Fall is still flirting with summer weather. Though some areas around the country may still be experiencing August-like temperatures, others are cooling off and preparing for fall. And with winter not too far away, some people will start to spend more and more time indoors. That’s why now is a perfect time to take on a fall home improvement project!
In a Huffington Post article by Sam Cohen titled, “Build Superior Homes By Installing Window Films — Valid Reasons To Add Them To Your Windows“, we learn about what window film can do for you and your home in the coming seasons. It mentions some ways window film is a great choice for a home improvement project as the weather cools down. Some of the reasons are from the author, and some are our own thoughts.
6 Reasons Why Window Film is a Great Fall Home Improvement Project
Create a Comfortable Environment: After window film is installed on your home, it can create a more comfortable environment by reducing both hot and cold areas of your home that are often associated with proximity to windows.
Save Energy: Window film can not only improve the appearance of your home, it can also play a huge role in saving on energy costs. Depending on what type of window you have and the film you choose, significant savings on your energy costs are possible.
Protect Interior Furnishings from UV Damage: Window films can block 99% of the ultraviolet rays of the sun that enters your home. This is important because UV rays are the primary contributor to fading. As the window film blocks the UV rays, it also protects upholstery, furnishings, tapestries, flooring and art from discoloration and fading.
Enhance Security and Safety: Window films can also help hold glass together when a window is broken. Whether due to an attempted break-in, storm, or an accident, the window film can act as a barrier to entry and protection your family and pets from sharp glass shards.
Reduce Glare: At this time of the year, the sun is lower in the sky and this often creates irritating glare and reflectivity issues that aren’t as prevalent in the summer. Window film can help cut the glare reducing eye strain and allowing you to see things like television and computer screens more easily.
Improve Your Existing Windows: Rather than deal with the disruption of replacing your windows, window film retrofits to your existing glass to upgrade their performance. Also, professional installation can be done quickly with minimal disruption to the daily activities in your home.
