Spring Break is right around the corner, and believe it or not, it’s a great time to think about installing a new window film. Whether you are going on a grand vacation this spring break or planning a fun “staycation”, new window film can help in more ways than one. Not only does it improve your life in small ways like reducing tv glare, but fundamental changes such as cutting costs and increasing security. Check out how new window film can help your spring break go off without a hitch!

Energy Savings

Even though springtime usually brings fair weather, the sun will shine through your windows, heating up your home. This means you have to run your A/C even when it is cool outside. You don’t have this problem when the new window film is installed. You effectively get to block out harmful UV rays and keep your house cool. Your energy bill will go down because the sun’s rays are not becoming trapped in your home. The new window film starts paying for itself on day one! It won’t have to be applied again for a decade or more. 

Not only that, but your living space will be more comfortable for you. You won’t have to deal with annoying hot spots or furniture fading. If you are planning a “staycation” this spring break you will want the energy savings. You won’t worry about needing any extra fans for when guests come over. Try new window film instead of installing expensive blinds or new windows to save money this year.

Security

If you are planning on traveling this spring break you will want window film installed before you leave. Security window film acts as an added barrier for would-be thieves. It will take them multiple tries just to break into your home. They also just won’t be able to use their fists. A criminal would have to use a bat or crowbar just to crack your window. That’s how strong window film makes your windows! It’s a great way to fall in love with your home again, and feel safe. The film holds the glass from shattering, frustrating criminals when time is so limited. If you are in your home and a break-in happens, it buys you valuable time to call the authorities or escape. 

We also highly recommend a new window film if you live in an area with a lot of storms. Often times during a storm, objects can be flung at windows causing them to shatter. Window film helps protect you from that but also protects you from winds that can break your glass. If your windows shatter, that glass could be flung at you and your family.  Even if your glass shatters, new window film can hold the glass in place for a time, allowing you time to seek shelter.

Privacy

Not only does window film block the heat, but it does a great job of giving you privacy. Putting a new window film on your home is a cheap solution for privacy. You don’t have to worry about nosey neighbors as they can’t see in. However, you will still have visibility even at night. It’s a great way to beat the summer heat while still being able to keep an eye on your kids. We recommend this for couples who live in crowded suburbs or next to highways. The darker tint also protects you from criminals seeing into your home. If they can’t see the layout of your home they are less likely to steal from you.
