Large groupings of windows are popular in the design of new buildings, but the additional daylight can prove to be a double-edged sword when the sun shines.
Abundant daylight is generally a positive for the health of the occupants of a building and can improve productivity, but the light can also result in a distracting level of glare and a buildup of heat that can be expensive to manage.
Retrofitting windows that are already in place with window film can help you achieve your energy, aesthetic and productivity goals at a lower cost than replacing windows.
Research three ways that the installation of window film can benefit your commercial building.
Minimize Glare and Cut Bills
There are window film options that can block different parts of the light that enters a room to minimize glare, heat entering a room and dangerous UV rays.
Branding and Aesthetic Benefits
Window film options are now available with decorative patterns and a popular choice for the owners of commercial buildings.
Occupant Security and Safety
There are no window film options that make it impossible to break a window, but the film can hold broken glass fragments in place. This helps to minimize the chance that an occupant will be injured by shattered glass or debris entering a room.
