Glass is a notorious energy-wasting material in buildings. Older homes and buildings that have single-pane glass windows offer very little insulation. But newer buildings have begun to make use of double-pane windows which perform far better than their single-pane counterparts. They actually reduce the loss of heat in the winter months and they mitigate the sweltering summer heat. Insulated glass windows are the only way to turn your windows into energy efficient installations.
Single-pane glass windows with window coverings help with insulation.
Custom-made window treatments such as blinds, shutters, curtains and solar screens can provide some insulation throughout the year and give an amount of control of the light entering the space. These treatments are costly though and while they offer some insulation and coverage, they can become out-dated quite quickly. What’s more, if you decide to move offices due to expansion or the like you may find them difficult to move and re-fit to the windows in your new offices. You could find yourself once again trying to find a way to ensure you have insulated glass windows in your new office space.
The best treatment to create insulated glass windows is frosted decals.
Frosted window film has the ability to turn normal glass into an eco-friendly alternative and help to make your work environment a green space. It will create insulated glass windows in your office space that keep your interior cool in summer and warm in the colder months. It protects your furniture and everyone in the space against harmful UV rays from the sun but still allows for 93% of the natural to stream into the interior and illuminate the space.
Window Art can offer you custom-designed window film to suit your needs and offer you the insulation you require.
By using frosted window film in your office space you are able to have the decals custom-designed to suit your company’s branding and décor needs. Because the decals offer insulation properties and allow for natural lighting to be optimised, you will save on your electricity bill each month too.
