Yes, Panorama window film can be installed to any window. However, the important thing for any Panorama Dealer/Installer to check is the extent in which the film absorbs solar energy. Darker films absorb more solar energy and will greatly heat glass. If part of a window is shaded in this instance, it can lead to thermal stress sometimes to the point of a window breaking (thermal break). In the case of double glazing (IG Units), installing too dark of a window film on the interior glass may result in an increase in the temperature of that window compared with the outer window. The expansion may ultimately cause the seal between the windows to break. This is why Panorama window film is only installed by Bekaert’s expert network of Panorama Dealers/Installers, to ensure the right film is used considering all circumstances.
