sluggish recovery, growth in home improvement spending is also expected to soften throughout the coming year, according to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) released by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. The LIRA projects annual growth in home improvement spending will decelerate from 6.3% in the first quarter of 2015 to 1.6% by the third quarter.

Using Natural Daylight – Offers Many BenefitsWindow films go hand in hand with the trend toward using the sun’s natural light to brighten the workplace and homes. However, too much of a good thing can cause problems – such as letting the sun have unrestricted access to the interior, which can lead to heat build-up, glare and UV damage to the skin and interior furnishings.

With window film in place a building can have the best of both worlds – controlling many of the sun’s negative impacts, while letting in abundant daylight.

Daylighting may: § Improve employee morale

§ Reduce absenteeism

§ Reduce errors

§ Improve product quality

§ Increase productivity

Human Performance BenefitsDaylighting provides superior quality, full-spectrum, flicker-free light that positively impacts behavior. People feel better with natural light, particularly during the dark days of winter. In study after study, daylighting may be correlated to dramatic improvements in human performance in retail, workplace and educational facilities.

With window film in place a building can have the best of both worlds – controlling many of the sun’s negative impacts, while letting in abundant daylight.

The Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza is located atop the landmark, 24-story mixed use Apparel Center. The hotel sits near the con-fluence of the East, North and South branches of the Chicago River. The complex was designed by Skidmore, Owing and Mer-rill, known for designing the tallest buildings in the world. The 2.5- million square foot riverfront complex opened in January 1977.

The hotel offers omni-directional views of the City with half its guestrooms having westerly and southern exposure with no over-shadowing from nearby office buildings. The 521-room hotel also includes a large sky-lit glass atrium and lobby that receives signifi-cant solar exposure. The hotel has 25,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, which includes floor to ceiling windows in its 15th floor meeting rooms.

Direct ultraviolet exposure from the sky-lit atrium, caused the hotels Front Desk employees to experience glare in the morn-ing until the sun arched across the horizon. This direct exposure made it difficult for them to perform their tasks. Additionally, so-lar loading created excessive heat build-up on the upper floors of the atrium thus creating uncomfortable temperatures year around. During the winter months, Air Conditioning had to be run mid-morning to late afternoon to mitigate the raised space tempera-ture. The hotel installed window treatment on the lobby level, but it blocked the magnificent views of the river and skyline.

As in all structures, the exterior of the building had to main-tain its prominent design. With its iconic location on the rivers bend, tourists partaking in river tours, Chicagoans on foot, and river traffic viewed the massive structure as they traversed on and near the river.

Guestrooms that faced south and west had solar loading and glare issues. Window treatment was left in varying positions causing a checkerboard effect as viewed from the street thus reducing its curb appeal.

Director of Facilities Bruno LaMountain, looked into ways to improve the comfort and climate of the hotel. At the time, the building was working toward LEED certification and was un-dergoing a $20-million redesign that included extensive ecologi-cal programs including installing window film (to reduce solar loading and subsequently energy costs).

John Parker, president of the IWFA and owner of National Se-curity & Window Filming, based in Oak Forest, IL, was con-tacted to meet with Bruno LaMountain and evaluate what ap-plication of window film would be best for the hotel. National Security & Window Filming is a family-owned and -operated business with more than a decade of experience in the installa-tion and service of window films.

John and his team came up with a solution and presented it to Bruno LaMountain, to install exterior window film designed to the atrium skylites due to the exposure to the elements and an-other window film for the guestrooms that would provide the protection from solar load and sun damage without darkening the fabulous views from the guestrooms. It was agreed upon and John’s team began to install window film. LaMountain tracked their progress by measuring various areas and substrates to de-termine temperature gradients and noted as much as a 20-degree delta in surface temperatures.

“Overall we have reduced the temperature in the lobby area sig-nificantly, said LaMountain, after the installation was complete in that area. “Now on hot summer days, the HVAC system can easily

handle the cooling load while maintaining electrical consumption; we now have extra cooling capacity”.

The guest rooms were the next phase of installation. Older existing window film was removed and new, more advanced window film installed. Reducing solar load and glare were achieved. Another benefit was the reducing of ultraviolet degradation on wood flooring, carpeting, fabrics, and window treatment. Other benefits include the reduction in the checkerboard appearance from street level.

