About the Manufacturer

Solutia Performance Films is the top of “window films” industries

All brands of our window films are American made. Solutia acquired CPFilms, in Martinsville, Virginia 2005. The manufacturer, research and support functions have independent dealers everywhere, like myself, excited for the future of window business. My customers are connected to this manufacturer, for every square inch of product I install as a Platinum “Manufacturer Select” Dealer for the Northeastern regions of Florida.
