Melbourne, Florida, is known for its beautiful sunshine, but those intense rays can also bring unwanted heat, glare, and harmful UV radiation. Fortunately, there’s a simple and effective solution: window film!
Here at Solar Solutions Window Tinting, we offer a variety of window films designed to enhance your Melbourne home’s comfort, safety, and energy efficiency.
But the question remains – what can window film really do for my home?
The benefits aren’t just for your home, but also for you and your loved ones!
The Many Benefits of Window Film
Depending on the film type you get, the benefits will slightly vary, but there is one that’s consistent throughout the entire lineup – UV Protection.
Protect Your Family and Furnishings from Harmful UV Rays
Did you know that prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to skin damage, premature aging, and even an increased risk of skin cancer? Most if not all our window films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, providing an invisible shield for you and your loved ones. Some of our films are even endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation for their superior UV protection.
This also helps protect your valuable furnishings, preventing fading and discoloration of carpets, curtains, and furniture. The worst part about the fading, is that you never notice it until it’s too late. Seriously, move your carpet that’s near a window and see the before and after of your flooring.
Window film won’t completely prevent the fading, but because it’s a 99% rejection, the lifetime of your furnishings, flooring, and even your belongings will drastically improve.
Keep Your Home Cool and Comfortable
Living in Florida, this is kind of a no brainer.
By reducing the amount of solar heat entering your home, window film helps maintain a more comfortable indoor temperature.
This can lead to significant energy savings as you rely less on your air conditioning system.
I’m not going to lie to you, it won’t be immediately noticeable if you constantly run your Air Conditioning. It might even feel exactly the same. However, give it a few weeks, and just watch as that bill drops slowly and surely.
Enjoy a Glare-Free Environment
Window film is perfect for home offices & living rooms!
Having an office directly across a window sounds magical at first, to always be able to just turn slightly and you have the great outdoors. And it’s true, that’s how I have my office set up. Now the only downside is the amount of glare that lands on your monitors, but that can all be fixed with window film, significantly reducing the glare, and allowing you to work in peace.
Or for your living room – there’s always that one angle in the sofa that creates a blinding reflection from the windows. Not anymore! Just slap some window film in your living room area, and no more fighting for the comfortable living room seats.
Enhance Your Privacy
This isn’t available for every film, but primarily for 3M Nightvision, Llumar DR, Solar Gard Slate, and a couple others.
Certain window films can create daytime privacy by making it difficult for people to see inside your home.
This primarily works during the day, when it’s brighter outside than it is inside. During the day, all they will see outside is a metallic reflective finish, while you’ll be able to see clearly outside. This effect is accented the darker film you get. For example, Slate 10 would give you the most privacy, but would also cut the amount of light cutting into your home significantly. It’s a give and take, but our experts at Solar Solutions can help you find the right film for you.
And as a plus, you can boost your home’s curb appeal!
With the mirror like finish on the outside, you’ll be adding a touch of sophistication, without hurting your view. If you plan on listing your home soon, the listing photos will come out immaculate!
Increase Safety and Security
Window film, regardless of whether you get regular film or safety and security, acts as a protective barrier, holding shattered glass in place in case of accidents or storms. This helps prevent injuries from flying shards and can if you opt for Safety and Security film, can even deter intruders by making it more difficult to break through windows.
Cost-Effective Window Upgrade
For those trying to do some remodeling but can’t pass inspection, this is for you.
Film such as 3M’s Ultra S800 can be installed on your windows to allow them to pass the tempered glass inspection! So instead of having to purchase completely new windows, all you have to do is give us a ring, and we’ll install the film for you!
And again, you’ll be getting the added benefits of UV rejection, and holding the shards in place in the event of an accident or break in. This is a smart investment that can enhance your home’s value.
