Shop Owner Makes Wise Decision to Install Window Film and Reaps the Benefits
Compare the view looking out of this shop’s windows. The three windows on the left have window film installed and the view is crisp and clear. The window on the right does not yet have window film and the sunsh
ine coming in is creating glare and causing eye strain. Trying to view a computer screen is very difficult in these conditions. These west-facing untreated windows allow solar heat to increase the temperature in the building, which increases the amount of air conditioning needed during warmer months, which in turn forces the owner to spend more money on utility bills. Thankfully, this owner made a wise decision by having window film installed and will now have a more comfortable environment for employees and customers. He will also experience energy savings and unneeded wear and tear on his HVAC system.
This is the view of the same shop from the outside looking in. Notice the window on the far left does not have the window film installed yet. You can see into the shop without any trouble. The three windows on the right have window film applied. This particular film has a bit of reflectivity so passersby do not see in as easily. This reflectivity is also what helps keep some of the solar heat from entering through the windows.
An additional benef
it of having film protection on your windows is that these advanced technology films block out up to 99% of the UV rays that damage your exposed skin. This damage happens even when you are indoors if your windows are untreated.
