Help Control Temperature inside Denver Homes with Window Film
July 23, 2019 in Aggrigate, Residential Window TintingThis summer is a hot one with a heatwave sweeping the nation! Here in Denver, we feel it as much as any place with temperatures in the 90s for days in a row. People are really starting to feel the heat and even with air conditioning homes are still running hot. This is because of the sun. It is relentless and penetrates deep into Denver homes heating the area around any windows up and reducing the efficacy of A/C. Solar heat gain is the main culprit behind hot and/or uneven temperatures in homes but is something that is easily controlled with window film. So when looking to beat the summer heat the solution is window film to control solar heat gain on your Denver home and has many other benefits too.
Keeping Cool This Summer With Window Film On Your Denver Home
Different window films work in different ways depending on the issue they are solving. But solar films are designed with sun control as their main function and keeping temperatures under control as a result. “Spectrally selective” films reject 90% of the sun’s infrared rays. This means your home stays significantly cooler because Infrared rays are the ones responsible for producing the heat. When you block the infrared rays with window film, the interior of your Denver home are cooler and more comfortable. Also, the load on your cooling systems is lessened, reducing costly repairs and lowering utility bills.
Additional Window Film Benefits For Denver Homes
While window film blocks infrared red rays that heat up your home, it also blocks UV rays too. In fact, most window films block up to 99.9% of UV rays which has two key benefits for Denver homeowners.
- Window film helps protect furnishings from the detrimental effects of the sun: Fading of furnishings and floors is a problem in any home, especially here in Denver where the high altitude magnifies the sun. This type of sun exposure takes its toll on your belongings: wood floors, upholstery, furniture, and artwork. When you have window film installed, which blocks the detrimental UV rays, the furnishings you value stay protected– looking better and lasting longer.
- Window film protects you and your family against skin and eye cancers: Sun exposure is strongly linked to many cancers and other diseases of the eyes and skin. So using window film is a smart way to reduce your risk of getting these illnesses. It is so powerful that the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends it as a safeguard against some cancers and other “sun-related” illnesses. This means not only will window film keep your Denver household cooler and more comfortable in the summer but healthier too!

Bird Strike Prevention for Window Films for Denver Office Buildings and Homes
February 1, 2018 in Commercial Window Tinting, Residential Window TintingWhy Birds Fly Into Windows Of Homes And Office Buildings
Bird strikes may seem like something that happens to airplanes but bird strikes on windows in high rises and surprisingly even homes, are very common and bad for both bird and property owner. If you have ever seen it first hand you know the sickening thud the strike makes and the all too sad site of an injured bird sliding down the glass or falling from the sky afterward. The reason bird strikes happen is simple–the birds cannot see the windows. This is because the reflection of the sky, trees, and clouds, indicate to the bird that the window is an open place for them to fly. So, one way to stop this from bird strikes from happening and prevent the resulting damage to your home or office and birds is to have the right window tinting applied.
How To Prevent Damage From Bird Strikes On Your Denver Home Or Office Windows
While the death of birds from striking a glass window is unfortunate, it can also be bad news for your property as well. Each year bird strikes to windows cost people hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to windows: cracking, shattering and even exploding are all too common. Bird strikes often occur on transparent or highly-mirrored glass window films. Because of this, choosing a window tint with an exterior reflectivity of 10-20% like SolarGard Truevue film, you can have all the energy efficiency benefits but still, a film that makes your window apparent to birds. Other types of films that prevent bird strikes are called “fritted” films and they are specifically engineered to prevent bird strikes by using a texture visible to only birds. If bird strikes on your Denver home or office building are particularly frequent and disruptive, you may want to consider this type of film.
