What is architectural film?
Architectural window film, also known as window tint or window film, is a thin, multi-layered sheet of polyester material that is applied to glass surfaces in buildings. These films are available in both reflective & non reflective finish. The primary purpose of architectural window film is to enhance the performance and appearance of windows. It comes in various types and can serve different purposes. We recommend using professional installers like our team at National Fitment Solutions as the product requires careful application to ensure a smooth and even finish and longevity.
Benefits of Architectural Window Film:
- Solar Control: Window films can reduce the amount of solar heat and glare entering a building. This helps in maintaining a more comfortable indoor temperature, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning, and improving energy efficiency.
- UV Protection: Many window films are designed to block a significant amount of ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays can cause fading and damage to furnishings, artwork, and other materials inside a building. Window films help protect these items from UV radiation. Our film blocks 99% of UV rays.
- Privacy: Some window films provide privacy by limiting the view into a building from the outside. This can be particularly useful in urban settings or for windows facing busy streets.
- Safety and Security: Certain types of architectural window films are designed to strengthen glass and hold it together in the event of breakage, helping to prevent injury from shattered glass. This can also deter burglars and intruders.
- Decorative Enhancement: Architectural window films are available in various colours. They can be used for decorative purposes to enhance the aesthetics of a building or create a specific design effect.
- Energy Efficiency: By reducing the amount of solar heat entering a building, window films contribute to improved energy efficiency. This can result in lower cooling costs, especially in regions with hot climates.
- Glare Reduction: Window films can significantly reduce glare from sunlight, making it more comfortable to work or relax near windows without the need for heavy curtains or blinds.
