Privacy Film Replacing Window Treatments
Interior decorators have long used standard window treatments such as the drapes, blinds, and shutters. All of these solutions have their pros and cons, and they are all still in use today, but more and more interior designers are opting for a different kind of window treatment: privacy film. Also known as window film and home tinting film, this relatively new product has many advantages over standard window treatments that are making it a very popular option.
Cost :-
Let’s face it; most of us are looking for ways to cut costs due to the economic malaise we’ve been stuck in for several years. Knowing that standard window treatments can easily run into the hundreds of dollars per window, it can cost a small fortune to redo the entire house. It’s not unreasonable to suggest a standard American home with 15 to 20 windows and 2 entry way doors could cost a couple thousand dollars to outfit with new treatments. Privacy film costs a lot less.
Let’s just estimate average cost of $30 per window, and that’s really on the high end. You could outfit the same house for about $500. That’s a savings of $1500 or more; money that could be spent on other things are more important than window treatments. And the cost savings don’t end there, either. Privacy film has proven to help reduce energy costs significantly by keeping the house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. You’ll be saving money throughout the year in addition to what you initially saved to treat the windows.
Convenience :-
The convenience of privacy film is something that one normally doesn’t consider until after it’s been in place for several months. Yet to understand the convenience factor, we only need to consider the time spent every morning opening the curtains and shades, and then turning around and closing them all again that night. It may only take a few minutes, but with privacy film there’s no more walking around the house closing up every window before bedtime. Furthermore, since privacy film covers the window completely there are no gaps or cracks in coverage that you find with drapes or shades.
Aesthetics :-
Last is the aesthetic appeal of privacy film. Many people love the look of etched or frosted glass but simply can’t afford it. With privacy film you can choose from a variety of hundreds of patterns which give you everything from etched glass to stained glass to semi translucent colors and patterns. Window film is a wonderful way to make your plain windows beautiful at very low price. And since the film is reusable, you can change it out several times over the course of a year for a continually new and fresh look.
