There are an infinite number of ways to show your loved ones that you truly care about them. One way is to enhance the level of comfort and security they feel in their own home - and what better place to start than a home’s windows. Window films are perfect for creating a layer of security over windows to make homes more comfortable and safe. Here are four reasons why window films can make a great present for someone you love or gift for yourself.
UV PROTECTION
Sunlight is known for its ability to boost vitamin D supply in the human body. However, excessive UV exposure is known to cause major skin damage especially to those who do not have much melanin. UV rays break down biological cell walls which leads to sunburn, premature skin aging, or worst, skin cancer. A solution would be to apply blackout window films because it prevents sunlight from penetrating through the windows by blocking out light.
REGULATE TEMPERATURE
With too much sunlight flooding into your home through unprotected windows, room temperatures can skyrocket, especially during the summer in certain parts of the country. Curtains, blinds, and drapes can help curb the heat, but may not be effective for every situation. Blackout window films on the other hand can reject more than 70% of the sun's energy thus keeping the interior of your home cool. And you know what that means...
LOWER UTILITY COSTS
As anyone who works remotely can attest, the more time we spend inside our homes, the more our utility bills increase. Household power consumption is at an all time high, with air-conditioners acting as one of the greatest contributors for spikes in electric bills. If you want to minimize your home's energy consumption, try putting blackout films on your windows; they lessen the need for excessive air-conditioning by keeping heat out.
ENHANCE PRIVACY
Add privacy from prying eyes by obscuring the view with window films. While both blackout and frosted window films provide complete privacy, choosing which one makes sense for your home depends on your individual needs. Blackout window films are designed to block the view from both sides of the glass while also blocking 100% of light from outdoors. Read up on the advantages here. Frosted window films, on the other hand, provide a beautiful frosted finish for your windows while still allowing natural light in your home. Here are some awesome privacy ideas. The best part about window films is that they are an inexpensive investment that will quickly pay for themselves and last you a lifetime. Window Whirl window films are easy-to-apply and require no special adhesives to fix it in place. They are self-adhering, easy to maintain, and clean up is a breeze. What’s not to love?
