Best way to reduce heat from windows

Today’s weather: High 33° / Low 25°

Sunny.

Located near the equator, Singapore’s climate is warm and humid. How many times have we heard Singaporeans complaining about the hot weather?

Outdoors – we cannot do much but just carry an umbrella and wear cooler clothing.

Indoors – we can do much more than just turning on the air conditioning; there are effective ways to achieve heat reduction from windows and improve overall comfort.

To block heat from windows, most people think about blinds, drapes, and curtains first. However, these products have limitations if the main objective is sun control. These products are deceiving because they only reduce natural light in the room, but they capture and radiate solar heat from the glass and expel it into the room. Imagine a blanket covering; heat is trapped inside! Many people thus are paying higher electric bills because of the heat gain and energy loss. Overall, these products only help with glare reduction from sunlight – nothing more than that.

Though the above window treatments are the popular go-to sources for reducing heat from windows, there is an alternative that is affordable, decorative, hygienic, and far more effective for temperature control than blinds or drapes. It is solar window film, also known as window films.

Solar Window Film Deals With Problems At Their Source

Window films can be applied to the interior of your windows easily and quickly. Just by consulting a professional window film dealer like Pacco, you have access to a wide range of window film products that will be installed professionally. Do not worry that the film will bubble or peel over time! Only low-quality films will have that problem, and our films have a warranty of up to 10 years.

Window films have numerous benefits for both heat reduction and comfort. They provide excellent UV protection, blocking up to 99% of UV rays and preventing your furniture, flooring, and fabric from fading. This UV rays blocking feature offers superior furniture protection and fading prevention. Additionally, window films offer glare reduction from sunlight; imagine being able to watch TV without a glare or complete a day’s work without sitting in a hot spot.

Moreover, window films enhance privacy and safety. If the glass were to break, it would not shatter completely but would be held intact by the film. This added layer of security is particularly valuable for both residential and commercial spaces.

Most importantly, window films address our problem that we complain so often – heat. They provide effective sun control and contribute to significant energy savings by reducing cooling costs. The total solar energy rejected by quality window films can lead to a noticeable decrease in your air conditioning expenses.

Window films come in various types, including ceramic tint and reflective films. Some advanced options like sputtered film or metallized tint offer superior heat rejection properties while maintaining optimal visible light transmission. This means you can enjoy natural light without compromising on temperature control.

Rather than spending so much on blinds or curtains that only do half the job, why not choose a final solution like window tinting? With their multifaceted benefits in heat reduction, UV protection, privacy, and energy savings, window films offer a comprehensive solution for managing your indoor climate and enhancing your living or working space.
