Install Anti-Glare Window Film and Cut Your Cooling Bills in Half!

Why install anti-glare films?

Modern, light-filled homes with large windows and sliding doors are highly sought after, but they bring with them their own set of challenges. Many homeowners are shocked to learn that sunlight penetrating through large windows can cause upholstery fabric to fade, rooms to overheat, and sometimes even wooden floorboards to discolor. Direct sunlight on television screens, computer monitors, and mobile phones can make reading impossible.

Who wants to feel sticky and uncomfortable in their own home while socializing with family and friends? Anti-glare window films solve all of these problems. They allow the light we need to pass through while reflecting up to 79% of the sun’s harshest light and glare, and also filter out 99% of harmful rays that fade interior furnishings.

6. Reduces eye strain

Where to apply?

Anti-glare window films can be applied to any room in the house but are most commonly installed in rooms that receive excessive afternoon sunlight, such as south-facing living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. It’s not worth prioritizing windows in rooms where you spend only short periods of time, such as bathrooms and laundries.

Strong and excessive light spilling in through large windows can create a hot and stuffy environment for socializing, watching TV, or just generally hanging out. A study with a sea or mountain view could be your favorite room in the house but it won’t be very comfortable to use if it receives the full glare of the afternoon sun. Rather than completely blocking out the view with blinds, fit anti-glare window film and control the amount of sunlight passing through.

How is anti-glare window film installed?

Whether for residential or commercial purposes, it’s always recommended to hire professionals to install your anti-glare window film. The film is always applied to the inside of the windowpane. The installation process is as follows:

• Clean windows (must be absolutely spotless)
• Spray soap water solution onto the inside of the window
• Peel the backing sheet from the film and cover the exposed side with soapy water
• Place film on the windowpane
• Use a squeegee to push water to the edges of the film
• Remove water with a soft clean cloth

How to care for anti-glare window films

• Leave for a week after installation before cleaning
• Use a soft cloth or rubber squeegee
• Only use ammonia-free spray
• Avoid using hard brushes that could scratch the film
