In this post we discuss the Benefits of Anti-Glare Window Film.
An application of anti-glare window film can instantly relieve you from the discomfort of glare.
Sun glare can make a room feel uncomfortable. Sure, the warmth and light from the sun are great, especially here in the UK. However, excessive and uncontrolled sunlight makes it difficult to see properly and this can lead to eye strain, migraines and general discomfort.
Traditionally, people would resort to curtains or blinds to protect them from glare.
The trouble with these solutions?
- Blocks, limits or completely obscures your view
- Prevents light from entering the room
- Expensive
- Subject to fading, damage and wear and tear
The alternative is an application of anti-glare window film, otherwise known as glare-reduction window film.
This, relatively, inexpensive solution has long been used in commercial environments like offices and shops. Now, it is becoming more and more popular with residential customers.
This type of window film allows light to pass through whilst filtering the UV rays. This mean little compromise on the amount of light entering the room. Further, it helps to keep the room cool in the summer and retains the heat during the winter months. So, less expense on heating and cooling your home.
Most importantly, it can be combined with other types of window film to provide enhanced protection or safety. For example, combining anti-glare with a safety film, simultaneously provides protection from UV rays, less glare and enhanced safety.
The benefits of anti-glare window film:
- Reduces glare from the sun by up to 95%
- Reduces the fading on furnishings, fittings and carpets
- Protection from harmful UV rays
- Improved comfort – a better environment and can increase productivity in a commercial environment
- Can be combined with other types of window film
- Alternative to blinds & curtains
- Scratch-resistant coating
- Improves the shatter resistance of the glass
- Helps lower energy bills
- Easy to clean
- Installed quickly by an expert window film installer
Further, it is available in a range of colours and opacity levels, each offering a different appearance and level of performance.
This is particularly important for modern designs where blinds or curtains would ruin the sleek and elegant feel to the room. Some customers even choose the silver, gold or mirrored finish to really add a bit of style to their room design.
