Learn the Best Ways to Use Window Film

Learn the Best Ways to Use Window Film

What are some of the best ways to use window film you may be asking yourself? This question might have been keeping you awake. Just as you’re drifting off to sleep–oh no!–there it is! That question again! Fear not because you’ll learn some of the best ways to use window film right here right now.

Window film is versatile

There are many ways to use window film, and our favorite supplier, 3M, is always coming up with new designs and uses for it. For example, check out their window film simulator on the link above. You can see how different varieties of Prestige window film looks.

It’s great for privacy

Seems like our cities are getting more and more crowded, and we need to have ways to control what other people can see. You might have missed our blog post answering the question of whether window film is good for privacy. Yes, it is! Let those nosy neighbors stick their noses in someone else’s business is our basic philosophy.

Energy efficiency

Everyone wants to be more energy efficient, and you can save on your energy bills by using window film. Not only will your energy bill be less, but your comfort will be greater, too. You’ll be much cooler in the summer, which will make you and everyone around you much less cranky.

UV Protection

We’ve talked about the harmful rays that can go right through glass before. And those UV rays can also cause skin cancer. Having window film can really help. Your furnishings, like your rugs and beautiful furniture can also benefit because UV rays can cause fading. If you pull back the rugs in some people’s homes, you can see that the flooring is a different color where the sun hits it.

Security

If you’re a merchant with a storefront, window film can help prevent shattering. Recently here in San Francisco, high winds caused some glass to break downtown. Window film keeps the shards together so the chances of someone being injured are much less.

Many films are decorative

There are so many beautiful window films which can add to your decor. There are different patterns and designs, and we can help you figure out which would go well with your interior.

Control the glare

We’ve said this a million times: you shouldn’t have to wear sunglasses indoors! Get some window film, especially on those windows that get lots of sun. The best thing is you won’t even know it’s there! And if you’re working from home like so many people are, you don’t want glare destroying your work environment. Glare on your tv or laptop are no fun at all.
