4 Common Window Film Myths

Window Film.  It is actually one of the most ubiquitous and ingenious inventions of our time.  While you likely don’t even know it is there in most cases, it is working hard 365 days a year to keep you protected as you go about your daily life here in Denver. From storefronts to schools and hotels to stadiums this cutting-edge technology is being implemented by homes and businesses around the country and we are better off for it.  But for all that window film does for us, there are also a ton of misconceptions surrounding it that keep people in the dark about its true efficacy and stop them from applying and really, living their best life. Below we have outlined four of the most common myths about window film and why they are anything but true, to give you a clear understanding of the power of this modern home and commercial amenity.

Window Film Myth 1: Window Film Is Permanent

The truth is window film is one of the easiest home improvements to remove.  It also has incredibly low toxicity. It is applied with a simple water-soluble adhesive in most cases and can be both applied and removed in as little as one day!

Window Film Myth 2: Window Film Will Harm Windows

Since window film is applied with a non-toxic water-based adhesive it literally peels right off.  When/if you decide you no longer want window film on your windows for some reason, or you want to upgrade your existing window film, simply call a certified window film professional like Scottish Window Tinting Denver and they will be able to remove it with zero signs it was ever there after they are done removing it.

Window Film Myth 3: Window Film Will Darken Windows

Window film has come a long way in the last 50+ years.  Gone are the days of dark, gaudy window film that darkens window and obscure views and here to stay is an era of perfect clarity.  That’s right, today’s window film works to absorb the harmful rays of the sun rather than block them, letting through 100% of visible light and leaving your windows crystal clear.

Window Film Myth 4:  Window Film Is Very Expensive

Pound for pound, window film is one of the most cost-effective home improvements.  In fact, in most cases, it pays for itself in as little as three years due to the fact it will save you up to 30% in utilities monthly.  Between this savings and the comfort increase in your home, the already low cost of window film on your Denver home is well worth it.
