Many of our Customers Probably have no clue what a Energy Analysis is (As seen below)! It is a very useful tool, used for finding a film that will solve energy problems on any sized building. It will also tell you helpful information about your Rate of return on your investment in the Film! 

Many of the figures can be adjusted to create a custom analysis for your building! These are tools that experts at Made In The Shade Inc use to help you! Remember that energy savings are not the only way Films can save you money! How much is your favorite piece of art or furniture worth? What is you and your families comfort worth?
 
Maybe you live in a high crime area or a hurricane area; What is your Safety worth?

Below is an example of a Energy Analysis!

Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Dear Mr.
The attached economic analysis report was completed using Demand Analyzer, an energy simulation software package developed by ITEM Systems. As demonstrated within the report, the application of energy conservation products to your building may result in significant energy cost savings. For the products considered, the projected annual savings is $2,691 and the minimum payback period is 5.13 years.
Demand Analyzer utilizes the U.S. Department of Energy's sophisticated DOE-2 building energy analysis software for estimating energy savings for building projects. DOE-2 is a whole-building analysis program that calculates energy use and operating cost for each hour of the year, using typical weather data for the selected location. DOE-2 is widely used by consulting engineers for the design of energy-efficient buildings; by researchers for impact analysis of new heating, cooling and lighting technologies; and by state and federal agencies for developing energy-efficiency standards. DOE-2 is internationally recognized for the accuracy of its energy analysis algorithms as well as its ability to model a variety of buildings, HVAC systems and energy conservation measures. Additional information about ITEM Systems and Demand Analyzer is available at http://www.item.com and DOE-2 information can be found at http://gundog.lbl.gov.
The attached report summarizes the input data used to model your building and the resulting energy and cost savings for the selected Window Film products. You can be confident that your choice in installing these Window Films for your building is the right decision. Trusted and respected all over the world, these manufactures offer the best products to help you save money and assist in maintaining a comfortable building environment.
Thank you for your consideration of MITS Inc Film products.
Sincerely,
David E Ewing
President / CEO

Window Film U.S.A. and it's Affiliates Solve Sun Control, Energy and Fade Problems Across Country!

A Window Film company unlike any other...
Can only happen through the joined effort, experience and knowledge, of many successful dealers!

Made In The Shade Inc. and partner Window Film USA, is the natural evolution of window film from a local parochial business model, to a consumer focused Internet speed, national business. Attempted by others in the past, but poorly performed.

At the foundation of this model is David Ewing, President and CEO of Made In The Shade Inc. (in business since 1980!) with his 33 years of experience in the Window Film/Tint industry and another veteran, Mr. Mike Feldman. Who is President and CEO of Florida's Advanced Film Solutions. They met through their business dealings, while both working with 3M. 

David E Ewing is a former Advanced Certified Trainer for the 3M Company (for 12 years), and Mike Feldman was with 3M for 33 years; Feldman held numerous positions at 3M including National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film (Scotchtint and Scotchshield) for a few brief years.

Feldman retired from 3M in early 2007 as Florida's main Corporate Sales Representative, then with the encouragement, support and constant advisement of MR. Ewing, launched the hugely successful Advanced Film Solutions, which serves Tampa, and now the entire state of Florida.

Mike Feldman, has taken hold of the Florida market while David and Leslie Ewing maintain superior management of local MITS Inc. in Mesa AZ . 

Dealers like David E Ewing have been advantageous to Michael Feldman, in expanding his focus on the national launch of Window Film USA.Com.

The WF.U.S.A. goal is to offer our expertise in window films augmented by the widest and deepest array of Industry Leading Window Film Solutions and it's installation. This provides our clients with a concise analysis of the best fit for our customer's requirements rather than a "one size fits all" mode too many of our competitors continue to demonstrate. 
This philosophy had been capitalized on early on in David Ewing's ownership of MITS Inc.. 

In the mid and late 90's. Mr Feldman as a 3M rep often solicited Mr. Ewing to be solely 3M, but he often said, "that he would probably do the same as David and offer many Brands of Film to insure he solved the customer's problems,"

In particular we now (MITS INC. and Window Film U.S.A.) focus our window film/covering solutions as a counter to; the perception of cheap or low price and chose quality or innovation, and ignore simple brand loyalty. We choose objectivity and results for our diverse costumers!

This puts us in direct competition with the "stuck with 1 or 2 manufactures, dealer" and their business model. For Window Film USA and it's affiliates, that's exactly where we all wanted to be.

We cut through layers of sales mumbo jumbo and hyperbole and let's face it...LIES! To get to the solution of your REAL problem!

For Local Assistance with these needs: Films; Solar Control, Safety and Security, Designer and Graphic Film And Coverings; Exterior and Interior Roller Shades and Screens and Sun Screensall types of Window Blinds and Coverings and Shutters!) Please Contact us at:

Is Your Home or Office Secure? Times are tuff and Crime is on the rise!

Over the years that I have lived in the Valley of the sun (34), I have often been astonished at peoples false since of security. Not locking doors and windows, having hidden spots around their home or office without security lights or other preventative measures. Leaving huge rocks by the windows for Burglars to use to break in! 

I call this mentality the "Vacation Syndrome" People are so happy to live here and they enjoy the weather so much that they slip into a state of comfort or euphoria. This coupled with normal day to day habits and complacency and you have a recipe for disaster! 

The Valley and the cities that make it up, have some of the highest crime rates in the country! Security of any building or vehicle needs to be a paramount concern to everyone! 
Below are a few frames of me breaking glass; it is from a show we did on TV. We called it "Will it break" , it was big fun and it consisted of us throwing things at the Safety and Security Film treated window until we got to something that broke it. We finally broke it with a big boulder and I then went at it with a sledge hammer and pry bar! The resulting noise after a minute was so loud from the neighborhood dogs, that it would have deterred a thief! I never got a hole big enough to stick my hand in!



This particular window had a maximum security film application: On the outside is; 6ml clear Safety Film with a 3/8" bead of Dow 995 Structural Adhesive attaching the film and glass to the metal frame. On the inside is a 4ml Sun Control Security Film with the Dow 995 Attachment. Even if this system were only on the inside, it is still formidable, and in fact is used for bomb blast mitigation throughout the world! Over the years we have applied this system to many different buildings belonging too, Governments entities, Business's of varied types and Homes!




Safety film can also be used to stop the glass from being tagged with graffiti and etching, and it will deter theft! Almost all films will hold the majority of Glass together when it brakes, and it stops all the UV to reduce fading and Safety Films can come in clear or Sun Control to reduce heat and light for Lowered Energy bills and increased comfort! What is it worth to you to protect your loved ones and your belongings!
