With all the vacation plans spinning in your heads right now, maybe window film is the last thing on your mind this summer. But seriously, did you know that your summer could be even better? Summer is already a wonderful time to enjoy the beach, swimming, and family picnics. If you’re the kind of person who likes to improve things, listen up! Your life and your summer are about to get better. And some new window film for your home or office can help!
Summer heat can ruin your day
It’s easy to be overheated or even to get sunstroke on those hot summer days. Mayo Clinic has some ideas on how to prevent heatstroke. A few of those ideas include:
- Wearing loose, light clothing,
- Never leaving anyone (especially pets and kids) in a parked car,
- Using sunscreen, and
- Taking it easy during the hottest part of the day.
What the Mayo Clinic doesn’t mention is that window film can help keep your house cool. Not only that, but if you’ve given up using parts of your home because of heat or glare, you can take back your own home. If you or your kids are outside in the sun, you might want to zip inside the house to cool off. Window film helps you do that.
Your house needs sunglasses just like you do
We’ve mentioned the idea of sunglasses for your house before. When you go to the beach, you never forget to bring along sunglasses for yourself and your family, do you? They go right into the bag along with towels and sunscreen. So why would you not also protect your precious belongings, such as your furniture, rugs, and–most importantly–your family’s skin and eyes. UVA rays can come right through windows, and even be stronger in some cases. Check out what the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends to protect your skin (hint: it’s window film!). And yes, it’s the same window film that goes on your car.
Don’t forget household maintenance in the summer
You keep up with all the maintenance chores for your home. For example, when your roof leaks, you get it repaired. If your floor suddenly develops a hole, you get that fixed. And that old knob-and-tube wiring from 1932? You get it replaced with copper. But what about your windows? Don’t they deserve good treatment, too? Window film lets you see outside on those perfect summer days. You still get a great view without bulky curtains or shades.
