I am going to venture a guess and say window film is probably not a common topic most people know a lot about, but it can be a solution to so many different problems! From reducing heat to reducing glare, to increasing privacy and adding a decorative design, window film could be your saving grace! Solar Art has come up with ten different reasons you might consider using window film:
There is no doubt that air conditioning is not cheap, but might be a necessity depending on where you are located and how hot it gets. Did you know that all window film blocks 99% of UVA and UVB rays and can reduce up to 63% of the heat entering your home or commercial building? I bet you didn't.
Window film can help keep a room cooler without even needing to touch the air conditioner, which ultimately is going to result in a lower electricity bill. I know what you're thinking, what about the look of the space? The look doesn't have to change! There are window films on the market that contain no metal or dye, which means the look of your space won't change and you get the same UV protection!
How many attractive construction zones have you come across in your life? I can answer that for you...ZERO! Construction zones are ugly. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to temporarily hide an area that is under construction, window film is an easy and affordable solution. You can apply a frosted window film or a blackout window film that will completely block outsiders from being able to see in and will keep a clean look.
Or, you can take the opportunity to advertise what's coming after the construction, as the customer above did. They decided to have custom graphics installed to show people walking by what's to come and advertise their new business before it's even over! Once the construction is over, you can call up a professional company like Solar Art to come and easily remove it.
When it comes to custom design, there are many routes you can go to personalize both a home and an office. At Solar Art, we can produce custom graphics that can be installed to both windows and walls and can provide a total face life to any room. Whether you are looking for a wall mural of your favorite travel destination for your office, or you are looking for a decorative pattern for your conference room, window film can help add your own personal touch.
The afternoon sun presents as a real pain in the neck for a lot of people in both home and office settings. It gets so strong and the glare is so bad, it can prevent you or employees from seeing computer screens. This is not only uncomfortable, but it can also decrease productivity.
If you are at home, afternoon glare can reflect off of TV screens making your time for relaxing not so relaxing. If you are struggling with glare from the sun in your home or office, there are window films on the market that can block up to 94% of glare from entering your space!
Replacing glass is expensive. If your windows are in a high trafficked area and are repeatedly getting tagged or scratched, anti graffiti film is a great option where you don't have to constantly replace the damaged glass! Anti graffiti film is a protective layer of window film that is installed directly onto glass or Stainless Steel surfaces. If your space does get vandalized, the anti graffiti film will endure the damage, not your glass or surface.
Replacing anti graffiti film is a cost-efficient way to get rid of the etching without having to replace the surface itself. If your space does get vandalized all you have to do is call up a professional company like Solar Art to remove and replace the damaged anti graffiti film.
Let's be honest, if you don't need to have blinds, you probably aren't going to want blinds. We get it. Blinds can be unattractive, a hassle to maintain, can block your view, and can make a room very dark. Certain solar films contain no metal or dyes and won't change the aesthetics of your home whatsoever.
They are still heat blocking window films that will provide the same amount of heat and UV protection as other darker window films. This will give you the ability to appreciate your view in comfort!
If you are looking to increase privacy, you can have a frosted window film or a reflective window film installed. Both are great options that will significantly increase privacy and will look great in both residential and commercial settings.
If you are a business owner, you are probably no stranger to marketing and getting your brand out there. Custom graphics are an easy and simple way to do just that! Custom graphics can be installed on a variety of different surfaces, including glass, walls, cement, carpet, and more!
You can install your company logo and store hours to the front door, or you can install your company mission statement on the wall for all to see. The options are endless!
Safety is a top priority in both homes and offices. Homeowners and business owners often have some sort of security system installed to help keep their space safe and keep intruders out. Window security film is an affordable and simple way to add to your already existing security system to help give you peace of mind 24/7. Security window film helps strengthen glass by 2-3 times and will prolong forced entry time, allowing more time for help to arrive!
Believe it or not, running into glass is very common. Especially today where modern offices are comprised of floor-length glass walls. If people aren't paying attention or are looking down at their phones, it is really easy to run right into the glass.
If you want to increase safety but don't want to completely change the look of your office, you can install a subtle distraction as this customer did. They had the name of the conference room and two simple lines installed. This kept a clean and modern look, while also creating a distraction.
You can also have a decorative window film installed to create a distraction. Business owners will often have dots or squares installed to grab people's attention.
So there you have it! Window film has a variety of different purposes like increasing security, protecting against vandalism, reducing heat, reducing glare, and adding a custom design.
