Pricing: $9- $18

Problem: High utility bills/hot and cold spots
Solution: Low-E Window Films
Pricing: 20-$24 per square foot
Utility: Low-E window films stop heat transfer from the glass of your windows in the summer and also excel at keeping the air you pay to heat indoors (where it belongs) during the winters. So, these films solve problems with both energy efficiency and UV and glare while making your home more comfortable.
Problem: More home security needed or a cost-effective alternative to tempered glass
Solution: Safety And Security Films
Pricing: $8-16 per square foot
Utility: To keep your home safer and protect against a potential break-in, basic security films are needed to keep glass held in place even after being struck. Should someone try to break a window in your home to enter–they will have a very hard time because the glass stays adhered to the film and in place Also, safety window film is a way to get your home glass features (shower doors, balcony glass, etc) up to code for significantly less cost to you.
