If you are looking for a great read about how window film improves facility operations, we recommend an article in FacilitiesNet by Michael Mancini.
For a quick synopsis, here are 3 ways in which window film makes a facility better:
- Lowers Energy Costs – Most facilities have tremendous energy costs from the operational load and stress on the HVAC system. A window film installation can be an efficient way to save on energy usage and costs. Window film is made for performance, keeping cool air inside during summer and preventing heat loss during the winter. This feature of window film has tangible benefits for the facility manager as well as the occupants. It keeps the utility costs down and keeps the building comfortable, a win-win.
- Better Work Environment for Employees – A facility that utilizes window film is one that cares about the comfort and productivity of its occupants. While, window film lets in natural daylight, it blocks 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. Also, filmed windows keep out up to 82% of the heat from the sun. Research has found that UV rays are a leading cause of skin cancer as well as uncomfortable glare which disrupts the workflow. Therefore, window film is an investment in the productivity and comfort of the employees
- Safety and Security Measure – Windows and doors are the most vulnerable points in a building at risk for break-ins and vandalism. Customized safety window film reinforces the window with a durable layer of protection, making it harder for criminals to gain a point of entry. Moreover, safety window film acts like a shield in the case of a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or an extreme weather event. The safety window film minimizes damage to the facility, protects the occupants, and guarantees security for fragile glass.
