Sun-soaked summers, unpredictable humidity, and rising energy prices make Memphis a challenging climate for homeowners. Installing energy-efficient window film is one of the fastest, most affordable ways to gain year-round comfort and lower utility bills—especially when the project is properly scoped and costed through CountBricks.
• Blocks up to 99% of UV rays, preserving hardwood floors and furnishings
• Cuts cooling demand by as much as 30%, easing strain on HVAC systems

The Mid-South’s long cooling season means glass is a constant heat conduit. High humidity can also stress window seals, making the right film specification critical. CountBricks aggregates current Memphis weather data with manufacturer performance ratings, ensuring your estimate reflects true thermal loads rather than generic national averages.
1. Material selection: Standard solar-control film runs $6-$8 per square foot, while premium spectrally selective film can reach $12-$14.
2. Labor rates: Memphis residential glaziers average $55-$65 per hour. CountBricks syncs with real-time trade labor feeds so your quote never lags behind market changes.
3. Window accessibility: Second-story installs add lift equipment and OSHA safeguards. CountBricks flags those tasks automatically.
4. Prep and cleanup: Removing blinds, washing glass, and safe disposal factor into total labor hours.

• Average 1,800 cooling degree days per year: solar heat gain reduction pays immediate dividends.
• TVA energy rebates occasionally include window film—CountBricks monitors local incentives and flags them in your estimate.
• Many Shelby County HOAs approve clear, low-reflectance film options that maintain neighborhood aesthetics.
• Schedule installs for morning hours when glass is coolest to ensure optimal film adhesion.
• Allow 30 days before first cleaning; use ammonia-free products to avoid degrading the scratch-resistant coating.
• Combine film with insulated drapes on west-facing windows for an additional 10-15% energy boost.
Example: A 2,400-sq-ft Memphis home with 350 sq-ft of glass uses 17,000 kWh annually. Installing mid-grade solar film costs $3,150. Annual cooling savings average $470, delivering a 6.7-year simple payback—often less when rebates apply. CountBricks’ estimate report includes this ROI calculation automatically, giving homeowners data-backed confidence.
CountBricks recently supported a local contractor on a 1920s bungalow retrofit. Blueprint takeoffs identified 27 windows; privacy film was selected for street-facing panes, solar-control for the rear sunroom. Our AI optimized the order to minimize waste rolls, saving the installer $312 on materials and two labor hours. The homeowner now reports a 5-degree indoor temperature drop on peak afternoons.
