It also stops a potential school shooter from entering the building and prevents glass fragments from exploding into the building hurting or potential killing staff and students. It also gives students and staff more time to get to safety and to call for help. It is also an added layer of security after hours when schools are prone for robbery or vandalism.

The Best Window Film to Reduce Heat on Windows

By Blog, Window Tinting No Comments

It gets hot in OKC; I mean, it gets hot in the summer! When this happens, you can literally feel the heat radiating through those windows and glass doors in your Oklahoma City home or business. Because of this heat, our A/C units have to work overtime. Solar film/heat-reducing film installed on those windows and doors can help significantly reduce the heat coming through therefore helping you feel more comfortable and helping out those A/C units.

Areas for Heat Blocking Window Film

Any south and west-facing windows will get more sun than the other windows and doors in your home or office. These windows will get hotter and transfer this heat inside. Heat-reducing window film stops the transfer and keeps these spaces cooler.
Windows in your office are usually small, and when heat comes through, there is usually no escape. This will cause employees to be less productive and makes for a very uncomfortable workspace. This is why heat-reducing window film is a must for any office! It is also very affordable and will pay for itself within 2-3 years with the savings you will have in your utility bills.
Any windows near TVs, computers or any other electronics are also a great place to install the solar film. The film will help to extend the life of any of your home or office electronics.
