How Window Film Can Help Salt Lake City Historical Buildings Reduce Energy Cost While Keeping Warm This Winter
It can be challenging to keep a historic building warm during the winter without raising utility costs. When the weather cools down, the cold air constantly comes into contact with the windows of a building. The glass pane itself becomes cold and all the heat produced by heating systems and fireplaces transfers outside. That’s why when preparing a historic property for winter, windows should always be given extra attention. However, if you find that the windows of your property aren’t performing up to par, you don’t have to replace them. Instead you can use energy saving window film to retrofit your Salt Lake City historic building windows for better performance and energy efficiency.
Do Historic Buildings Lack Energy Efficiency?
Many people think that because a building is old, it’s not energy efficient. However, this simply is not true. You know the old saying, they don’t make things like they used to? Well, it can be perfectly applied to historic buildings. In actuality, historic properties like those in the Avenues and Capitol Hill neighborhoods of Salt Lake City are very energy efficient because the walls are thicker and better materials are used for window and door frames like wood instead of vinyl.
That’s why it doesn’t make sense to discard historic windows. Historic window frames are highly energy efficient and they also are important for the character of a building. A much better alternative is to improve the glass panes within the windows by applying a super insulated energy saving window film.
Save 30% or More with Window Film
Window film is a highly effective way to improve the energy efficiency of old or single pane windows. Glass on itself is not a very well insulated substance. It needs protection to keep out the heat and cold. Installing window film is an easy to improve the insulation of glass and prevent energy loss. Studies show that average savings from window film can accumulate to as much as 30% annually.