With the window film project and other renovations completed, the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza was awarded a LEED ‘Gold’ Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (LEED® certifi-cation is the nationally accepted benchmark for design, construc-tion and operation of high performance green buildings).

Next LaMountain is considering having window film installed to the north side of the building to complete the uniform look and capture additional energy savings by blocking ultraviolet rays (win-dow film rejects up to 99 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet rays).

The International Window Film Association filmed an educa-tional video during a recent window film installation at a resi-dence in Manchester-by-the-Sea.

The home owner began research-ing window film as a way to protect her family and furnishings against harmful UV rays that would come through her large windows facing the ocean. She found that window film could block these rays while still allowing full view of the ocean without the need for curtains or blinds.

While boasting a low carbon foot-print, window film has many ben-efits including: regulating temperatures, therefore reducing cooling costs by up to 30%; and protects against 99% of Ultra Violet rays that come through windows which contributes to fading of carpeting, walls and the beautiful architecture of our homes.

In larger homes, such as the house in Manchester-by-the Sea and detailed in the video, keeping the interior temperatures

consistent is often a challenge. Often large win-dows create hot-spots, and blinds are shut to avoid this. This creates the need for more artificial lighting which con-sumes more energy. With win-dow film, people can enjoy free, natural light without hot-spots and the cooling and heating sys-tem can work more efficiently.

“Window film is a product that has many benefits for people and property,” said Darrell Smith, ex-ecutive director of the IWFA.

“This video will help show people what those benefits are and why it is a smart choice from both health and economic standpoints.”

New Film Offerings from Hanita Coatings

This month, Hanita Coatings’ teams from over the globe met up at headquarters in Israel for a celebratory conference. The event concluded Hanita’s 30th anniversary

year, and included serious discussions on future developments in the window film industry, strategic directions, and a review of 2014. Most importantly, attendees gained hands-on insight into the new films due to be launched over the next few months.

Let’s take this opportunity to give IWFA readers a sneak peek of a few of the products due to hit the shelves over the spring. Following the success of the e-Lite 70 spectrally selective film launched last year, we’re adding three more films to the range: a darker e-Lite 45, targeting the retail, commercial and residential market, and two exterior Xtra versions of e-Lite 70 and 45. The Xtra exterior films deliver remarkable performance – in fact, with a luminous efficacy rating of 1.04, e-Lite 45 Xtra is

probably the only truly Spectrally Selective film available in the mid-light transmission range. Both e-Lite 45 Xtra and 70 Xtra deliver a superb, high clarity solution to effectively upgrading the most sophisticated glazing systems without risk of thermal breakage.

Hanita is in the process of rebranding its Neutral film classic Cold Steel series, with a different name and fresh marketing materials. The new PerLite brand better reflects the advanced ceramic technology behind the film, a patented process that delivers excellent solar energy rejection together with surprisingly low reflectance. The name change from Cold Steel has also been registered with the NFRC, with the previous Cold Steel NFRC listings updated to PerLite.

The HanitaTek partnership program, launched late 2014, is picking up speed with new partners joining from across the US each week.

Member Profile

Jim Freeman, New MAC Chair Owner of Tint America Film

Jim Freeman, owner of Tint America in Littleton, CO is the new chair of the Members Action Committee - the MAC as it is known by the membership.

He has been involved in the MAC since its birth about five years ago, starting with a call with its primary driver and guiding hand Jack Mundy, a long-time IWFA Board member and officer on the Board.

“It is a great challenge, but I expect it to be a fun one! I certainly have big shoes to fill left by Jack Mundy, but is it’s a privilege to lead the MAC,” said Freeman. “I always want to be active in the IWFA since you get more out of it and you can bring more value to the members,” he added.

Freeman explained that what the MAC does is reach out to members to bring their voices into focus at the highest levels of the IWFA. Through the MAC, members’ voices can be heard first-hand and unfiltered and best of all, they get a response back.

For the MAC, there certainly is a lot happening this year. An important objective for 2015 is to build on the success of the program. This year the plan is to focus on communicating member benefits, improving our accreditation programs and holding, up to two, regional conferences.

