Window films can be used for a variety of purposes. Whether it is to make your windows more energy efficient, add some color or design, or to provide some needed privacy, window films can do it all at a cost that won't break the bank. This video from Home Depot explains some of the many benefits of using window film.
Here are some of the common uses of window film, and how you can incorporate window films into your home.
Energy-Efficiency
You probably already knew that the summer heat seeping through your windows contributes to higher energy costs, but did you know that the sun may also be causing damage to your furniture? When UV rays go through your windows unchecked, they get into contact with the furniture, causing fading. Fortunately, window films can prevent this.
The Titanium Energy Saving Peel and Cling window film from Gila is one of the best window films for saving energy. It blocks up to 70% of the suns heat and 93% of UV rays. And you can still see outside; the film is transparent so the daytime view of the outside is not blocked.
Privacy
There are some parts of your home where you just need some privacy. Fortunately, window film can help with this. Whether you want a room to be completely blacked out or just partially, there's a window film that can do that. There are even special one-way privacy films, where you can see outside completely but nobody else can see in! Think of the ways you could spy on your kids...
This White Frost Privacy Window Film makes the best of both worlds. The owner can have completely privacy in the bathtub, yet a ton of natural light can still flow in from the top of the window.
Design
A lot of people think of decorative window films as gaudy, but when utilized in the right way, decorative window films can make your windows stand out (in a good way). One of our favorite window film lines is Vivid Color from our replacement window partner, NT Window.
With Vivid Color, you can make your windows any color from a subtle tan to a vibrant green. The deep red coating really makes these bay windows stand out, but still complement the wooded surroundings.
