This is What Happens When Property Managers Use Window Film

For each month of 2021, we’re offering special discounts on different window films. For August, our discount is for property managers. Please mention that you saw this article so you can get the discount! Here’s our post about Window Works’ Ten Year Anniversary!

Benefits for property managers

There are so many benefits from using window film that we’d be hard pressed to list them all. Heat reduction, less glare, and a big reduction in UV rays are at the top of the list. Then there’s privacy–a big deal in a city like San Francisco where buildings are often so close together. But the bottom line? When your tenants are happy, they’ll stay longer, and you’ll be happier, too. Also, your phone will stop ringing for all the wrong reasons!

Avoid theft

In a crowded urban environment like San Francisco there are many crimes of opportunity. But! You can remove the opportunity if potential thieves don’t know there’s something to steal. For instance, use window film to cover foyer windows in your buildings. It’s an easy way to deter theft! And by the way, you can leave a gap so light can enter at the tops of your windows…because fog.

Do away with graffiti

Graffiti on mailboxes, in foyers, and on elevators can ruin your day. Not only is it physically ugly, but it’s jarring to look at. If you cover your elevator banks or mailboxes with window film, you can easy avoid graffiti. We can come in, create a template, and cover things with film. If something regularly gets covered with graffiti, we can replace those objects for you. By the way, you might like this article about graffiti: Anti-Graffiti Film Protects Your Investments.

Lower energy costs

Not only will your tenants be happier, but your energy bills will be lower, too. Since window film reduces heat, your A/C costs will be less. That means a lower PG&E bill. Studies have shown that window film can lower energy costs by as much as 30%. And you know that energy costs are not going down any time soon! Also if you were thinking of adding double- or triple-pane windows, adding window film can lower that cost as well. By the way, you might like Ways to Make a Home More Energy Efficient. The same ideas apply to commercial as well as residential buildings.

More comfortable, happier tenants

Nobody can reliably measure happiness, but you just know that people are happier when they’re not dealing with glare, UV rays, and unbearable heat. And with tenants, if you don’t hear your phone ringing, that means they’re happy, right?. It’s like window film–when it’s working, you don’t even know it’s there.

Better security

Although we hate seeing news stories about break-ins, they do happen. When glass breaks, it shatters. But when there’s window film on those windows, the glass stays together and keeps everyone safer. This makes not only tenants, but property managers feel more safe and secure.
