Although we all appreciate a little sunlight, it can bring two main problems when streaming in through your windows. The first is the heat. While we may enjoy the heat, when it passes through the windows but it can actually cause us to spend extra money on keeping the home cool with expensive air conditioning systems or we counter the heat by opening the windows. The second problem can be from the ultraviolet light, or UV light, which can be harmful to people within the home as well as causing slight damage to furnishings and décor. An excellent solution to these problems is to use solar window film on the windows. This is a coating that covers the windows, blocking the heat and some of the light without causing too much darkness in the room. Solar window film can allow up to 70% of light to pass through the window while at the same time blocking 90% of infrared light and 99% of ultraviolet radiation. The coating for the window can be applied to the inside or the outside, depending on the climate and the design of the windows. For keeping heat out of the house, a low-emissivity coating should be applied to the outside pane of double glazed windows. For keeping heat inside the house, the coating should be applied to the inside pane. There is an excellent variety of solar window film options for any homeowner, ranging from the popular tinted films to the colourless film V-KOOL, the world’s only window coating that is virtually transparent and still provides a barrier against heat and radiation from the sun. For some, the initial cost of having film applied may be a little high but it should be remembered that although the extra coating can cost up to 15 percent more than normal windows, the energy loss of the home can be reduced by up to 50 percent. There are a number of benefits to choosing solar window film for your home. As well as helping to bring down the amount you pay in energy bills and providing important protection from UV light, solar window film can also offer a little more protection for your home as the film can add extra safety to your glass as well as reducing damage to your flooring and furniture. The use of solar window film can also make you more comfortable in your home with reduced glare and an enhanced view from your windows. In some cases, coating the windows with solar window film has added value to a home. We can help you choose the best window film for your home needs and for getting the best reduction in heat and glare possible combined with keeping visible light and UV protection high. |