“We would love to have more volunteers, because the bigger the MAC gets the more things we can accomplish. We have so much going on now, Window Film 101, Did You Know email-blasts, the bi-monthly IWFA View newsletter, monthly status calls and occasional face-to-face meetings. The MAC not only offers a great way to advance the IWFA, but also the opportunity to establish long-lasting relationships within the industry, which can only improve your overall business prospect.”

About Jim FreemanAbout a decade ago, Jim was the North American sales director for NEC Corporation, a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies. In this role he was frequently on the road 5-6 days a week. “When my daughter was around three years old, I decided I did not want to miss any more family life, I wanted to be there in person, not just on the phone. I looked for a business to acquire and found Tint America from a broker. After six months I decided to give it a try. That was around 2006,” he said.

The previous owner of Tint America had family back in Michigan and he wanted to move back. He still occasionally does installation and sales for Jim to this day.

Originally the company (founded in 1986) did installations across the US, mainly because it had an agreement with a large national retailer to install window film on their big box stores. However things changed after it filed for bankruptcy.

Jim tried automotive window tinting for about four years, but a decided it wasn’t a good match for the firm. Now they are now focused on flat glass across all of Eastern Colorado.

“Today, we do a lot of ski resorts, high-end homes and office buildings,” said Jim. His wife is involved in many aspects of the business and there is always work for his staff and subcontractors at the 2,700 square foot shop located in Littleton, Colorado.

Much Jim’s business comes from referrals, glass companies and general contractors that often ask his company to put window film on new developments. He also belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, ASID, and many other local organizations.

The IWFA View February – March 2015 11

Free Advice From JimBeing located at a high altitude has its advantages and its problems. “There is so much to learn in the business,” said Freeman. “In a high altitude climate the impact of solar energy on glass is far different than the flatlands. I have learned more about glass than I did when I first came into the business. And UP here, not all films make sense, so you have to choose carefully, with a lot of knowledge about glass or otherwise you can face some problems.”

“There ‘s more to the business than just buying a roll of film and putting it on a window. If you are going to have longevity you really have to understand film. Here warranty is a big issue such as seal failure and breakage. Three to five years down the road you may need to handle warranty claims. So if you price the job correctly then you will be running the company for a long time versus people who try to be too cheap and often are not long in the business.”

Why did you join the IWFA?“I have always known about it and I always look at the association that supports my career and business goal, so it was natural for me to join, plus the previous owner was a member,” said Freeman.

Freeman believes that being a member of the IWFA brings credibility. “I show customers my accreditations (he holds ALL IWFA accreditations) and people will pay a little bit more and look at you with better viewpoint, especially if you say you are actively involved in the profession. Most people take professionals seriously. And I take the IWFA seriously and glad its here to help all of us!”

(Member Profile, from page 10)

Jim keeps a log of all work and always notes how the customer heard about his firm. “We probably receive two or three referrals a month from customers on the IWFA website,” said Freeman.

How Customer-Driven R&D Helped Madico Develop New Paint Protection Film

For vehicle owners who care about keeping their car or truck looking shiny and new, roadway debris like stones, gravel, winter salt and even

bug residue can be a big problem. Even little nicks and scratch-es can be expensive to repair. Paint protection films that are re-silient and offer top-notch scratch protection is a fast growing segment in the automotive film market today.

That’s why Madico invested several years of research and devel-opment efforts to develop Invisi-Film, a high-performance film designed and manufactured by Madico that protects a vehicle’s finish from virtually any of these minor roadway nuisances, in-cluding stones, gravel, sand, scratches, bug residue, winter salt, and other flying objects. It’s designed to work on any road or terrain – including the most challenging country trails.

Madico has developed films for the automotive aftermarket for windshields, sunroofs, side and rear windows and other applications for many years. In addition, Madico offers unique solutions for the automotive OEM market.

Our R&D efforts are customer-driven. The company’s entire lineup of trusted and high quality automotive films have been developed with the input of our customers in mind. The com-pany’s R&D and engineering teams invest significant resources in developing new technologies that balance light transmission, energy management, and safety aspects of glass windows, sun-roofs and other optical applications.

Our strong collaboration with automotive aftermarket part-ners helps the company to create products that have reduced costs and better product performance. These collaboration ef-forts helped lead to the development of Invisi-Film and will continue to be an important part of the company’s product development in the future.
