3 Ways Window Film Can Lower Your Home Energy Bill


While all humans need an optimum amount of sunlight every day (as a source of Vitamin D), overexposure to sun rays is quite harmful to human health. Sunrays also contain UV or Ultra Violet rays that can cause skin cancers. Apart from human health, sun rays can damage many of your electronic gadgets including computer monitors and television screens. Frequent sunlight contact fades the furnishings and elevates the temperature of the room thereby increasing the workload of the air conditioning or HVAC units.

Because all components of sunlight are not harmful, the awnings, blinds, and shades are not the worthy draping of your doors and windows. You would not want to lessen the quality of the sunlight, but would definitely like that the sunlight that reaches to you and your home interiors does not have the excess and harmful rays including the UV rays. Hence the window films are today more preferred. Window films come in different strengths and have different configurations towards filtering sunlight. Here are 3 ways the window film lower your energy bill.

Filtering the UV rays

The window films do not allow the UV rays to enter your home (97% or more are filtered out). They hence save your health from the drastic and adverse effects of the rays. As UV rays also contribute towards increasing inner heat of the home, the films help in keeping the home interiors at an optimum level so that the air conditioning unit does not have to work more unnecessarily.

Controlling visible light

Unnecessary visible light inflow within your home interiors also increases the temperature of the home interiors. The new window films reduce the heat of the interiors by up to 60% by the use of nanotechnology. Excess visible light increases the heat and also adversely impacts the electronic gadgets and the home furnishings.

Night Vision

The window films are equipped with a unique reflective technology. They can hence provide better privacy during the daytime and can also provide for easy and better viewing of the home exteriors at the night. Better visibility of the exteriors helps in saving of costs that are incurred due to the artificial lightening of the doorways and other home exteriors.

Other advantages of window tints

Apart from saving on energy bills, window films also have several other benefits. They do not allow the early fading of carpets, window treatments, furniture and other furnishings of home. Sunlight is a known cause that fades around 70% of home furnishings, and the window films protect them all through their nanotechnology built and filtering configuration.
