If you are looking
for an inexpensive way to enhance the look of your home or office windows and
protect your interior from UV rays, then window film should be on your list.
Whether you are
confident in your ability to DIY, or if you would be looking for a professional
window film company to do the job, here are the five things you need to know
about window tint.
It all depends on the type of window film used. For example, clear safety
& security window films are optically clear and see-through. Designed to
protect your property against break-ins and vandalism, the security film
is
incredibly tough and works by holding the broken glass shards firmly together.
Frosted window film, on the other hand, is not transparent. Frosted window film
is
a very effective way of increasing the privacy, while adding a touch of
decoration and design to your windows or doors.
Window tinting such as the heat reflective solar window film
will help you stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
House window tinting is an efficient heat reduction method and can filter
anywhere from 40% to 71% of the solar and thermal energy coming through your
windows. By reducing the solar energy entering your home in the summer, you will
not need to run your cooling devices therefore will be able to reduce your
power bills.
Likewise, the window film will also insulate your windows in winter to help
keep your home at the temperature you want it. The insulating film will reduce
thermal energy either entering or leaving your windows.
Most window films are water-resistant. For example, bathrooms are full of
water and steam, but you do not have to worry about your window film getting
damaged by all that moisture. Window film is extremely durable and will not
deteriorate due to water, humidity, or mould.
However, occasionally, some windows may experience small pockets of moisture
trapped in the film during the installation process. Especially when it is
applied during colder weather or on windows that are not exposed to direct
sunlight. Professional window film installation is the only way to ensure your
window film is installed correctly.
What is wonderful about window films is they are incredibly easy to maintain
and can be removed if required. In fact, we get calls about this frequently about
our decorative window films
when the design is no longer applicable or simply out of date.
Many people wonder if they can remove the films themselves or need a
professional. Well, you can do it yourself by following these
instructions or
give us a call to discuss our services.
Window films come
in different shapes and sizes, both for commercial and residential applications.
Not all film is alike, so it
is important to consider what is your top priority or what you want most out of
window film and work from there.
