What is Solar Window Film?

Solar window film is a thin film which either keeps natural heat from sunlight in or out of the building. It’s used with residential homes in particularly cold or hot environments but is more often associated with commercial buildings and skyscrapers, which are climate controlled and windows only provide a view of the outdoors.

Advantages of Solar Window Film

The solar film offers distinct advantages in how it manages sunlight and the heat associated with it. In a cold climate where heating during the winter is an expensive bill, the solar film can allow sunlight and radiant heat in, and keep it inside. In a warm climate in which air conditioning over the summer months is more expensive than winter heating, the solar film can reflect the natural heat of sunlight while still allowing a view of the outdoors through windows. UV light which can be damaging to furniture and personal health is blocked. Essentially, the solar film provides the advantages of having solid walls while allowing for window views.

Potential Arguments Against

Along with considerations as to why window film is advantageous comes a clear definition of what disadvantages are implied. When applied to keep a building cool during the summer, the film will also cool the building in winter, resulting in higher heating bills. When applied to a building in colder climes to keep heat in during the winter there is going to be a higher price for air conditioning during the summer months. A third disadvantage doesn't apply with high-quality films, but it can potentially darken the view of the outdoors, making sunny days appear clouded and cloudy days might appear even darker. Such an aspect isn't always a disadvantage, as the shade can be a valued commodity on some days in certain areas or most days in other locations around the country.

The final decision concerning solar film comes down to a matter of environment, personal preference, and what works best for your home or building according to location. The solar film provides distinct advantages when properly designed and applied by professionals. It will most certainly reduce your annual power bills, even if heating or air conditioning expenses are raised for a few months out of the year.

3 Benefits of Window Tinting for Businesses

It's the little things which keep employees happy and customers impressed. UV rays aren't a myth and according to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is becoming more prominent than all other forms of cancer, with an increase in diagnosis occurring each year. Using commercial tinting in Utah will not only prevent exposure to these harmful rays but protect your merchandise and electronics too. These are the little things people have come to expect and respect from a business. A majority of businesses settle for blinds, but who wants to be smothered with a stuffy atmosphere and fluorescent lights? Using commercial tinting in Utah will not only separate your business from the pack regarding UV rays but in three other major ways as well.

Window Film is Cost Efficient

Running electricity, especially in warmer environments, can be detrimental to bottom-line profits. With commercial tinting in Utah, natural light is allowed through while heat remains outside where it belongs. Businesses who use window tinting have shown to produce results such as:

Lower electricity bills

More natural and less fluorescent light

Increase in worker productivity and customer sales

Quality Environment for Customers and Employees

Comfort is often rated as a low priority. However, studies out of the Harvard Global Health Institute have shown productivity will increase by up to 25 percent when employees work in a comfortable environment. The same goes for potential customers and clients. Being secluded in a closed and dark space isn't healthy. People want to see and feel the environment around them. Window tinting your business provides an elevated environment without the elements coming into play.

Stylish Privacy

In addition to the comfort provided by tinting, visual style plays a major role as well. Options to improve the look and style of your business can include:

Company logos

Branding

Stylish patterns and images

The technology used in providing these stylish add-ons will catch a customers attention while also providing a unique and one-of-a-kind feel towards your business.

Is Commercial Tinting in Utah Worth the Cost?

Not every business is set up the same way, and every window might not need tinting. Call to discuss options available for your business and receive estimates which can fit into your overall budget. Be unique and unafraid to stand out from the crowd while providing an atmosphere all will appreciate.

6 Common Types of Auto Window Tinting & Their Benefits

Window tinting is a great way to keep excess light out of a room while also providing the people inside privacy. With this goal in mind, there are several different types of window tinting that people can choose from.  

1. Dye Window Tinting

For those who are on a tight budget, this is the window tinting to go with. There are multiple layers of dye that are used to keep out the sunlight for a low price. The dye absorbs the heat from the sun, which can also keep the space cool; however, other types of tinting can be more effective.

