Take Action in Autumn!

Act now to keep cool in your conservatory & home next Summer

So, how was your summer? All of us here at The Window Film Company hope you had an enjoyable time, whether it be relaxing at home, immersing yourself in a summer of sport, holidaying or just enjoying the longer days and warmer temperatures. 

Of course, those warmer temperatures can cause problems, especially when it comes to keeping your home or conservatory cool. Well, here’s why this could be the perfect time to act…

Solar control window film from The Window Film Company is a high performance, long lasting and stylish looking way to stop your home from overheating. It works by bouncing away a percentage of solar energy (heat!) before it can pass through your glass, steadily increasing the temperature until it becomes uncomfortable. It does this without blocking the view or sacrificing natural light, unlike curtains or blinds, but with Autumn looming large, why is now the time to act?

Year-round benefits of film

Solar control film from The Window Film Company is brilliant at beating excess heat. Did you also know that it is just at good at reducing glare and helping to fight against fading?

Glare can be a year-round issue. On bright days, sunlight can stream through untreated glass making it difficult to see screens or focus on reading. During winter months the lower lying position of the sun can mean that light passes through glass at an awkward angle, having even more of an impact on your comfort.

An application of window film (you can buy it on a DIY basis or take advantage of our nationwide installation service by the way) will help reduce the glare by up to 79%, allowing you to enjoy the sunlight without it impacting on your daily life. It’s important to note that while the film will slightly alter the appearance of your glass, it won’t make it feel unnecessarily dark (or cold). The film has been specially developed to filter out the harshest of the light, ensuring that you can enjoy a glare free environment in your home or conservatory on even the brightest of days throughout the entire year.

Fading can be an expensive and inconvenient issue. Often undetected until it is too late, fading can cause damage to flooring, furniture, clothing upholstery, artwork – almost anything that is in direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time. Fading is caused by three main factors – UV rays, heat and light. UV rays are the main contributing element and an application of solar control window film will block up to 99% of these rays.

The only way to stop fading, which like glare is a year-round issue, is to completely block out the light and heat, which would completely remove the benefits of having windows in the first place. Adding window film to your glass means that you get to enjoy your windows, enjoy the daylight they deliver and enjoy the view – all safe in the knowledge that the film is helping to fight fading while you sit back and relax.

Ready and set for summer!

While even the most optimistic among us will concede that this summer is all but done, there are certain to be some warm days in the coming weeks – an application of film will mean that you’re in prime position to enjoy that late season sun. You’ll also be ready and able to relax, knowing that you are ready for next summer, while also benefitting from the year-round glare reduction and fade protection that the film will provide.

By booking an installation from one of our fully qualified and vastly experienced fitting teams, you can be assured of a perfect finish, and by acting now you can get your film fitted quicker – the lead times are always much longer in the peak summer months.
