You’ve heard of Mari Kondo and her book about decluttering, and you’ve heard of window film (haven’t you?), but have you ever thought that window film could spark joy? Stick around for a few minutes and you’ll see that it can!

Helps give you a clutter-free life

Since we’re mentioning Mari Kondo, have you considered that having a more streamlined interior will help reduce clutter? No more curtains gathering dust, and no kittens climbing up your drapes! Just a sleek look to your business or home.

Reduces UV light

What’s the big deal about UV light? It can ruin your furniture, clothing, floors, and hurt your eyes, for one thing. And if you’re inside you probably don’t think about putting on sun screen, but you can get lots of UV light right inside your home where you feel safe! Want to learn more about UV light?

Equals less Glare

Nobody likes glare, whether you’re trying to do your job or relax at home. Do you know anyone who has to wear sunglasses indoors? You shouldn’t have to with window film.

Gives you more Privacy

Whether you need some privacy because your kids love to come into the bathroom or you have nosy neighbors looking into your place, alone time is #1. With window film, your kids and your neighbors will have to find some other way of entertaining themselves!

Elevates your interior design inspiration

Not all types of window film are plain–some can add to the design of your home or business. We’ve talked about the beauty of Fasara window film before. There are now many different kinds of gorgeous window film to add drama and elegance to your place!

Makes you feel safe

Some films hold your glass together if it’s broken. This is especially important in places with extreme weather. Schools also tend to benefit from safety film.

Saves you money

Window film costs less than replacing your windows, and while the results won’t be quite as dramatic, you’ll still see your heating and cooling bills go down. Single-pane windows act more like double-pane ones, and double-pane windows act like triple-pane windows. And if you have triple-pane windows already? Our hats are off to you!

Reduces heat

Certain rooms in your home or business can become much too hot in the summer (or even the winter around San Francisco!). Window film moderates the temperatures so you can use all your floor space!

Defends your family’s health

Less glare and UV rays mean that your skin doesn’t suffer! Not only your skin, but your eyes can be harmed by UV rays. For a modest price, you can protect your family’s health.

Increases energy efficiency

With global warming, we have to be careful about what energy we use. With window film, you’ll not only save money, but your home or business will be more energy efficient.

Still Aren’t Sure?

Give us a call! We’re happy to work with you and give you reason #11 to work with us! We’re all over the San Francisco Bay Area, from the South Bay to Marin to the East Bay. Here’s our customer care number for your convenience: 415.650.5200.

A common misconception, even in a sophisticated city like San Francisco, is that window film must be darker to do its job. But lighter or paler window films still provide protection. Light window films do the same job as darker ones. For example, you don’t want dark or mirror film in a beach home or home with view of the mountains. If you want an obscure glass, and you don’t want to go dense, go with 3M Matte Crystal or Sabrina, a 3M Fasara glass finish. Bring in the light and have minimal appearance. You won’t even know that it’s there. Check out the gradations in the different 3M window films above (we’re particularly fond of Sabrina).

Indoor Sun Protection

Did you know that you need protection from the sun inside your home? If you didn’t know this, you’re not alone. Here’s a great video that you might enjoy, from the International Window Film Association:

As you can see, you do need protection from UVA/UVB inside your home. Also, did we mention that the darkness of the window film doesn’t really matter: light window film will protect you as much as the darker stuff does. People have the misconception that window film has to be dark, but don’t fall for this piece of fake news!

You Moved to San Francisco for the Views!

Amiright? If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, one big reason you’re here is the views! Whether you see cable cars, the bay, or the Golden Gate Bridge, that’s a view you don’t want to block! So think about having a light window film, not only because it’s less cluttered, but also so you can have an unhampered view of our beautiful city. If you have an ugly view, window film can help with that, too, but that’s a topic for another day.