2. Metalized Window Tinting

A metal window tinting helps to filter out heat by reflecting it. Instead of using a dye, this type of tinting uses small metal particles to block out the sun. These particles are invisible to the naked eye and embedded within the film itself. Furthermore, this type of window tint also makes it stronger by making it more shatter-resistant. It also reduces the glare and reflects UV radiation.

3. Hybrid Window Tinting

In this type of window tinting, a combination of both of the prior methods is used to reflect heat, light, and radiation. A common hybrid is titanium metal with a gray-colored dye. This type of window tinting takes the benefits of both methods to make it not too reflective while also providing some privacy.

4. Carbon Window Tint Film

In this form of tinting, there is a unique matte-finish that makes these windows look stylish. There is a carbon content that blocks the radiation responsible for warming up the inside. Therefore, this also prevents the upholstery from fading too quickly.

5. Crystalline Tinting

For those who want to tint the windows without making them too dark, this is the tint to go with. A crystalline tint blocks out the UV radiation and solar heat without making the inside of the space too dark. From the inside, it looks like there is no tint at all.

6. Ceramic Window Tinting

A ceramic tint film is a high-quality option for window tinting. The ceramic particles are known for their nonconductive nature. This is a new tint that has been proven to block out a large amount of solar heat without obstructing visibility.

3 Ways to Lower the Energy Bill in an Older Home

Older homes provide a classic architecture that gives the home character and makes them stand out. However, they aren’t very energy-efficient without having some upgrades over the years. Some of these changes can include switching light bulbs, installing a heat control window film, and adding insulation.

Switch to Energy Efficient Light Bulbs

This is one of the easiest ways to update the home and often the least expensive. This change can also be done regardless of the age of the home. If your home is still using standard light bulbs, switch to compact fluorescent lamps or halogen incandescent. These are both efficient options that can use between 25% and 80% less energy than traditional bulbs. A bonus is that they last longer than traditional bulbs as well, so even though they may be more expensive in the beginning, you will definitely save money. If you don’t want to switch out every light bulb, choose the five lights you use the most often to save.

Pay Attention to Windows

Windows can let out a lot of air, which can add pressure to the heating and cooling systems in order to maintain a more comfortable temperature. While you can replace your windows with more energy efficient ones, you can also add a heat control window film to lower the sun’s intensity in the home and become more energy efficient. The heat coming through a window can make the space too hot to enjoy and also raise energy bills, but with a film, you can still enjoy the area, all while keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. Not only does a window film help keep your home energy efficient, but it can also help reduce the painful glare and reduce harmful UV rays that come into your space.

Add Insulation to the Attic

Many older homes don’t have good insulation. In the winter, if you don’t have good insulation, the heat rises and will escape through the attic. This means the heater has to work harder and your power bill goes up in order to keep your home comfortable. Savings can depend on the insulation used and how much is added.

Enjoy your home and lower energy bills with just a few simple changes.

3 Tips to Care for Tinted Windows

Tinted windows are an excellent way to enhance the aesthetics of your home or improve the appeal of commercial spaces. You can also protect yourself from the harsh UV rays that heat up and fade the interior of your home’s furniture and carpets. Here are three tips on how to clean tinted windows:

Clean your tinted windows naturally

It is possible to damage the thin plastic film used for tinting windows if you use incompatible chemicals when cleaning. You can clean your windows safely by using natural cleaning methods − perfect for cleaning slightly soiled or streaked tinted windows for regular upkeep. You need a spray bottle of water and paper towels to execute the natural cleaning method. Spray your tinted window with a light mist using the spray bottle or spray your microfiber cloth and wipe the window. You should wipe the window vertically over the whole surface and horizontally until all the streaks or water droplets have dissipated.

Clean tinted windows with glass cleaner

Use a glass cleaner that doesn’t contain ammonia because ammonia can gradually damage your window tint. In fact, many tint installers use ammonia for removing window tint from the glass. In most cases, blue-colored glass cleaners have ammonia in them. You need a lint-free cloth or paper towels and recommended glass cleaner to do the cleaning. You can also spray the glass cleaner onto your cloth, especially if you want to avoid spots on your furniture. Ensure that you wipe the glass to every edge of your tinted windows. Remember to work quickly because glass cleaners tend to dry fast.

