The Money-Saving Winter Benefits of Window Film
During the winter, people don’t think much about window film. It is usually considered something to control the sun, and since we get less sun in Denver during the winter, tinting is not top of mind. However, window film is good for so much more than sun control. The most obvious application it works best for in winter is energy savings.
Window Film Saves Energy in the Winter
The windows of your Denver home are responsible for significant heat loss. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, your windows could account for up to 30 percent of escaping heated air. Window films add a layer of insulation to windows that are equivalent to a full pane of glass. Although window films cannot prevent all heat loss from escaping, they reduce it enough to make a noticeable difference in energy bills and come with other benefits.
Additional Window Film Benefits for Your Denver Home in Winter
Beyond reducing heat loss and lowering energy bills, window tinting comes with many more benefits. They are year-round advantages for your Denver home. They make your home more comfortable and improve the ROI of the film you have installed.
Reduced HVAC use: Window film helps HVAC systems run more efficiently. They also reduce wear and tear on them. So they work better for longer and require fewer costly repairs or replacements. This adds up to even more savings from window film.
Reduced fading of Furniture: The sun’s rays don’t stop damaging home furnishings in winter. In fact, sometimes more sunlight comes into homes because the shapes and curtains are open more. Window film is the best defense against wood fading from the sun, reducing the need for repairs or replacements.
As you can see, window film is just as useful in winter as in summer. It has practical values like savings and comfort. To learn more about any of these films, contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation.
