It’s easy for offices to absorb heat. Hundreds, if not thousands, of square feet of glass line office exteriors, all of which heats up very quickly in the sun. During the summer, these high rises can turn into literal ovens and retain huge volumes of heat.
And a hot office is good for no one. It costs the business tons of money in air conditioning expenses. And employees become irritable and drained of energy. It’s truly a financially cumbersome ordeal.
If you’re looking for a way to cut energy costs this summer, window film may be an option that you want to consider. Studies show that the savings are so significant that window film investments can pay for themselves in just three to five years.
How Does Window Film Work?
When most people hear the term window film, they think of the thin, dark sheets of film that go on their car’s windshield. While this is indeed one type of window film, it’s not the only one. There are many different types of glass laminates, and most of them don’t go on cars at all.
In fact, one of the most common reasons people purchase window film is to control the climate of a building. Window film contains itty bitty pieces of metal and ceramic that allow it to cast off heat. Light comes in, but heat stays out.
Estimating Savings from Window Tint
No two commercial buildings are exactly the same. Even if they’re designed in the same style, they’re still in two different locations. And size, structural components, and location all play a role in how much heat a building absorbs.
For this reason, some people may save more with window film than others. However, the potential to save is truly remarkable. Some businesses save 30% on their energy bill each year. For a multi-story property, that’s thousands of dollars. Furthermore, the average ROI is just three to five years. So even if you’re saving less than average, you’ll still get your money back in a very reasonable time.
