Window Film Gets Fort Collins Homes Ready for Warmer Weather
Spring is just around the corner in Fort Collins and you know what that means… warmer weather is on the way! Before you know it, the days will be filled with plenty of sunshine and beautiful 55-65 degree temperatures. As you prepare your home for the change in seasons, one investment you may want to consider is window film. Window films help Fort Collins homes stay cool during the warmer parts of the year and save money on energy costs.
How Window Film Keeps Your Home Cooler
Air conditioning isn’t the only way to keep your home cool, and it certainly isn’t the most cost-effective! If you really want to keep heat out of your home, you should invest in window film.
Energy saving window films use advanced technology like spectrally selective designs and nanoceramic particles to block heat without blocking natural light. Less heat is absorbed into your home, allowing it to stay cool even when it’s warm outside.
And because the interior stays cool, your air conditioning won’t have to turn on as often or work as hard. In this way, window film ends up saving homeowners about 15-30% on their energy costs.
Types of Window Film for Blocking Heat
Here are some of the different types of window film you can use for keeping heat out of your Fort Collins home:
- Spectrally selective: Spectrally selective films prevent the intrusion of infrared rays which carry heat into your home. These window films let in lots of natural light, so you don’t have to worry about them making your home dark inside.
- Low-e: Low-emissivity films are designed to prevent heat transfer. These are great for areas like Fort Collins where you want heat during the winter, but don’t want it during the summer.
- Nanoceramic: Nanoceramic films use microscopic pieces of ceramic to reflect heat away from your windows.
- Liquid thermal coatings: While these aren’t exactly the same as “window tint” they work in a similar manner. Liquid thermal coatings like Drywired Liquid Nanotint are applied in a liquid form and dry clear. These also do a great job at keeping heat out.
