Precision Safety Films Adds Energy Saving Commercial Window Film to its Inventory

Tampa Window TintTampa-based Precision Safety Films is excited to announce that it has added a highly efficient commercial window film to its line of window film applications.

Commercial window film creates a work environment that is productive and comfortable. This is achieved through the reduction of light glare that can result from unprotected windows. Sunlight that is unfiltered can also cause retinal damage.

Precision Safety Films considers a number of factors when providing customers with a quality product and those are: building cost maintenance, commercial property maintenance, and property margins. The commercial window tint addresses these through energy savings, but it doesn’t stop there.

If office equipment is near an unprotected window, the UV-ray exposure can contribute to equipment degradation and can damage the building fixtures through heat exposure and fading.

What Precision Safety Films is offering is commercial window tint that protects the interior of the property, but it also adds to the appearance of the exterior. The property is given appeal that is much more recognizable and desirable.

The film also comes with benefits that allow it to pay for itself time and time again. It has been shown that the benefits pay for the cost of the film and application in a relatively short period of time. Not only is this because of the energy savings, but it is because of the building preservation it promotes. The preservation of any interior elements that may be directly impacted by sunlight saves money.

Office equipment, carpets, and building fixtures all last longer. These items, which are expensive, do not have to be prematurely replaced when they are properly taken care of. By not having to replace prematurely, office hardware, office furniture, and carpets can fulfill their intended life spans.

For over 10 years, Precision Safety Films, based out of Tampa, Florida, has understood the needs of homeowners and businesses when it comes to windows. This understanding has led to company growth and expansion as it has provided solutions to some of the most common problems. The main problem that has been solved is constant sun exposure while indoors.

There are also many shades available since there is no one-size-fits-all solution. That way, customers can have the look, feel, and level of light that they want. The end result is a window that is much stronger and will stand up to some of the harshest weather conditions. This makes it both functional and attractive.

Save on Energy Costs with Home Window Tinting

These windows have a Western exposure, so the afternoon sun was brutal. We used a film that reduced the heat entering the home by 67% while still letting in plenty of natural light. It also blocked 99% of the UV rays that cause furnishings and artwork to fade. All of these benefits and a Lifetime Warranty!

You spend a lot of time and energy trying to keep your home looking nice. Getting plenty of natural light in your living space is important but too much direct sunlight can cause a wide range of issues. Think about: the sun could shine on your TV, making it difficult to see the screen. The direct sunlight can also fade everything from carpets to hardwood floors to furniture, which could cost thousands to replace! The real icing on the cake though is the added expense in cooling costs. All that sunlight causes your home to heat up, which means you’ll need to crank the AC. Thankfully, home window tinting offers a solution to all of these problems and more.

Your windows play an integral role in heat regulation in your home. Heat loss and heat accumulation through windows actually make up 50% of utility bill costs on average, according to the EPA Energy Star Buildings Manual. What a waste! Even if you’re not an environmentalist, the added expense ought to get your ire up.

Having your windows treated, however, can dramatically lower your heating and cooling bills. It works by preventing heat from the sun from penetrating into your home and affecting the temperature. Hot air stays out and cool air stays, or vice versa.

As we stated earlier, direct sunlight through windows can cause all sorts of damage to your flooring and furnishings. However, once you have residential window tinting installed, you can feel safe hanging a piece of artwork across from a window that gets the afternoon sun. In fact, this tint can block over 99% of UV rays. So, your treasured heirlooms, draperies, and everyday items stay like new and won’t experience any fading or discoloration. Not to mention, you won’t be put in direct sunlight while in your home either, reducing your risk of fine lines, wrinkles, and even skin cancer.

The only solution to this problem previously was to always keep the shades drawn or the blinds closed. However, you don’t have to do that anymore. By offering glare reduction, heat regulation, and UV ray blockage, tint allows you to see your neighborhood and let the sunshine in without all of the negative effects.

You should be comfortable in your own home and you shouldn’t have to pay an arm and a leg to keep up with energy costs. Instead, invest in film for your windows and you’ll see a dramatic drop on monthly expenses and a dramatic increase in your quality of life.

The Benefits of Window Tinting

Window TintingWhen you think about window installation, you might just envision the actual windows. However, the right kind of tinting can make a huge difference in your experience indoors. You see, the right tint or film affects how light is filtered into your home. If too much UV rays are allowed in, it can result in significant damage to your possessions. For instance, UV light can damage hardwood floors and some furniture by bleaching them out. This is a very costly to repair and can be easily prevented with the right film.

Having film tinting installed on your windows can also help you save money on energy costs. It can keep your home much cooler during the summer, so you don’t have to use the air conditioning as much. Quite simply, the glass isn’t as exposed to as much sun, reducing the temperature indoors.

Another thing window tinting can be used for is crime prevention.A high-quality tint makes it harder for criminals to see into your home, making it less likely for them to break the window and steal something. It can also protect against severe weather situations and can protect your home by reducing the likelihood of glass shattering ans flying everywhere. In these cases, you can get them in a clear form if you don’t want any tinting but you still want the safety features. This kind of film can also protect against graffiti so only the film would need to be replaced, not the entire window.

Finally, film tinting can be used to add decoration to windows. If you want to have etched glass or an otherwise less-than-clear window without ponying up the cash for the real thing, an inexpensive tint or film can be used to give you the right looking at a fraction of the price. Seriously, no one will know the difference and you’ll have the decorative look you prefer.

What’s really great about tint and film options for windows is that they open up the world to you. You can dramatically change the look of your home or business without having to spend a lot of cash. You can also increase the safety of the residence and decrease the likelihood of break-ins without having to spend a lot of money. Tints and films give you wider range of options than installing new windows and you can change it up on a whim. You can’t get better than that.
