Who doesn’t enjoy having sunshine stream into their home or workspace? Natural light is uplifting and aesthetically pleasing, which is one reason window film is often a better option than installing shades, blinds or exterior shutters.
Here’s a closer look at the many advantages of window film installation for your home.
When people are installing new windows (or making upgrades to existing ones), there are a few common questions that arise. One of the most common questions that people ask is with regard to the film that is in place on their windows. Sometimes, people notice that their window film actually turns purple. Some people want to know if this is a problem while others are confused by how the color change process actually happens. When window film does start to change color, there are a few important points to keep in mind.
Buying a home is the single most expensive purchase most people will ever make in their lives. Because it’s already such a big investment, protecting it — or finding ways to improve upon — is a great idea. If you’re like many people, you didn’t think about the other costs involved in owning a home until you were faced with them. Lawn care, regular maintenance and replacing appliances are just a few of the additional costs of homeownership that are especially evident before you move it.
Window film is quickly becoming a popular, creative alternative to frosted windows, blinds, curtains, and netting in today’s homes. The reasons? Decorative options are abundant, residential window film can frequently be easily removed and replaced, it can save energy and can be custom cut for almost any glass or window surface.
Most of us love the sun, and what better feeling than to have its light and warmth streaming into our homes? But it’s possible to have too much of a good thing. In summer, or even through the winter in some climate zones, windows which face directly towards the sun can make a home unbearably hot.
Trying to keep your house cool by turning up the air-conditioning is expensive and will do nothing to protect your furniture and flooring from the damaging rays of the sun. Of course, you could always close the shutters, but who really wants to sit in the dark on a bright sunny day?
Outdoor sun protection with an arsenal of broad-spectrum sunscreen, UV protective sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed sun hat is essential to protect you and your family from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays (UVR). While we understand that safety precautions are important for outdoor sun exposure, what about indoor protection? You may not realize it, but the sunshine streaming through your home’s windows can be just as damaging as direct outdoor exposure.
Ultraviolet radiation is sneaky, it can bounce off surfaces and penetrate glass to find you. Unprotected UVR exposure indoors will contribute to daily exposure accumulation, leaving you and your family vulnerable to skin damage, photoaging, eye damage, and skin cancer. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends UV-blocking window film for solar reflection as a cost-effective solution to protect your family and your home from indoor ultraviolet exposure.
If you’re a money-conscious home or building owner, window tinting can be an effective means of improving the energy efficiency of a home and protecting its contents from damage and fade caused by the sun. However, because the purpose of window film is to prevent the rays of the sun from getting into your house, homeowners with green thumbs have to wonder: “Will this kill my houseplants?”
Whether your indoor garden is large or small, the risk of killing your plants may be a dealbreaker in deciding whether or not to have a residential window film installation done. Find out now what effect window film has on indoor plants before having window film installed in your Utah home.
