By installing window film for your Phoenix home, you can keep your living space cool and comfortable all summer long!
What Causes Summer Heat Gain?
The reason that your home becomes hot during the summer isn’t just because it’s warm outside. While outside temps do play a role, the reason for increased indoor temps is also due to a phenomenon known as “the greenhouse effect.” The greenhouse effect occurs when heat is able to enter a space, but cannot leave. Usually, this occurs when transparent building materials are present, such as windows. So in other words, the real culprit behind summer discomfort is the windows of your home.
Keep Your Home Cool During the Summer with Window Film
If you want to keep heat out of your home during the summer, you need to do something about your windows. Single pane windows are notorious for absorbing heat. But in some cases, it may not be practical to replace them due to budget constraints or historic preservation.
Instead of replacing your windows, you could retrofit them instead with window film. In Phoenix, window films are able to significantly cut cooling costs. Certain options, like 3M Sun Control Window Film, reject up to 97% of infrared light that causes heat gain. Keeping heat out of your home will not only make it more comfortable, but also save you money since your A/C unit will be able to do its job more efficiently!
