Summer is with us once again, and that can only mean one thing; it’s time to reduce the temperature, stat! Hot summer sun can cause home temperatures to climb fast. Luckily, heat-reducing window film can help you fight back.
From air conditioning to ice-cold drinks, we Atlantic Canadians have gotten used to fighting the heat in the warmer months. Solar film, sometimes referred to as heat-reducing window film, can help you regain control of the ambient thermostat in your home and keep your family relaxed this summer.
Why is solar film useful in the summertime?
Solar window film is clever stuff. It blocks up to 99% of the sun's UV rays and up to 80% of heat and glare. In a nutshell, solar window film helps moderate the temperatures in your home. A more moderate temperature can help by reducing the temperature of your room and, through this, can reduce your reliance on air conditioning or fans.
Through UV-blocking capabilities, this handy window film can also drastically reduce UV damage to your family's skin and your belongings.
Cooler still
Solar window film is the perfect option to keep things light and airy, but if you are also looking to regain some privacy, privacy window film has the same advantages as solar film but also has reflective properties. It’s ideal for a home office or a space you feel is a little exposed.
