- i. One of the most popular uses for window film is in climate and energy control. Window film significantly reduces solar heat gain through windows allowing a space to maintain its internal temperature and eliminating hot spots. Hot spots are temperature inconsistencies between one part of a building and another and are relatively common. The energy savings also results in reduced HVAC equipment wear and maintenance.
- ii. Window film also aides in fade mitigation by blocking damaging ultraviolet rays. Valuable furnishings such as carpets, furniture, and artwork all benefit from the reduction in ultraviolet rays streaming through the home or office windows.
- iii. Annoying glare can also be controlled through the use of window film. Window film is a popular choice in many homes and office buildings where certain areas of the space are prone to strong glare from the sun making it uncomfortable to work or relax.
- iv. Buildings with dated looking windows can benefit from window film. The installation of film is an inexpensive and easy way to improve the overall aesthetics of a building or residence.
- v. Decorative window films allow easy retrofit of existing glass with an array of patterns to compliment any décor. With decorative film the distinctive look of etched glass can be achieved at a fraction of the cost of actual etched glass. The designer films also allow private, interior glass spaces to be created while still welcoming in light.
- vi. Safety and security film products protect a building's occupants from the hazards of flying glass by holding glass shards in place in the event of a window breaking, preventing serious injuries.
