Window film is an innovative product, a tremendous resource if you are looking to save money on energy bills for a home or commercial space. Window film has evolved significantly in recent years, no longer constrained to basic automotive function, it has technologically advanced in performance and appearance. You can expect high levels of performance from window film that is barely detectable on the glass. These films can be retrofitted to nearly any existing window, a more cost-effective approach to optimizing window performance than merely replacing windows.
A recent article in Builder Online highlighted the efficiency of window film by stating: “Energy Commission creates a “loading order” that ranks products on energy efficiency by cost effectiveness. Window film is near the top of those products, beating even blown in ceiling insulation.” Check out the entire article by clicking HERE
Here are 5 reasons why window film is the optimal choice to improve any home or commercial space:
- Cut Cooling Costs by Up To 50%
The EPA Energy Star Buildings Manual in the United States has found that approximately half of residential utility bills is caused by loss or gain of heat through untreated windows. This supports the fact that window films can significantly improve energy efficiency in a home or commercial space. Superior function meets innovative design with films that are thin and nearly invisible. Window film can be retrofitted to existing windows and help you save up to 50% on cooling costs. - Minimize Hot Spots and Block Irritating Glare
Window film made with ultra-clear, distortion-free materials are the solution for comfort and temperature control in your home. You no longer have to manually open blinds, shades, or draperies to regulate the sunlight. Window film cuts glare by up to 87% making watching TV or working on the computer, a comfortable experience in an abundance of sunlight. - Lessen Effects of Damaging UV Exposure
Window film can extend the life span of your valuable fabrics, furnishings, and artwork by protecting it from the ravages of damaging UV rays. Untreated windows pose a risk of fading to interior fixtures due to prolonged sunlight exposure. The solution is a professional installation of window film that will block up to 99.9% of UVA and UVB rays. This will protect the occupants of the building while preserving the valuable objects inside of it. - Superior Temperature Control Across a Space
Window films are the solution for eliminating hot and cold spots within a space. The film reduces heat gain coming through the glass in hot areas. The result is more temperature control across the space, a reduction in the HVAC load, and savings on the energy bill. - Cost-Effective Window Solution
Window replacement is a necessary step for damaged or deteriorating windows. However, if your goal is to improve energy efficiency on existing windows in good condition- your most affordable option is window film. Window film can be professionally installed at one-tenth of the cost of replacement windows, a worthwhile investment in superior window performance.
