Between reducing heat gain and slowing the effects of UV on your furnishings, there are many reasons to invest in window film. Read up on these 10 facts about window film to learn more about the potential benefits for you and your home!
1. Window film can decrease glare.
With solar window film, light is reduced to varying degrees (depending on the window film you choose), also reducing glare in your home or office. Because film allows for good light transmission, you will still see the reflection in your tv. It reduces glare (the intensity), but you still get light.
2. Security window film can provide protection for your home and family.
We can’t always stop accidents from happening, but we can prepare for the unexpected. For example, when severe weather strikes or the neighbour’s lawnmower throws a rock at your window, security window film can hold the glass together if broken, avoiding potentially serious injury and damage to your possessions. In the event of a break-in, it may also deter potential burglars from entering your home.
3. Window film can make your home more comfortable and can increase privacy.
Sometimes, your home needs to be just a bit more private. Privacy window film is an excellent option to increase your home’s privacy while still letting light in, making your house feel more comfortable. Our window film options also come with a manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring your window film will last.
4. Window film reduces UV rays that penetrate your home windows.
Did you know that harmful UV rays from the sun can pass through windows, exposing you even when you are indoors? With solar control window film, 99% of UV rays are rejected, reducing the chances of exposure to UV light.
5. Window film is easily customizable.
Give your windows a sleek look with your choice of custom film for interior glass walls. Whether you want something decorative or transparent, custom window film can help give your office a look of its own.
6. Solar window film can reduce eye strain.
Did you know that untreated windows only protect your eyes from 25 percent of UV rays? Solar window film helps minimize UV light in your home and/or office, which can lead to reduced eye fatigue. This can allow you to relax and take a break, especially on those screentime-heavy days.
7. It can protect your furnishings.
Home furnishings aren’t cheap, so it can be disappointing and expensive when they fade through repeated sun exposure. With solar control film, you can help slow the process of UV damage, keeping your furnishings looking newer for longer.
8. Large or small, high or low, window film can suit a variety of window shapes and sizes.
Window film is versatile and can be installed on almost any size window. Regardless of the location of your windows, most windows are excellent candidates for solar & security film solutions. Modern films also come in a vast collection of colours, patterns, and styles, beautifying your home and allowing for endless new décor possibilities.
9. Window film can help cut home cooling costs.
Reduce the summer heat in your home with window film! Solar window film can reduce cooling costs in homes and businesses by decreasing the amount of heat gained through the transmission of sunlight. Say hello to a more comfortable living or working environment!
10. Window film can help you reduce your carbon footprint.
Excessive heating and cooling don’t just drive-up energy costs—they also increase your home’s carbon footprint and can create excess pollution. By installing solar window film to help regulate your home’s temperature, you can create a more comfortable environment that can lead to less time adjusting the thermostat. It’s just one more way to “go green” in an increasingly environmentally conscious world.
