When you live in a place nicknamed “The Valley of the Sun,” you can expect warm temperatures year round. Even in winter, it’s not uncommon for highs to hang in the mid 80’s. And summers, well, you know how summers are here. They’re long, dry, and brutally hot.
If you’re like most Arizonans and are sick and tired of dealing with the heat, we’ve got a solution you’re going to love. By installing solar control window film for your Phoenix home or commercial property, you can escape the heat and stay cool and comfortable all year long.
How Does Window Film Block Heat?
If you’ve never heard of solar control window film before, you probably have some questions about how it works. Here’s the basics:
- The film is installed directly on the glass portion of the window.
- Once in place, the film prevents the glass from heating up and transferring into the building.
- The film acts like a filter, blocking out infrared light which causes heat along with uv rays that cause fading.
- Visible light is allowed to pass through the film. This allows the room to stay bright and full of natural light.
- Air conditioning run times are shorter because less heat is absorbed into the building.
