It’s an undeniable truth that windows significantly influence the aesthetics and functionality of our homes or offices. However, these versatile building components can also present certain challenges such as heat gain, glare, fading of interior furnishings, and vulnerability to break-ins. Enter window film: an unsung hero in the world of window improvements. But how can you tell when it’s time to invest in window film? Here are five signs you need window film:
Are certain rooms in your house or office unbearably hot during summer days? Do you find yourself squinting due to intense sunlight even inside your living room? If so, it may be time to consider window film. These thin layers, applied directly to your windows, can block a significant percentage of the sun’s heat and glare, making your space more comfortable. Solar control window films reduce heat gain by reflecting and absorbing the sun’s energy, while also minimizing the blinding effect of glare.

If you notice that your furnishings, artwork, or carpeting are starting to fade, harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun might be the culprit. UV rays can penetrate standard glass windows and cause significant damage to your interior over time. High-quality window film can block up to 99% of these damaging rays, helping to extend the life of your precious interiors and save you money on replacements or restorations.

If you live or work in a high-traffic area or close to street level, you may be longing for more privacy. Window film comes to the rescue here as well. Decorative and privacy films can provide an immediate solution, allowing natural light in while restricting the view from the outside. It’s a cost-effective way to add privacy without sacrificing the open feel of your space.

Windows are one of the most vulnerable points in a home or office building. Accidents, storms, or break-ins can cause windows to shatter, posing a risk to occupants. ComforTech™ film is a 2mil thick and two ply window film that will hold glass together in the case of accidental breakage (think: a baseball hits your window). But it is not rated as a safety film. Safety window film can strengthen your windows against such incidents. This type of film holds the glass together even when shattered, minimizing the chance of injury from flying shards and deterring potential intruders.

If your energy bills are persistently high during the summer or hot months, your windows might be a significant part of the problem. Solar control window films work like a charm in improving your home’s energy efficiency. They help keep heat out during summer, reducing the strain on your HVAC system and leading to lower energy costs.
In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy classifies window film as an energy-efficient window covering. And some local utility companies – especially in warm climates – recognize window film as an energy saver by offering their customers rebates for installing tint in their homes.
