Yes, we realize that many of the ideas here are very similar, if not identical, to the ten best uses of window film for your home. You might want to read that post, too. However, there are some different reasons to use window film for your business, which we’ve outlined here.
Energy efficiency
Window film can help reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, resulting in lower energy bills for your business. When the weather turns hot in the summer, window film can block as much as 66% of the sun’s heat. And sometimes heat can make you feel very, very tired. In fact, some people might need a nap–not always a good idea when you’re at work unless you have a nap room!
UV protection
Window film can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your business’s interior from fading and damage. If you have a retail business, your inventory could be harmed by fading. For instance, clothing can be harmed by the sun’s damaging rays. How can you sell clothing that’s damaged or faded?
Branding and advertising
Window film can be used to display your business’s logo or other branding elements, increasing visibility and promoting your brand. Logos can be reproduced in different sizes and on different surfaces as well. If you want your business to be remembered, why not have your logo displayed?
Privacy
Window film can be used to create a frosted or opaque effect on windows, increasing privacy in conference rooms and other areas. If you have a dentist’s office, for example, you don’t really want to see other patients getting their teeth cleaned. Do you?
Safety and security
Some window films can help hold broken glass together in the event of an accident, providing an added layer of security for your business. This is especially useful in restaurants where broken shards could be a huge liability. Actually, with climate change, the risk of broken glass has become greater.
