Whether we like it or not, it is Back to School season and Summer is coming to an end. Now is the best time to begin considering home improvements to make your house more energy efficient before the cooler temperatures arrive. One of the best ways to improve energy efficiency is by making your window openings perform better. This is particularly true with older homes that often have single pane or older double pane construction. We came across a great article in Times Square Chronicles that discusses some ways to make your older windows more energy efficient.
While the article discusses several ways to improve the energy efficiency of your windows, they specifically mention the benefits of using home window films as well. The article states that:
“Window film is an energy efficient layer that can be added to windows, improving how you heat and cool your home. There are solar film options that block ultraviolet rays so it can not just help with heating and cooling issues, but also protect your rugs and furnishings against sun damage.”
Some of the window film products we offer can help reject heat in the Summer, which saves on cooling costs, and retain heat in the Winter to help save on heating costs. Not only will this make your home more comfortable year round, but you may be able to maintain it that way at a lower cost in utilities.
