If you’re having trouble with temperature fluctuations in your home, it’s probable that you’re experiencing issues with your windows. Windows are the number one cause for solar heat gain and loss. When your home absorbs or loses too much heat, it can cause a great deal of discomfort for your family and also lead to high energy costs.
Fortunately, we have a solution to this issue. By retrofitting the windows of your Kansas City home with window film, you can put an end to temperature fluctuations and reduce your monthly utility costs.
Causes of Temperature Fluctuation Indoors
There are a number of issues that can cause your home’s temperature to fluctuate. But by far, the most common is poor window insulation. Windows that lack insulation are prone to absorbing and losing large amounts of heat. During the summer, heat enters your home, causing your hvac system to kick on to cool it down and during the winter, the reverse happens.
The windows that are most often responsible for this type of effect are East and West facing windows since they are in the sun’s direct path. In the morning, windows on the East side heat up and during the evening, West facing windows do the same. During the middle of the day, you may not experience as much discomfort since the sun is overhead. However, these extreme temperature fluctuations can be problematic since they cause your hvac system to work harder.
How Does Window Film Regulate Temperatures?
Window film helps to regulate temperatures by adding insulation to your windows. The insulating barrier of films helps reduce how much heat is able to be transferred through the glass. Heat is blocked out during the summer, and reflected back in during the winter.
And the best part is that unlike blinds, curtains, and other window coverings, window film will not reduce the brightness of your home. Window film uses a special type of technology that allows it to be selective about what types of light it allows to transmit through the film. Heat is blocked while visible light is allowed to pass through, keeping your home bright and beautiful.
