Window Film: Seven Ways it Can Improve Your Life

You may have heard of some of the benefits of window film for your car, but there are so many other ways it can improve your life. Here are just a few benefits of window film:

Window film protects your skin

Ultraviolet rays can penetrate glass and find you. But window film reduces the sun’s short-wave, UVB rays by nearly 100%, protecting you from aging and skin cancer. Read more from the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Reduces glare

When you drive at dusk, in particular, you’ll see a lot of glare. And glare can keep you from seeing the road and cause eyestrain. AAA has some good tips on driving at night and managing glare. http://dev.seniordriving.aaa.com/understanding-mind-body-changes/vision/driving-night-managing-glar

Keeps you cool

3M’s Prestige Series window films use non-metallized, multi-layer optical film and nano-technology to reject up to 97% of the sun’s infrared light and reject up to 60% of the heat coming through your windows. The non-metallized film allows you to get signals from your cell phone.

Lessens fading of your furnishings

UV rays enter your windows and damage your furniture, rugs, and flooring. You could think of window film as insurance for your valuable furnishings.

Protects quick entry through window panes and glass doors

Safety film holds the glass together and makes glass more difficult to break. Sometimes that extra few seconds is all it takes to keep someone from breaking into your home or business.

Lowers cooling and heating costs

Window film keeps your home, office, or car more even in temperature. When you have window film installed, air conditioning costs go down by about 30%. And with the price of heating and cooling going up every year, we really enjoy that savings.

Provides privacy

Decorative window films easily provide privacy for conference rooms, offices, and do not sacrifice natural light. Not only that, but there are many beautiful choices that add to the aesthetic appeal of your home or office.
