Homeowners are always on the lookout for new ways to make their homes more efficient, more beautiful, and more comfortable. From a new coat of paint on the walls to an eco-friendly HVAC system, you can invest a little or a lot. If you’ve never considered installing professional window film in your home, you might be surprised to learn that it can save you money, protect your furniture, keep you more comfortable, and more. 

Improved Heating and Cooling Efficiency

Whether your furnace is running nonstop during a blizzard in the winter, or your air conditioner just can’t seem to keep up with the heat, your HVAC system accounts for between 30% and 40% of the energy your household uses every single day on average. While the process of winterizing your home can make an enormous difference, installing professional-grade window film can benefit you even more. In the winter, it serves as a form of insulation and keeps the heat inside where you need it. During the summer, it blocks the heat generated by the sun shining through your windows. It will give your HVAC system a much-needed break, and that break will make your wallet happy, too. 

Boosted Comfort

Your home is your sanctuary, so it only makes sense that you would want to keep it as comfortable as humanly possible. Window tint adds comfort in ways that you may not have previously considered. Window film can:

• Block glare. Depending on how your home’s windows are situated, you might find that the early morning or late evening hours make certain parts of your home unusable unless you close the shades or blinds. Window film is a fantastic way to block that glare without completely blocking the sunlight. 

• Improve privacy. If privacy is a concern, window film can be a huge help here, too. You may be familiar with frosted glass films that are ideal for bathroom windows and even shower stall doors, but today’s film technology makes it possible to reduce visibility from outside your home without interfering with your view of the great outdoors. In other words, you can see out, but passersby can’t easily see in. 

• Reduce heat near windows. If your favorite recliner gets too warm because of the sun shining through the window, window film can block as much as 79% of the sun’s energy and give you back the best seat in the house. 

Home Protection

As if saving you money on your energy bills while keeping you comfortable wasn’t enough, professional window film can even protect your home in a few different ways. First, while film cannot prevent a window from breaking, it certainly can reduce the risk of shattering, which can lead to severe injury. Furthermore, the sunlight streaming through your windows is partially made up of harmful UV, which can damage your furniture, your carpet, and even your skin over time. UV-blocking window films are specifically designed to keep up to 99% of the harmful rays out. 

From incredible energy savings to increased comfort, and even to improved protection, professional window film is a wise investment for any homeowner. There has never been a wider selection of traditional and decorative window film, so the design possibilities are as endless as the benefits.
