How Do Solar Window Films Save You Money?

   As our country becomes more energy conscious, more people are realizing the many benefits of having a protective film or tint put on their homes windows. Car owners have been tinting their windows for decades to keep sun damage to a minimum for their interiors. Homeowners are just learning the advantages of having window films put on windows in their home. Window films are a type of window treatment that will help keep the harmful UV rays of the sun from damaging your furniture (sunlight fades objects over time). Residential window film will help insulate your windows as well and keep warm air in during the winter months and hot air out during the peak summer months. This should lower your heating bills and reduce your cooling costs in the summer. People also use window film to get more privacy in their homes and to cut down on the overall glare of the sun.

  Windows are great for allowing light to enter your home and for admiring views but they have a big drawback when it comes to energy efficiency. Modern windows are certainly better at retaining heat than those found on older homes, but adding insulating window films to your windows will dramatically reduce your heating bills in the winter and lower the cost to keep your house cool in the summertime. Allot like the solar window screens offer by the Zero Energy Team, insulating films offer a year round benefit with the ability to reflect up to 70% of the suns heat in the summer and retain almost 55% of the heat in the winter months. Your utility bills will be effected in a positive way and the air conditioning won't be running all summer. Another advantage to installing insulating window films is that they can block up to 99% of UV rays meaning there is less fading to your window treatments, interior furniture, and flooring (rugs, carpets, etc.). They work on single and double pane windows. They remove 99% of the UV rays, they reduce glare, reflect up to 78% of the sun's heat so it doesn't enter your windows.
