When choosing the right window film for your space, focus on achieving the right balance of these factors.

Light Control

One of the primary reasons people opt for window film in areas such as Philadelphia and New York is to protect their homes or businesses from sunlight. An appropriate amount of light in an office space can create an enhanced work environment and increase productivity.

Natural light is very important during the day, but too much sunlight or a harsh glare can make it difficult to focus on a computer screen. It is important to find the right balance of sunlight to create the best lighting for the desired room.

Privacy and View

Apart from controlling the amount of light exposure which is also crucial when selecting window covers, finding window film coverings that provide privacy is essential for security. Especially if you live or work in a high-traffic area such as New York you want to know that your privacy and security are being protected from the public. There is a variety of decorative window film that offers privacy, but this may limit how much natural light is in the area.

Style and Decor

If the style of your office or home is more modern, then window treatments with motorized shades or aluminum can create a modern feel to your space. While on the other hand if your style is more traditional wood blinds and shutters may fit your style better. Companies such as CHB Industries take a unique approach to fitting your style and decor with a variety of different color window treatments and one-way mirrors to ensure even more privacy for your desired outcome.

Decorative Window Film

Decorative window films can be more expensive than other window treatments, but they can be completely customized to your desired aesthetics. Decorative window film is also great for providing privacy in a fashionable way. Decorative window film also has many of the same benefits such as blocking out the harsh UV rays of the sun.

Find a Trusted Company to Work With

When hiring a company to install window film it is important to find a company that you can trust. Find a company with a quality experience that you can trust. Things to watch out for are companies that are looking to perform the work quickly to turn a profit faster. However, window treatments take time, and the people performing them need to be experienced.

A window treatment professional should always arrive on time, be friendly, and be informative to answer all your questions promptly. You should always feel comfortable to reach your window treatment professional and receive a professional and informative response.

Temporary or Permanent Film Coverings?

Many companies offer a wide variety of window films from temporary to permanent depending on what your preference is. Most permanent window films will last from anywhere from 10-20 years with proper cleaning and installation. The elements also play a factor in this if you are living somewhere with extreme heat they may deteriorate faster over time. However, if you are living somewhere such as New York or Philadelphia they will be much more resilient to the elements.

If you are someone who likes to change their style more often then a temporary window film may be the correct fit for you. Consult a trusted company to decide what will work best for you. Temporary window films are great for changing seasons and styles. They can be easily removed or changed over time.

Durability and Sustainability

Since window treatments are generally a one-time purchase they should be worth the investment. Doing research into high quality, trusted companies will ensure that these window treatments last. Poor-quality window coverings will need more frequent upkeep and end up costing you more money over time. High-quality window coverings should be able to withstand the elements such as wind, rain, and natural wear and tear.

Budget
