What is the primary reason you are considering window film?
Apart from the benefits of considering a window film installed, generally it is for glass protection considered as safety tint, aesthetic, privacy as well as to reduce energy consumption to health benefit. Benefits differ for automotive and architectural, whether it is for a car, office or home.
Tint film itself is a thin laminate, the adhesive in between holds the entire glass firmly which would keep the glass intact, reduce the shock from breaking and potential danger from the shards. It creates a stronger security and safety for the window with the layers installed. Besides, some of the safety tint comes with shades that can reduce the visibility of what’s beyond the window which can reduce the potential intruder and possible theft.
Window tint varies in the shades from transparent or invisible to darker colour range. The colour range itself can aesthetically enhance the exterior on either architectural or automotive windows to be more visually appealing.
One of most typical reasons, safety and security can also be improved with the privacy feature from the window tint itself. It is great to have neighbours and still maintain a comfortable personal space in the neighbourhood. Areas such as the bathroom, rooms or finance department that needed extra privacy will be perfect to have privacy window film installed. As the technology evolved, brands like JD Evolution have Smart Film where you can switch the privacy feature on and off at the tip of your finger.
The one thing where it greatly affects most with or without window tint film installed is the energy consumption whether it is for car’s, office’s, homes and buildings. Window film can help to block heat gain and harmful UV rays which give you a layer of protection while reducing the energy consumption from the cool interior so there will be no need to blast the air condition to the max. The total utility bill spent on energy, sunscreen and products like furniture replacement can be converted to window film investment while protecting belongings for longer term and skin from UV rays, visual impairment, skin cancer and also to provide a cool and comfortable interior. In a way, it’s a big return of investment!
Speaking of skin cancer, window film can act as a solar shield as it can block the sun’s heat. Nowadays, even the transparent film can do so while it blocks harmful UV rays. Excessive harmful UV rays exposure to human skin from the sunlight may cause sunburn, skin cancer, visual impairment, premature skin aging and wrinkles.
In conclusion, window tint film installation is not only for glass or skin protection. It has many great benefits to also protect our belongings and privacy.
