Don't let glare wear you down 

Windows are highly valued in both commercial and residential settings, providing a view and allowing natural light to enter the premises. These benefits can often come at a cost however, with glare one of the most uncomfortable and frustrating side effects of sunlight, contributing to an uncomfortable and unpleasant environment in which to work or relax. 

Glare can be a year-round issue, the strong summer sun resulting in dazzling levels of light with the low lying position of the autumn and winter sun often making it difficult to focus on colleagues or screens, potentially causing eye-strain and other discomfort. Traditional methods such as blinds or curtains are unappealing, as whilst they do stop glare, they also block the view and cut out natural light, creating a dim and gloomy environment. An application of specialist window film by The Window Film Company will immediately cut down on glare without sacrificing light and maintaining the view.

Anti-glare window film can be retrofitted to windows, with internal and external grade film ranges available. The film works by effectively adding a filter to glazing, instantly reducing the harsh glare and creating a more comfortable internal environment. The film has been specially developed to provide the optimum level of protection whilst still allowing light to pass through and preserving the view to the outside. Different shades and grades of the film are available, each providing a different performance and appearance, ensuring that there is a window film that will deliver both in terms of functionality and style.

Anti-glare window film also brings with it a host of other benefits. The majority of window films will block 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays – one of the main contributing factors to fading. Equipment, furnishings and flooring can all be irreversibly ruined by fading; a combination of UV rays, light and heat delivering the damage. By blocking the majority of the harmful UV rays, anti-glare film also provides an excellent fade protection barrier.

The properties of anti-glare film mean that it can also help control the heat build-up in your premises. Depending on the type of film chosen, heat can be reflected away before it enters the property, making it a more effective solar control solution than curtains or blinds. In certain cases, generally in situations where a property benefits from a large number of windows, window film can help save money by reducing the strain on cooling systems.

Don't let glare ruin your appreciation of the sunshine and the benefits it brings. In summary, anti-glare window film is a product that will provide an immediate and cost-effective solution if you suffer with glare, whilst also delivering a number of other benefits.
