Window Film Saves You Money

 

Increased Energy Efficiency

All year, professional quality window film is at work helping to reduce your energy bills.  Select films reject as much as 81% of the sun’s total solar energy for more efficient cooling in the summer.  Professional quality window film also insulates glass, helping retain heat in the winter months.  So year round, you are sending less money to the power company! Plus, reducing your operating expenses increases your property value – an added benefit when selling or leasing. 

 

Improved Comfort & Workplace Productivity

Increased comfort begins as soon as Accidents can happen any time – but professional quality window film helps reduce the risk of flying glass related injuries by increasing the windows’ shatter resistance.  Although not specifically designed to be a safety film all standard 2 mil professional quality window film products are installed with a strong adhesive system that bonds the film to the glass.

Reduction in Harmful UV Rays

In recent years research has shown how the greenhouse effect is contributing to the increased amount of UV rays that enter the atmosphere. As expected, this effect poses a number of health risks. 

There are three types of UV rays: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-A rays are considered to be the primary cause of visible skin aging (which is why you will find a lot of beach bunnies with premature wrinkles), while UV-B rays are the primary cause of sunburn. In fact, prolonged exposure to these UV-B rays can lead to skin cancer. 

It is important to understand that even if you are in a building or vehicle, these harmful UV rays are still getting through. In other words, they are not being reflected off the windows. So if you are driving in your vehicle on a hot day with the air-conditioner on, do not think that just because the vehicle is keeping you cool, the UV rays are not affecting you. They are.

So how do you protect yourself from these UV rays? Tinting. Because tinted window film reflects a higher percentage of solar energy from the sun, less of these UV rays are able to get through. In fact, with the right tinting film it is possible to get rid of almost 100% of harmful and damaging UV rays.

Reducing the impact of harmful UV rays and the associated risks is a key benefit of having windows tinted and is one key reason why tinting has become more popular.

Reducing Fading

The sun’s ultraviolet light is a major contributor to fading and deterioration of draperies, carpets, furnishings, storefront displays and other interior items.  All window films reject almost 100% of this harmful and damaging ultraviolet light, protecting a building’s contents from premature damage and occupants from any ultraviolet health threat.

Greater Safety

Accidents can happen any time – but professional quality window film helps reduce the risk of flying glass related injuries by increasing the windows’ shatter resistance.  Although not specifically designed to be a safety film all standard 2 mil professional quality window film products are installed with a strong adhesive system that bonds the film to the glass.

For those commercial environments where safety and security are top priorities, professional quality safety films range in thickness from 4 to 14 Mils and are available in a variety of solar control and clear options.
