Five Amazing Ways Window Film Can Make You Healthier

Yes, window film can lower your heating and cooling bills, but did you realize all the many ways that window film can make you healthier? Here are just five!

Better Skin

Everyone realizes that tanning is not healthy, but did you realize that having window film on your windows is like putting on sunscreen when you’re at the beach? Ultraviolet rays travel through ordinary glass and can damage your skin, causing premature aging. UV light damages the DNA of cells, as explained in this Scientific American article: How does ultraviolet light kill cells?

Protects Against Cancer

The link between UV rays and skin cancer is widely known. That’s why the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using window film. People feel that they’re safe when they’re inside, but UV rays can still come right through your windows and get you!

Easier to See without Glare

Have you ever been to someone’s house or business where people have to wear sunglasses indoors? We have! It’s a lot more common than you might think.

Reduces Heat

Global warming means more unstable weather at all times of the year. While we’d love to say window film cures global warming, we can’t. But window film can protect you against uneven heat by providing a sort of insulation. For instance, a single-pane window with window film becomes like a double-pane window. And a double-pane window becomes a triple-pane window! And if you’re interested in How to Stay Warm in the Winter and Cool in the Summer, window film can help.

Protects Against Breakage

One benefit many people don’t realize is that during storms, window film can hold glass together. If a window does break, window film holds the pieces together so shards of glass don’t hit your family or guests. For someone like a restaurant owner, protecting your guests could be priceless.
