Top 5 Benefits to Window Films

February 18, 2022

What is a Window Film?

Window film is a thin material made of polyester in multiple layers and treated with reflective coatings to help homeowners and business owners save energy by retrofitting existing windows. Professionally installed window film such as PMX Coatings not only help property owners save on energy costs, but also help to reduce the deterioration of interior furnishing, fabrics, and floors by blocking harmful ultraviolet radiation. 

The Benefits to Window Films

They have become popular and highly recommended over the years as they give an aesthetic feature offered to buyers beyond style points. They are often installed in residential and commercial buildings providing several practical benefits. Residential homes feature more glass panelling than ever, with home buyers falling in love with the notion of warm, sun-filled rooms. 

1. Energy Conservation 

Most homeowners choose them to save energy bills. Traditional glass windows allow the heat from the sun to penetrate, increasing the temperature of your home significantly. Window films allow the heat of the sunlight to be blocked, allowing your home to stay at a lower temperature and reducing your need to run the air conditioner. 

2. UV Protection

Although many are unaware, it is possible to get an unhealthy level of UV exposure from sitting in front of a window with lots of sunlight coming through. Many skin cancers such as Melanoma are caused by UV radiation which is caused by repeated exposure to sunlight. Window tint blocks 99 per cent of UV rays, so homeowners and organisations can have peace of mind knowing that they and their employees will not be exposing themselves to unnecessary UV damages inside your home.

3. Safety and Security

Windows on the ground floor are the main entry point for burglars. Whilst window film doesn’t prevent forcible entry into your home, it holds the glass in place longer making entry more difficult. This extra time can be enough to alert you and your alarm system and could even be enough to deter a thief altogether. This also has many safety benefits as it holds the glass together preventing it from shattering everywhere which can be beneficial when it comes to natural disasters.
