Solar film to help the environment

Solar film helps to cut costs and reduce emissions.

If you’re having trouble controlling the sunlight that comes through your office windows, consider installing solar film. It gives you a number of benefits, not least the fact that you can reduce your air-conditioning costs and thereby help the environment.

Solar film for your office windows

Solar film has been specially developed to allow light through your windows whilst stopping harmful UV rays and heat from penetrating your building. Solar film is easy to install and produces an immediate effect, helping you to control your office temperature and make your building a more comfortable place to work.

We all know how annoying it is to work on a bright day when the sum streams through the windows. Fiddling with blinds to help reduce glare, opening windows and running fans or air conditioning in order to reduce the heat and worrying about whether any harmful rays are coming through the glass are all common problems in many offices. Solar film can solve all these issues quickly and efficiently:

  • Harmful rays – no employer wants to expose his or her staff to harmful rays from the sun, but these rays don’t stop when they hit a window – unless that window is protected by solar film. The film prevents UV rays from getting through the window, providing your employees with protection from sunburn and your office equipment from damage.
  • Heat – it can be so uncomfortable to work in an office that’s too hot. Air conditioning is expensive and is harmful to the environment, whilst desk and pedestal fans result in papers blowing about and have to be exactly positioned in order to provide cool air in the right direction. Fitting solar film allows the majority of the sun’s heat to rebound from the glass, helping to keep your office at a reasonable temperature without increasing your electricity bill.
  • Glare – you are required to look after your employees’ well-being when it comes to using computer monitors or other equipment. Whilst in most cases this means providing them with ergonomic seating and other accessories that make their working life more comfortable, you also need to think about the consequences of glare from the windows. Continued problems with glare can cause eye-strain and neck problems, so using solar film to reduce glare will also improve the way your employees use their computers.
Solar film is tested to high standards, is easy to fit and makes everyone’s lives safer and easier, whilst also allowing the employer to help the environment by reducing air conditioning use. Find out more about how solar film can help you by talking to us today.
