Over the years we have had a lot to say about the benefits of window film in our blogs. We often point out how useful it is for nearly every aspect of your everyday life at home and work. Overall window film serves a very real and valuable purpose. In fact, there may not be a simpler, advantageous improvement for home or business than window film. One of these ubiquitous films is privacy film. Not only does it carry with it many of the same benefits as energy-efficient and security films but pays for itself in as little as three years on average–after which it puts money back in your pocket. Privacy film, however, also comes with a host of other benefits.
Top Three Privacy Window Tinting Benefits
- Privacy Window Tinting for More Security: Privacy window tinting makes both homes and businesses more private and therefore safer. In an office setting, this looks like one-way films, and cloaking films protect private/sensitive information. These films give coverage to spaces that have a lot of private information like human resources, conference rooms, and accounting. From films that cloak computer screens with sensitive information on them to others that providing the coverage for interviews in conference rooms–commercial privacy films serve many, diverse purposes. In homes, privacy window tinting keeps your family and belongings safe from the eyes of those just passing by (and nosey neighbors). While these views are mostly harmless they are always comfortable and could lead to crimes of opportunity. When someone that means you harm can readily see belongings and if you are home–the odds of them attempting to break in increase.
- Privacy Window Film Blocks UV Radiation: UV rays here in the Salt Lake City area are a real problem. They cause damage seen and unseen. In fact, UV radiation is the cause of illnesses ranging from headaches to cancers. They also lower productivity–at home and at work. For visible damages–just look at furnishings, rugs, and floors that fade under the rays of the sun and need to be replaced prematurely. Therefore, while privacy window film is great for giving your home or business coverage from prying eyes–it also blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays.
- Privacy Window Strengthens Window Glass: A big part of privacy window film’s function is to give the inside of your home and business protection from being viewed from the outside. As mentioned above, it also lowers the likelihood of crimes of opportunity. However, should someone try to break in–privacy film provides more protection again. This is because privacy window film reinforces the glass of your windows–making it more impervious to breakage. Not nearly as powerful as a security film system it still keeps glass adhered to the film when struck– making your windows harder to penetrate quickly–causing potential criminals to move on before authorities arrive.
