The Best Time to Think about Window Film

Of course, we think the best time to think about window film is right now! There’s so much you can do with window film, and the list just keeps getting longer and longer. If you didn’t already know about all these reasons to think about window film (or if you have trouble getting to sleep), here are just a few of our favorites! Recently, we wrote about Ten Ways to Use the new Japandi Interior Style at Home. You might like it–since you can also incorporate Japandi style using window film.

Protects your eyes against glare

Just like you’d use window film on your car windows, you can use window film either at your office or at home. Your eyes deserve a little rest, don’t you think? Don’t you already have enough stress in your life? We know that we do! Glare can cause headaches and give you premature wrinkles. We even know some places where employees have to wear sunglasses indoors. (Don’t do that!)

Gives you privacy

You might love your neighbors, but do they really need to see every single thing your family does at home? No, they do not! They don’t need to see what you’re eating, what you’re wearing on a particular day, or what you just bought at the Black Friday sale downtown. For that, they have Instagram! For more details about window film and privacy, see 3M’s site.

Saves your skin

The UV protection on window films filters out the UV rays that can harm your skin and protect you against skin cancer. As if the other reasons here weren’t enough, protecting your skin and health is the most important. You may also want to use a hat with a big brim and sunscreen when you’re outdoors, since you probably won’t have window film then. The Skin Cancer Foundation has all kinds of information on how to prevent skin cancer.

Decorative window films give you an edge

We’ve written about decorative window films before. Check out 3M Fasara Decorative Window Film:Dotty for Dots. There are many kinds of decorative window films and 3M is adding new ones all the time. Imagine hanging a piece of glass covered by window film, used as a divider–either at home or at your business.

Makes your neighbors jealous

Now that you can see into your neighbor’s house, but they can’t see into yours, they might be just a little bit jealous! One thing you might want to share with them, though, is that you recently got window film! If they’re like the guy in the picture above, he might even be less grumpy! It won’t work on everyone, but it’s worth a try!
