Benefits of Window Film
Opting for safety window film has a number of advantages that will make you take pride in your decision.
- Anti-graffiti film enhances the safety of your home and vehicle and strengthens the window glass to help it withstand pressure. Hence if burglars try to break-in the glass window will not give in easily. This is a great way to protect your home and car against vandalism.
- Anti-graffiti film like its name suggests forms a protective layer on the glass. This ensures safety against scratches or scribbles, which is a great help when you have little children around the place.
- This biggest advantage of safety film is that it protects you from harmful UV rays. UV rays are known to cause skin cancer and early ageing. Continuous exposure to the sun whether directly or through a clear glass is damaging to your skin. Window tinting film comes in a variety of colours ranging from clear to dark. Even clear safety film filters out UV rays, keeping you safe.
- Window films also offer safety from the harsh heat. The car or your home could get heated up even when the air conditioner is on. Film keeps out the heat and glare without making the room or car dark and gloomy. This helps minimize your dependence on the air-conditioner/heaters/ lights and save on your electricity bill.
- Tinting also helps prevent the upholstery and furnishings from fading. Continual exposure to sun rays is something that causes fading and wearing out of the sofa cloth. When the window film filters out the sun rays it also helps extend the life of your furniture or car furnishings.
