Brand overview
CoolVu is a window film, tinting, and architectural surfaces franchise serving both residential and commercial clients. Founded by Mike Herrera and Jeff Franson, who brought three decades of window industry and franchise development experience to build a best-in-class opportunity, the brand launched in 2022. Leveraging an existing distribution network through FutureVu Brands and Window Film Depot, CoolVu grew to over 100 franchisees in less than four years. Owners operate a mobile, work-from-home business, driving CoolVu-branded trucks to job sites to improve the aesthetics, energy efficiency, privacy, and security of their customers' spaces. The powerful network is connected to industry organizations like the International Franchise Association and the International Window Film Association.
