Why Municipalities Embrace Window Film

More and more residential and commercial building owners are upgrading their existing windows to include window tint. Commercial grade window film can reduce energy consumption and save building owners money on expensive utility hills.

Temperatures are soaring and as a result consumers are cranking their air conditioning, placing an unsustainably high demand on hydroelectric production. This can result in a temporary loss of hydro service, with rolling blackouts or brownouts in many locations.

Adding window film to your windows will reduce your reliance on hydro by blocking and reflecting the suns rays. Window tint blocks the harmful UV rays from entering the structure at all and reduces the need for air conditioning. It also will maintain a cooler and consistent overall temperature inside the building, regardless of where the sun is in the sky.

Temperatures are soaring and as a result consumers are cranking their air conditioning, placing an unsustainably high demand on hydroelectric production. This can result in a temporary loss of hydro service, with rolling blackouts or brownouts in many locations.

Decreasing the amount of sun that comes into your commercial building can cut down on energy demand, and one of the most cost effective and efficient ways to do that is with commercial window tint. The cost savings are well worth the investment of retrofitting your existing glazing with professionally installed tint. Although many property owners hesitate to spend the money on commercial window tint, the potential return on investment is significant. For instance, installing commercial window tint is 90% less costly than installing insulated replacement windows. Insulated windows don’t affect the interior temperature, as they still allow sunlight to enter the building through the windows.

Not only that, window film blocks the UV rays and prevents irreversible fading and damage to curtains, carpets, fixtures and furnishings which save replacement costs for these costly items. Electronics are especially susceptible to overheating, cracking and fading. In most cases, customers report the film pays for itself in the very first year.

Ask us how window tint can save you money on utility bills and improve occupant comfort. Staff, customers and clients will be happier and more productive in an environment that provides a regulated temperature, as opposed to areas with localized spots of extreme heat/sun and blasts of cold from the a/c.

Window tint also helps reduce the environmental footprint of your business. Taking steps to meet the “green” standards of your local municipality is good for you, your customers, and the economy by preventing brownouts or rolling blackouts. We wrote about this issue here.
