Marietta Couple Gets CoolVu Transitional Window Film Installation for Their New Home

May 19, 2023

Robert and Lynn Wilson had recently moved their family from Tacoma, WA, where the weather is often gray and rainy. They were looking for a change of scenery and thought the south would be ideal, so they chose the Marietta area in Georgia for its mix of business, entertainment, and suburban life.


The couple purchased a nice brick home in the suburbs near where Robert would be working. The home was perfect for the family, with six bedrooms, two and a half baths, a sunroom, bay windows, and a sizable arch-shaped window on the second-floor hallway overlooking the front of the property. It was also a short distance to plenty of shopping and entertainment.

Having heard about Georgia's hot, humid summers, the Wilsons knew they would need to prepare. The windows in their previous home had been fitted with CoolVu's ceramic window films, so they were familiar with the quality of the company's products and their excellent service.

They looked for a local CoolVu and were happy to find CoolVu of Marietta. Lynn visited the website and used their live chat option to speak with a representative.

She told them about their experience with CoolVu in the past, reinforcing how satisfied they'd been with their services and the quality of their window films. She set an appointment to meet with a technician named Ivan to visit their new home the next day.

Although the couple was familiar with CoolVu, they wanted to customize the installation for their new home. They told Ivan their big concern was the heat during the day and adding a layer of privacy from the street outside the home.

After looking at the windows and listening to the couple's concerns, Ivan suggested transitional window films. Ivan told the couple that CoolVu's transitional window films are made with a proprietary manufacturing process that creates the world's only "stable photochromic," light-sensitive film. He said the window film would "transition" from a lighter state to a darker, more tinted state when exposed to direct sun, providing more privacy during the day and an 80% reduction in infrared heat gain.


The Wilsons were confident with Ivan's suggestions and made an appointment to have CoolVu of Marietta come out to do the job. Ivan and another technician arrived on time and were ready to transform the house to meet the needs of the Wilsons.

They went to work, carefully installing the transitional window film on the front of the house, where it was most needed. They cut and fit the window films, then applied them with a special adhesive, ensuring they would stay in place and look great for many years.

When the work was finished, the Wilsons went outside to admire the job. They could see how the transitional film had a darker tint and felt confident it would make a considerable difference in reducing the heat and glare allowed into the home during the hottest part of the day while minimizing the view inside.

Coupled with the savings they knew they'd see in their energy costs and the overall comfort level from the 80% reduction in heat gain, the Wilsons knew they'd made the right call and were happy with how the installation had turned out.

Over the coming days, several neighbors commented on the window films. Several even said they would contact CoolVu of Marietta for their comfort.
