Keep cool and cut costs

An application of window film can help increase the energy efficiency of your building, bringing down energy costs, reducing your carbon footprint and ensuring a year-round comfortable environment for those inside the building.

With summer getting ever closer, the days are getting longer and the average temperatures higher.  Whilst warmer temperatures are usually welcome, the stronger sun can cause problems for businesses, with temperatures quickly rising to uncomfortable levels inside buildings, often resulting in reduced productivity. The solution to this is often increased usage of air conditioning units, which can be very expensive to run.

Solar control film is available in a range of grades and finishes, and works by rejecting a percentage of solar energy. This stops the steady build-up of heat, which in premises with large expanses of glass and windows can be considerable. By reducing the heat within buildings, it is possible to reduce the strain on air conditioning units, thus having a positive impact on energy bills.

The most effective way of calculating the savings that window film can deliver is to undertake an energy efficiency survey. The Window Film Company offer this service free of charge for buildings that meet the qualifying criteria. Using specialist software we are able to provide a full, bespoke illustration of the return on investment you can expect. For more information on this service, please visit our energy efficiency section online.

In addition to financial savings, heating and cooling systems in buildings have been identified as one of the major causes of greenhouse gas emissions, so by reducing the usage of these systems,  it is possible to reduce the impact your building has on the environment, lowering your carbon footprint.

As well as cutting down on energy costs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lessening your carbon footprint, window film from The Window Film Company brings with it a host of additional benefits. Whilst energy efficiency film will help deliver a more moderate, enjoyable temperature, it will also cut down on glare, allowing colleagues to focus on screens, equipment or colleagues even on the brightest of days.
The majority of films also provide high level protection against harmful UV rays. These rays are one of the main contributing factors to fading, so an application of window film can help protect furnishing or equipment from becoming damaged or faded. UV rays can also have an adverse effect on skin, so with many of the film supplied by The Window Film Company blocking out up to 99% of UV, the health benefits are also clear.