Cleaning excessively dirty tinted windows

You may be required to do several glass cleaner treatments on your tinted windows in order to properly remove streaks. A mixture of soap and water can easily remove the dirt. The soap you use should have a grease-cutting formula that can remove the cloudy residue from your tinted windows.

It is possible to achieve clean tinted windows and a tint that lasts longer by taking good care of your windows. Use either the glass cleaner or natural cleaning method for best results. Remember to pay close attention to your tinted windows whenever you are cleaning them. Glamour Glaze provides professional service at your home or office without causing inconveniences to your regular programs.

Tips to Choose Window Film for Heat Control

Are you looking for cutting-edge window films to make your home cozy and unique? Choosing window films is crucial when constructing or renovating your house. Window films increase comfort by minimizing heat and glare.

Here are six factors to consider when selecting window film for heat control.

1. Personal Goals

Standard window film products offer various benefits. When selecting a particular film, it's necessary to evaluate your personal goals. Goals help genuine dealers to guide you during the purchase. Security window films are appropriate for people living in regions with harsh weather conditions.

2. Performance

Personal goals influence the type of performance quality you require. You may have to check out the manufacturer's spec sheet if you are interested in energy-saving window film. A high Visible Light Transmission (VLT) boosts the film's performance quality. An experienced dealer can recommend window film for heat control that suits your home's design.

3. Aesthetics

Many homeowners focus on window film's energy efficiency and ignore its aesthetics. Before shopping, it's essential to decide whether a particular element including a shade or virtual invisibility is ideal for your house.

4. The Type of Window Film

There is a variety of window film including:

Insulating films: They offer unlimited comfort. Ordinary insulating films reflect most of the sun's radiation during summer hence cooling your house. Also, they retain over 50% of heat during winter, significantly reducing your monthly energy bills in return.

Glare-reducing films: Often, they minimize glare and can be quickly moved or reused during renovations. These films improve your home's appeal by preventing computer screen and television washout. In addition, they block most of the harmful UV rays. Apply them on the inside phase of single-pane windows.

Privacy films: Apart from increasing privacy, these films also block over 95% of UV rays. Typical frosted privacy films allow adequate light penetration as they are translucent.

5. Total Solar Energy Rejection

Customarily, total solar energy rejection measures a window film's ability to block UV rays and infrared heat from entering a house. A high total solar energy rejection offers comfort. It’s critical to know such figures when choosing.

6. Light Transmission

Window films have individual light transmission levels. It measures the film's darkness or lightness. A low light transmission indicates that a window film is dark. Having a balance of visibility and glare reduction is crucial.

When installing window film for heat control in your home, be careful since some might fall if done by quacks.

In the event that something goes wrong, they have the expertise to correct the problem until you are satisfied with the result.

Benefits of Window Tinting Your Home in Ogden, Utah

Many people are familiar with car tinting, and you can see that in several cars around you. But did you know that the same technology can be applied to your home windows? Investing in home window tinting is something that will reap you several rewards, including protection, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetics. Home window tints come in different types of films, including decorative and specialty film, window film, and security film, which are all customized to fulfill different purposes. Some of the benefits of window tinting in Ogden, Utah are provided below.

Energy efficiency

Window films help in regulating the home’s interior heating and cooling in response to the prevailing exterior weather conditions. For this reason, tinted windows act as an insulator, hence preventing heat loss during cold seasons and keeping heat out in the summer. This makes your home more comfortable during extreme temperatures without using the HVAC system, which translates to low energy bills.

Improved security and safety

Tinted home windows hide the interior of your home from clear sight, thereby deterring potential intruders. It’s also able to hold glass together, which improves safety in case of broken glasses. A security window film is thicker, which offers greater protection in case of vandalism or natural disasters like violent storms.

Protects your furniture

When harsh UV rays from the sunshine on your furniture day after day, it causes them to fade over time. Instead of using closed draperies, why not try tinted windows? They block damaging sunrays, letting you enjoy the natural light without fear of furniture or accessory damage.

