Window Film Will Make You Worry Less About This

Do you ever worry about the damage that UV rays can do to your skin…while you’re inside? Lots of people do! UV rays can travel right through glass, so it can damage your eyes, and age your skin. Bottom Line: if you have window film, you don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Why Not Wear Sunglasses?

You could wear sunglasses indoors, but wouldn’t that be a little bit…silly? We have seen people wearing sunglasses indoors, but it’s so much better if your building wears the sunglasses (also known as window film). And, while sunglasses can protect your eyes, they can’t protect the rest of your body. Besides, if you have visitors, they may not have sunglasses handy! And it’s more welcoming to have window film than to hand out sunglasses. Unless of course those you have a dachsund. In that case, all bets are off.

What about Curtains?

Sure, you could have curtains, but you might like having a view. And with window film, you can block the UV rays and have a view at the same time. And curtains don’t look as modern as window film does. Window film blocks the heat, too. Which leads to your next question, probably: Can you save energy using window film? Yes, you can! Take a look at one of our recent articles: How to Use Window Film for Energy Efficiency. You know that the planet is warming and window film is one of your best defenses against that warming.

Window Film is Less Cluttered

Have you ever had long curtains that got tangled or just added to the visual clutter of a home? If you have young cats, curtains might be one of their favorite places to climb. The curtains can end up shredded and ugly. That’s what we’re talking about. With window film, there’s nothing to get tangled, they don’t collect dust, and there’s less to clean, too. Window film can actually be a good decorative element–not all window film is invisible. See our article about decorating with window film. There are dots, stripes, and many different patterns available. You can also mix and match your favorites if you can’t decide!

Some Sunlight is Good

Of course, some sunlight is good because sunlight helps you produce Vitamin D, which has been shown to be protective against Covid-19. But isn’t it better to be able to control the amount of sunlight you receive? For most people, a few minutes in the sun is enough. And in some areas, even a few minutes of sunlight can cause severe burns (helloooo Phoenix!). For more information, see this article about Vitamin D and your health from Harvard Medical School.
