What is Solar Window Film?


Solar window film is a thin film which either keeps natural heat from sunlight in or out of the building. It’s used with residential homes in particularly cold or hot environments but is more often associated with commercial buildings and skyscrapers, which are climate controlled and windows only provide a view of the outdoors.

Advantages of Solar Window Film

The solar film offers distinct advantages in how it manages sunlight and the heat associated with it. In a cold climate where heating during the winter is an expensive bill, the solar film can allow sunlight and radiant heat in, and keep it inside. In a warm climate in which air conditioning over the summer months is more expensive than winter heating, the solar film can reflect the natural heat of sunlight while still allowing a view of the outdoors through windows. UV light which can be damaging to furniture and personal health is blocked. Essentially, the solar film provides the advantages of having solid walls while allowing for window views.

Potential Arguments Against

Along with considerations as to why window film is advantageous comes a clear definition of what disadvantages are implied. When applied to keep a building cool during the summer, the film will also cool the building in winter, resulting in higher heating bills. When applied to a building in colder climes to keep heat in during the winter there is going to be a higher price for air conditioning during the summer months. A third disadvantage doesn't apply with high-quality films, but it can potentially darken the view of the outdoors, making sunny days appear clouded and cloudy days might appear even darker. Such an aspect isn't always a disadvantage, as the shade can be a valued commodity on some days in certain areas or most days in other locations around the country.

The final decision concerning solar film comes down to a matter of environment, personal preference, and what works best for your home or building according to location. The solar film provides distinct advantages when properly designed and applied by professionals. It will most certainly reduce your annual power bills, even if heating or air conditioning expenses are raised for a few months out of the year.

3 Benefits of Window Tinting for Businesses


It's the little things which keep employees happy and customers impressed. UV rays aren't a myth and according to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is becoming more prominent than all other forms of cancer, with an increase in diagnosis occurring each year. Using commercial tinting in Utah will not only prevent exposure to these harmful rays but protect your merchandise and electronics too. These are the little things people have come to expect and respect from a business. A majority of businesses settle for blinds, but who wants to be smothered with a stuffy atmosphere and fluorescent lights? Using commercial tinting in Utah will not only separate your business from the pack regarding UV rays but in three other major ways as well.

Window Film is Cost Efficient

Running electricity, especially in warmer environments, can be detrimental to bottom-line profits. With commercial tinting in Utah, natural light is allowed through while heat remains outside where it belongs. Businesses who use window tinting have shown to produce results such as:
  • Lower electricity bills
  • More natural and less fluorescent light
  • Increase in worker productivity and customer sales

Quality Environment for Customers and Employees

Comfort is often rated as a low priority. However, studies out of the Harvard Global Health Institute have shown productivity will increase by up to 25 percent when employees work in a comfortable environment. The same goes for potential customers and clients. Being secluded in a closed and dark space isn't healthy. People want to see and feel the environment around them. Window tinting your business provides an elevated environment without the elements coming into play.

Stylish Privacy

In addition to the comfort provided by tinting, visual style plays a major role as well. Options to improve the look and style of your business can include:
  • Company logos
  • Branding
  • Stylish patterns and images
The technology used in providing these stylish add-ons will catch a customers attention while also providing a unique and one-of-a-kind feel towards your business.

Is Commercial Tinting in Utah Worth the Cost?

Not every business is set up the same way, and every window might not need tinting. Call to discuss options available for your business and receive estimates which can fit into your overall budget. Be unique and unafraid to stand out from the crowd while providing an atmosphere all will appreciate.
