Too many business premises suffer from being uncomfortably hot in summer, with employees asking their boss why they can't have air conditioning.
For many of these situations, there is a simple alternative - reflective window film. Using a film on window glass is an easy, low-cost way to reduce the impact of summer heat gain from the sun. An interior will always heat up, when summer sun hits the glazing in external windows. The heat from the glass is then convected around the room off the inner surface, creating hot, stuffy conditions that are not conducive to efficient working. Window films help to reflect some of this solar heat back out of the building, so reducing the amount of heat gain.
Window films come in a variety of designs, shades and degrees of transparency; so it is likely that a suitable solution can be found whatever your window design and the type of protection you require. Most window films will ensure sufficient light reaches the interior, while providing an effective reduction in the strength of the sun's rays reaching the interior.
In many cases the installation of anti glare window film will also have the added advantage of uv protection, meaning that interior fittings and furniture, merchandise and displays will be less likely to suffer colour fading as a result of the sun's ultraviolet rays. In addition, protective window films can also be specified with a visual reflective element, or a pattern, to reduce the view in and improve privacy. This effect is generally one-way, still allowing the building's occupants to see out.
Protective and anti glare films are easily fitted by a competent window film supplier. The film itself can be cut to suit any window design, and is applied to the interior surface of the glazing, with minimal disruption to building occupants while the work is carried out. Once installed on the glass, window films start working right away, reducing solar heat gain on the next summer day that the sun comes out. In contrast with the alternative many employees might ask for instead, some form of air conditioning, window films also have the great advantage of being green, having zero running costs once installed.