Reduce glare

Glare can negatively affect your comfort levels and productivity, especially if you are watching TV, working on your computer, reading, or just performing other household duties. Tinted windows reflect the glare, allowing you to make most of the sun without any interruptions.

For aesthetic purposes

There are several types of tints to choose from for your home windows. Decorative window films can add a decorative feature to your home. You can opt for those that compliment your home in terms of color, design, and patterns. Tinting your home windows can imitate an expensive look for your windows at a lower cost.

Can Commercial Tinting on Windows Help Improve Energy Efficiency?

Did you know that the commercial HVAC systems account for more than 40 percent of total energy consumption in commercial spaces? However, this figure may increase significantly when the air conditioning system has to compete with your windows. Figures from the Department of Energy indicate that windows account for about 25 percent of any building's annual heating and cooling costs. Are you wondering how this is possible? Well, during the summer and late spring the sun rays tend to increase the temperature of buildings which make the air conditioner work harder to provide the desired temperature throughout the space. The result is increased energy costs.

What Is Commercial Window Tinting and How Does It Help?

Commercial window tinting refers to the application of a thin layer of clear polyester on commercial building windows to improve energy efficiency. The clear polyester is usually metalized or dyed. A combination of strong, laminated adhesives is also applied to the window tint to offer a scratch-resistant barrier. The coating is specially designed to protect against the destructive ultraviolet sun rays, snow, and rain. The commercial window tinting also protects the interior spaces from the destructive sun rays.

How Is Commercial Window Tinting Energy Efficient?

Reducing the overall impact that the sun has on your office spaces can go a long way in helping you save a lot of money when it comes to the energy bill. Some people tend to ask whether blinds and shades can also help in cutting down the energy costs. Well, to a large extent no. With commercial window tinting, you are allowed to keep your blinds and shades open which allows more natural light.

Window tinting reduces the room temperature by approximately five degrees and cuts out up to 80 percent of the heat from the sun. In fact, this can help you cut down your annual energy costs by up to 30 percent. Window tinting combined with good quality air conditioning can be the saviour that you have been looking for all these years.

Apart from cutting down on your energy consumption, tinting also prolongs the lifespan of your AC unit since it doesn’t overwork to achieve the desired temperature. Window tinting also reduces the solar damage to your office equipment.

Overall, energy-efficient window films can play a crucial role in making your commercial space energy-efficient. Although the improvement may seem smaller, it has a substantial impact on your monthly energy bill.

3 Benefits of Sun Control Window Film

Windows are an essential part or any residential or commercial building, from the views they reveal to the light they let in to illuminate the room. However, windows can also create a wide variety of other problems ranging from high energy costs since you are forced to run the air conditioner throughout to excessive glare.

Installing residential and commercial sun control window film in Utah can help you deal with these problems while providing lower energy costs and increased comfort. A window film can block up to 99.99% of the destructive and harmful ultraviolet sun rays from entering your home or office. Here are the top three benefits of sun control window film.

Lowers Your Energy Costs

Windows play a critical role in regulating the amount of heat in your home or office space. Fitting them with a sun control window film can significantly enhance the windows energy efficiency. This is possible since the window film prevents the free flow of heat from your home to the outside and vice versa.

For instance, you may discover that a lot of sunlight through your windows tend to warm up your home in the summer which makes your AC unit worker harder to maintain a comfortable room temperature. This can result in a significantly increased energy bill. However, with a sun control window film, a limited amount of heat will find its way into your home's interior hence cutting down on your cooling bill.

Protects Your Furniture

We all long to have natural light fill our office space and rooms but most of the time you are forced to compromise the view to protect your furniture. You always want the curtains to remain closed to prevent the ultraviolet sun rays from damaging your tables and chairs.

However, a sun control window film in Utah can reduce the damage caused by the destructive sun rays to your artwork and furniture without compromising the flow of natural light to your home or office. It’s time to stop running around and closing your window curtains and fit your windows with a protective film.

Reduces Glare

If you are the type of person who loves to open your blinds on beautiful sunny days and let the natural light in, you may have noticed that the sunlight can be too bright at certain times causing a lot of glare. The glare makes it hard for you to work or relax.
