Window films can do a lot of different things.
The most common application for window film is heat reduction and light reduction.
Particles in the window film reflect or repeal the sun’s heat and light and limit the amount passing through the window.
This does two things: save and protect.
SAVE
Did you know that window tinting films pay for themselves faster than just about any other building materials or product that you can put on a house or a commercial building?
Window films can reduce up to 2/3 of the amount of energy it takes to run an air conditioning system. That can translate to a big savings on the energy bill.
Window films prevent a large amount of heat from ever entering a space, so the air conditioners don’t have to work nearly as hard. This cuts down on cooling costs, but it also costs down on repair and maintenance costs because the air conditioning units aren’t being run nearly as often. This prolongs the life of the air conditioning units, keeping the space cooler, at a fraction of the cost.
PROTECT
In addition to saving money, window films help protect the interior of a home or building. The ultraviolet rays in the sun cause fading and sun damage to all kinds of different materials, from hardwood floors to couches and sofas and other interior furnishings. You might be surprised how little time it takes for the sun to cause damage.
If you have expensive window shades or shutters, and you want them to last for a long time, you should probably consider window tinting film in addition to the window treatments. For people that prefer window treatments over window film because they don’t want to darken their windows, there are window films that we offer that are undetectable to the human eye. You get all of the benefits of the window tinting film without noticing window film is installed.
In addition to protecting furniture and interiors, window tinting film helps protect people, and even animals too. If you or your family spend a particularly large amount of time in a room that gets a lot of sunlight, you could be exposing yourself to unwanted ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays can contribute to and cause cancer in humans, so protecting your sun exposed rooms in your house or business is important.
