As a result, it makes perfect sense to optimize our workspaces for improved comfort. Managing glare through windows is just one of several ways that window film can help make all the time we spend working from home more enjoyable.
4 Ways Window Film Can Optimize Your Home Workspace
Like it or not, most of us are spending a lot more time in our home offices than we ever could have imagined before COVID-19. As a result, it makes perfect sense to optimize our workspaces for improved comfort. Managing glare through windows is just one of several ways that window film can help make all the time we spend working from home more enjoyable.
4 Ways Window Film Can Optimize Your Home Workspace
Window film is composed of multiple thin layers of material that can be applied to glass windows, doors, skylights, and other glass surfaces in your home. There are many different types of window film, some of which have specific purposes like enhancing security or adding decorative patterns and textures for aesthetics. You’ll have many options to choose from for your home office, and some types of film can be combined with others for augmented benefits.
Films that have sun control properties such as Llumar solar window film are popular options for improving comfort in both homes and commercial buildings. Here are four ways this film will improve comfort in your home office or throughout your home:
1 – Manages Glare
Glare may not seem that important, but it’s more than just annoying. It can interfere with productivity when it makes viewing computer monitors and smartphone screens difficult or impossible. Glare can even lead to eye strain and headaches. Llumar solar window film is ideal for managing glare through windows. During the day, it blocks the glare-producing sun rays that make it difficult to see device screens.
2 – Protects from UV Rays
Solar window films blocks up to 99% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays that would normally enter your home through windows. Ultraviolet or UV rays are the invisible but harmful rays of sunlight that cause skin damage which can lead to melanoma — skin cancer. Window film reduces your exposure to UV rays that come through windows, glass doors, and even skylights.
3 – Improves Temperature Control
Sun control window film works to regulate room temperatures in several different ways. First, in the summer months, it reflects the solar heat from the sun to keep your home cooler. Secondly, in the cooler months, it helps hold the heated air produced by your HVAC inside your home. These functions result in improved indoor comfort year-round. In addition, the improved temperature regulation will help lower your utility bills.
4 – Balances Privacy & Natural Light
Unlike blinds and curtains which block out light, decorative window film provides sun control and enhanced privacy while still letting in plenty of healthy natural light. So instead of being dark and gloomy with the window treatments drawn, your workspace will be bright and inviting with window film. A naturally-lit home work environment is essential for productivity and overall well-being, especially when our hours of daylight are limited. An ideal application for frosted film in your home office is on French doors to elevate aesthetics, reduce glare, and improve privacy.
