The Revolutionary Benefits of Window Film You Never Knew

There are lots of window film benefits that you probably never heard of, and here are just a few. Even though we work in the industry, we’re hearing about more benefits all the time! By the way, we install window film all over the San Francisco Bay Area, so be sure to call if you have questions!

Energy Savings

You can save energy by installing window film. If you have a single-pane window, installing window film makes that window act like a double-pane window. And if you have a double-pane window, it’ll behave like a triple-pane window. Can you imagine a triple-pane window!? Saving energy also saves you money: another of the window film benefits you can expect.

Protects Your Furniture and Heirlooms

We all know someone whose floor and sofas have been damaged by the sun beating down through their windows. People think that windows protect you from the sun, but it’s not true! Which is why museums often have window film to keep artwork from being damaged. But even if you don’t have heirlooms, your furniture and floor and rugs are important to you. Why not add some window film so you can get the benefits and protect your precious belongings?

Prevents Skin Cancer

The same UV rays that cause skin cancer can be blocked by window film. That’s like having a giant pair of sunglasses on your home! And UV rays can also cause your skin to age prematurely. How many more window film benefits could there possibly be? With skin cancer rates increasing, having window film just makes sense. After all, skin cancer is a cancer that can largely be prevented. The Skin Cancer Foundation even has a page dedicated to window film: Why Use Window Film?, in which they outline many uses of window film, and the window film benefits you may enjoy.

Reduces Glare

Do you host parties where you watch sports shows on t.v.? Do you work from home? Your screens can get a lot of glare, and having window film can help with that. So you can still have your curtains open and receive the natural light from the sun, but not the glare. And you don’t have to wear sunglasses indoors!

Has Many Decorative Uses

In case you didn’t know, window film comes in many variations. So you don’t have to use the “vanilla” variety–you can also use stripes, dots, or patterns. Here are some of our previous articles about the different types of window film:

How Window Film Can Actually Help Simplify Your Life

You might not have considered how window film can simplify your life, but it seriously can! Here are a few of the ways.

Eliminate Drapes

If you’re tired of cleaning your drapes, have no fear! Once you have window film, you may want to get rid of the drapes or other window coverings. Also, if you’ve been laundering your drapes, that’s another thing you can take off your to-do list. And when the drapes are gone, away goes the dust that collects on the drapes, too! For people with allergies, that can be a game-changer!

A Sleek Look

Do you have clutter all over your home? Window film looks clean, sleek, and modern. You can avoid a cluttered look with one simple decision: installing window film. For other ideas on avoiding clutter, see the excellent Wikipedia How to Remove Clutter From Your Home.

Sunscreen for Your Home

You can feel safer in your own home because window film protects your family’s skin and eyes. Some types of window film help hold your windows together, too, which is helpful during storms or in case of break-ins. We help both residential and commercial property owners with window film.

More Privacy

Perhaps you’ve thought about installing awnings or privacy walls to protect your family or employees from prying eyes. With window film, you can get more privacy without any of that silliness. You might like our recent article Ten Day Challenge: More Privacy in San Francisco.
