In a perfect world, every home would be energy efficient. Having an energy efficient home is beneficial for the environment and can also help your family save money and stay comfortable indoors. Unfortunately, not all homes are designed with energy efficiency as a priority. If a home lacks insulation and efficiency qualities, the owner will likely find themselves spending a good portion of their paycheck on utility bills.

That’s where energy saving window film for your Salt Lake City home can help. Below, we’ve provided some information about energy saving films as well as answers to some frequently asked questions.

 

Understanding How Energy Saving Films Work

If you’ve never heard of residential window films before, you may be curious how they work. While the concept is similar to car window tinting, residential window films are slightly different because they do not exhibit the same dark appearance. Instead, these window films rely on materials like precious metals, ceramic particles, and low-e technology to reduce heat, glare, and UV rays. This allows them to block harsh light and unwanted heat without making the interior of your home dark.
