Reduce Glare and Energy Costs with Glass Tint in Philippines

Posted by L.A.Window Films Philippines on June 1st, 2016

Investing in high-quality window films makes sense especially in the Philippines where the sun can be too bright and hot. Too much heat in your establishment could affect the well-being and productivity of your staff and make your customers uncomfortable. Glare from the sun and other reflective surfaces outside obstructs vision and causes discomfort, too. Specially designed glass tint can help reduce glare and prevent too much heat while making sure that you can slash energy costs in the long run.

Glass tint or window film is a self-adhesive polyester applied directly to glass surfaces or windows. It is typically applied to improve the appearance and safety of a home, commercial building, or automobile, but it can be a crucial shield against solar heat, glare, and UV rays. Solar radiation is typically divided into three parts: visible light (the one we can see), infrared (the one we feel as heat), and the ultraviolet light. With glass tint, you can prevent UV rays from entering your establishment and regulate the light and heat levels that goes through the glass.

Dyed or non-reflective glass tint is designed to absorb solar energy, and metalized or reflective films absorb and reflect solar energy. Another type of glass tint is the ceramic or nano film, which uses high-tech properties for optimal performance in glare, UV, and heat reduction. High-quality glass tints decrease heat by rejecting up to 82 percent of solar energy. With reduced heat in your establishment, you can increase your thermostat and reduce your energy and cooling costs. This is because the window film helps make your environment more comfortable and less hot or humid. And since you are operating your AC in a higher setting, you can extend its service life and minimize the need for repairs. You can get the same benefit when you apply high-quality glass tint to your car windows, but this time, you can get improved gas mileage, too.

With minimal glare, you and your employees can improve productivity and work in a more comfortable environment without any distractions. Glare is caused by direct sun, reflection from water and surrounding buildings, cars, and water, and it can be annoying when it disrupts your vision and blinds you. Glass tints may help protect your vision, too. UV light is found to raise a person's risk of eye diseases like cancer, cataracts, and growths in the eye. Too much sun exposure could damage your vision, too. Likewise, it may cause skin conditions like skin cancer.
