1. Energy-Saving Window Films Help to Reduce Your Utility Bill

Fluctuating temperatures are what make your utility bills skyrocket and it’s mainly due to sunlight entering though your office windows. It’s estimated that about one-third of the thermal load in a building comes from sunlight streaming in through windows and only one-quarter of existing windows are energy efficient. The solution to this is easy: Energy-saving window films.LLumar and Vista energy-saving filmscan also lower your home’s cooling costs by reducing solar heat gain. For cooler climates, low-e window films can offer all year round energy savings for your commercial building.

2. Window Tint is an Affordable Alternative to Replacing Existing Windows

When deciding whether to totally replace your existing windows or to install energy efficient window film, there are a few things to consider. First, you must identify the true problem at hand. If your windows are simply letting too much heat and glare into your building, then getting professional window film installationfor your building, office, or storefront can be a great option. However, if your windows are experiencing moisture leakage or have damaged frames, window replacement is your best option. With that being said, if your windows are in good condition, window film often takes care of the issues that may be associated with the windows in your building.

3. Reducing the Heat and Glare in Your Building

When managing a commercial building, you might get complaint calls from tenants about the temperature of the building. Although this can be tiresome to deal with, normally what is good for the comfort of your tenants is also good for your utility bill. Solar control window films help to take away this problem by evening out the hot and cold spots in a building and providing a more comfortable environment for your tenants overall. Additionally, you don’t have to sacrifice that natural lighting your building may receive. Solar control window films allow your windows to allow natural light into the building while also protecting against heat and glare. As a plus, “going green” is an attractive quality for potential tenants looking to rent space from your building.

4. Window Films Provide Protection from Dangerous UV Rays

Most of the time, we don’t see the effects that the sun has on our daily lives. Although the sun can provide light and reduce the need for electrical lighting, it also comes with risks. UV rays are the main link between the sun and skin cancer. On top of that, UV rays can also fade furniture, carpets, wall coverings, artwork and other interior furnishings. Luckily, solar control window films can help you out. The solar control window films block more than 99% of the harmful UV rays that enter your building though windows. The best thing about the films is that they still allow natural light to enter in the building while providing the protection you need from harmful UV rays.

5. Building Safety and Security

As a manager of a commercial building, the top priority is to keep tenants and occupants, as well as your building, safe from potential harm. Threats to your building can come in a variety of ways from theft to vandalism to natural disasters. Having a security plan to provide protection to your building and its occupants is vital. Security window films are a great first line of defense against these potential risks. The films help to keep windows in place and prevent glass from flying from a shatter. Also, these films help to delay the process of glass being broken, potentially putting a stop to an act of theft or vandalism. These films play a huge role in reducing safety hazards and they also reduce the costs of damage linked to broken glass.

6. Graffiti Removal Cost Reduction

Vandalism is unfortunately a growing problem in many cities around the world and the costs of removal can be steep. Ant-graffiti film can be applied to glass, mirrors or even stainless steal and the installation process is quick and easy. When a vandalism occurs, the film is simply removed and reveals your undamaged glass. By being able to remove graffiti quickly, it also discourages vandals from striking again as they don’t receive the attention they sought out. The anti-graffiti film is also nearly invisible and the cost of installation can be twenty times less than if you were to totally replace the existing window.
