Summer is on the way and the kids will be getting out of school before you know it. For whatever reason, Spring always seems like a great time to take on a home improvement project. After reading an article in the Huffington Post by Sam Cohen titled “Build Superior Homes By Installing Window Films — Valid Reasons To Add Them To Your Windows“, I wanted to summarize five reasons he lists in the article that you might consider window film as a great choice for your next home improvement project.
Five Benefits of Installing Window Film on Your Home
- Creates a Comfortable Environment: After window films are installed in your home, they create a comfortable environment by reducing the heat coming through the glass and making your place a lot cooler. They also block irritating glare that can make some rooms uncomfortable at certain times of the day.
- Protects from UV rays: Window films can block 99% of the ultraviolet rays of the sun that enters your home. This is important because UV is a major contributor to fading. So, as the window film blocks the UV rays, it also protects upholstery, furnishings, tapestries, paintings from discoloration and fading.
- Improves aesthetics: Window tinting films can be added to your home to give a finished and proper look while also helping you cut down the excessive glare of the sun. You can also get the decorative window films which you can add to bring the look of etched glass at a reasonable price.
- Enhances Security and Safety: Window films also help hold the glass together in the event of breaking of a window. Whether due to an attempted break-in, storm or an accident, the window film can act as a barrier to entry and protection from injury from glass shards
- Saves Energy: Window film not can improve the appearance of your home, it can also plays a huge role in saving on energy costs. Depending on what type of film you choose, you can save significantly on your energy costs.
