Glare Reduction Window Film For Better Schools In Austin

Our schools in Austin are where our students go to learn and concentration is key to this mission. The truth is there are a million things that distract our students and cutting each of these out when possible is essential.  One of these major distractions is glare and solar heat transfer from windows that plague students here in Austin from the University of Texas to Strayer University. One way to address this problem, while providing a host of other benefits is–glare reducing window film.  Find out more below.

 

Reducing Glare Makes  Students More Productive


Case study after case study shows that glare is a killer of productivity in schools, universities, and colleges everywhere. When the element of glare is removed students are able to concentrate on what matters–learning.  There are three main reasons why this is so and how window film solves these issues.

Reducing Glare Stops Strain on Students Eyes


Unfiltered natural light is very hard on the eyes.  Beyond just the obvious strain from the brightness, it causes the eyes to water and can even have adverse long-term effects–like loss of vision and some cancers–when taken to extremes.  When schools apply glare reducing window film to their windows they control the light–allowing in filtered natural light which actually fosters a good learning environment, while blocking the harmful UV rays that hurt eyes, allowing students to get their work done with less eye strain and discomfort.

Reducing Glare Makes Computer Monitors More Viewable


When the rays of the sun are left unchecked they often interfere with viewing of computer monitors.  In today’s day and age, almost all students carry and take notes on laptops. This means that when the sun is inhibiting them from seeing the screen they simply cannot get their work done. Glare reducing Window film does a number of things to prevent glare from making screens unuseable including filtering it to make it softer, changing the angle of light and/or blocking it all together.  Even at peak glare times of the day, students in schools in Austin that apply glare reducing window film, will not need to struggle to view their monitors.

Reducing Glare Makes Students More Comfortable


If you have ever sat in class with the sun bearing down on you through untreated windows, you know that it is impossible to concentrate.  Glare reducing window film works to prevent this solar heat gain from perturbing students by rejecting up to 97% of the sun’s heat-producing infrared light.  This keeps temperatures even, cool and comfortable while at the same time protecting students from harmful UV rays too. When visible light and the infrared light are controlled correctly, students have the best chance at learning undistracted.
