Solar window film is a type of film that goes over your windows and adds a number of benefits in the long run for your home. We have compiled the top benefits of solar window film for you below:
Easy Installation: The solar window film is lightweight and easy to handle. It is usually sold as non-adhesive vinyl. For self-installation, you would only need a yardstick, a washable marker, a damp sponge, a sharp knife and a plastic card (such as an old credit card). The windowpane needs to be fully measured out and then those measurements should be transferred over to the solar window film to be cut. Wet your glass with the sponge, apply your solar window film and use the plastic card to remove any air bubbles. If you ever decide to change out the film, just simply peel it off of your window. Be assured that the film is very durable and will not peel off on its own. However, most people like to replace their film as needed.
Lower Investment: Solar window film can really pay off over time. If you’re looking for something that can regulate your home temperature and put money back in your pocket, this is the best home solution. The film can be bought in stores or online and can even be less costly than a regular solar window shade or blind. Also, you don’t have to dust the film like you have to dust the shade or blind. If you decide to have your film professionally installed, you will likely pay more. On the other hand, it will last even longer and be even more adhesive than self installed solar window film. Having it professionally installed will pay off even more in the long run because of how well made and installed it actually is. Most professional installers also offer a warranty, making it truly the best value for your money.
Regulating Your Home: Adding solar window film to your home will regulate the temperature year round while lowering your heating and cooling bill. You will not need to utilize your heating and cooling systems as much when using the solar window film because it blocks ultraviolet rays that can cause your home to overheat or become too cold, causing you to use your heating and cooling system.
To conclude, the benefits of solar window film may be condensed to a top three, but the true benefits are endless. While this may not be the best solution for every home, it has worked for so many and gradually built up a strong following. Consider this home solution that will save you time, money and several headaches.
