Unexpected Benefits Of Office Window Film

Have you ever worked in an environment with little to no sunlight or view of the outside world? Not only does it feel isolating, but it’s also shown to decrease work productivity.

Office workers with exposure to sunlight report improved mental health and a higher work output – not to mention it’s nice to have exposure to the outside world while working.

With this in mind, some window features can be a nuisance in the workplace, such as glaring light and lack of privacy, but installing office window film can result in the perfect mix of letting sunlight in while limiting the disturbance these features can cause.

To ensure your workplace is brightened up in the best way, let’s look at the benefits of adding decorative window film to your office space. 

While it may not seem like a clear benefit for your office space, adding window film will help promote its security. If you store expensive products such as machinery or have anything alluring in your office space, it pays to keep it away from peering eyes.

Window film will prevent individuals on the outside from looking in, reducing the possibility of theft. Not only will you benefit from a lower threat of break-ins, but if your office location is hit by an aggressive storm, projectiles may have an impact on your windows. A protective window film will help prevent shards of glass flying across your workspace and damaging equipment or workers.

Have you ever worked or lived in a space that’s too hot, and no matter what, you can’t seem to control the temperature? Not only is it uncomfortable, but it can be incredibly frustrating. When it comes to office space, your staff members’ productivity depends on a range of factors, and a significant one is the subconscious feeling they get from the office space they work in.

If you have harsh sunlight coming directly into your office, it can be distracting and off-putting. Not only will heat and glare distract your staff members (and customers if this applies to your workplace) but it can also cause eye strain. If your team use a computer throughout the day under strained visibility, it can dramatically reduce their productivity and cause long-term issues to their sight.

By adding window film to your office, you’ll eliminate glare while still letting a suitable amount of natural light in and ensuring your staff are happy and productive – providing you with the best of both worlds.

Window film will provide your office space with privacy from the outside world while allowing you and your team to enjoy the feeling of sunlight pooling through. This makes frosted window film a fantastic option for spaces requiring extra privacy, such as bathrooms, meeting spaces, and offices that face onto the street.

While there is a range of style benefits to adding window film to your office space, an extra benefit is its potential to lower your energy bill during both the colder and warmer seasons. If it’s the middle of Summer and you have sunlight blaring into your office space, you’ll most likely have the air-con cranked to reduce the temperature. And the same applies to the colder months. Is there a cold chill in the office? You bet your bottom dollar that the office air con will be ramped up to keep workers productive – resulting in an increase in your energy bills throughout the year.

Window film can help control how much heat escapes your office, meaning you’ll rely less on climate control to warm up the space. It also helps with those hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable Summer days by keeping heat out during the warmer months, meaning the interior of your office stays cooler. 

While window film is often thought of as substance over style, it certainly adds an aesthetic nature to your office space. More subtle, darker tints can replicate the look of high-end window panes with the added benefit of simple application and removal, meaning you can change the look if and when you need to. From graphic and decorative film to clear safety window film - your options are endless.

One of the greatest benefits of window film is the low cost and time-efficiency compared to window tinting. In addition, window film is also less of a commitment than tinting, so if you change your mind, it’s simple to remove and update.
