One thing that I loved about my house when we bought it three years ago was the greenhouse in the yard. I knew that it needed a lot of work, but knew that I would eventually get around to making the repairs and would have a wonderful greenhouse to spend my free time in. I had to do some research to find out about replacing the glass panels that had been broken over the years. I wanted to be sure that the glass I was installing wasn't going to stop the sun's nutrients from reaching the plants and that the glass would be durable and last for many years. If you are building or repairing a greenhouse, visit through my blog to learn all about the glass that should be used.

Commercial Window Films Protect Your Building From Temperature Spikes
Vicente Morales
Regardless of whether you're trying to improve the comfort of your customers or you're trying to improve worker productivity, windows can often get in the way of this task. As the sun shines through, HVAC systems may struggle to keep the building comfortable in certain areas. You may have warm areas unless you use commercial window film to reflect the sun's rays to make your building more comfortable.
Don't Forgo Large and Beautiful Windows
With large windows, one of the most common causes of increased cooling bills are the effect that the sun has on your building's temperature. You might think that you're saving money on lighting, but the increased heating bills cut into these benefits. However, you don't want to forgo the ability of customers and employees to look outside at the beautiful surroundings, which can help spark creativity. Fortunately, window films can overcome this problem and also allow your business to enjoy natural lighting.
Window Films Control the Transmission of Light and Heat
Window films are applied to windows and other glass surfaces. They reduce the amount of heat that is transmitted through the glass. They reflect light, stop ultraviolet light and stop heat. As a result, those who are sitting near a window feel more comfortable. If employees often complain about glare, this is reduced as well, which helps improve employee safety.
Window Films Reduce Building Costs
Your HVAC unit also doesn't work as hard to maintain an appropriate temperature. The cost of applying window film will be recouped in a few years due to utility savings. Your business will produce fewer carbon emissions and you may use the installation of window film for LEED credits. LEED is a green building certification that looks great for your company.
Buildings in Colder Climates Also Benefit from Window Films
Even during the winter, window films are beneficial. They increase the insulation of your building. Windows are a common portal through which heat escapes, forcing a furnace to work harder to keep a building heated. Window films help to correct this while also eliminating hot and cold spots.
Use Blinds and Shades Along with Your Window Film
Window films can be used in combination with other window coverings, such as blinds, so employees have more control over how much light shines through. The more control that employees have over their work environment, including the temperature and lighting, the more productive they tend to be.
