Chips and cracks on exterior glass are extremely common. These damages can be caused in a variety of ways. Sometimes birds accidentally strike glass, mistaking the reflections in the glass for actual foliage or sky. Other times, windows break down as a result of exposure to harsh weather. A storm with strong winds can sweep up objects and carry them into a building. Moisture can also cause components of a window to degrade.
When chips or cracks occur, windows lose their ability to provide proper insulation. Heat makes its way through the glass, causing the interior to become too hot or too cold. Additionally, exterior damage can also ruin the appearance of a building. It makes it look older than its age, unkempt, and unprofessional.
One of the easiest and most affordable ways to repair exterior glass is with window film. Exterior resurfacing can be easily accomplished with window film without impeding business activities or operations. It’s a much more affordable alternative to window replacement, and it can save tons of money on heating and cooling costs.
Advantages of Exterior Window Film
Window films are created from thick sheets of polyester that contain tiny fragments of ceramic and metal that allow them to control heat and light transmission. While most window films are installed on the inside of glass, some are installed on the exterior. There can be many benefits to using an exterior window film such as:
Easy installation – Exterior films are easier to install on hard to reach places
Solar control – Exterior films prevent heat from ever coming into contact with glass, making them highly energy efficient
Aesthetics- Exterior films conceal blemishes and abrasions on the outside of a building, making it look newer
Creating a Custom Look with Exterior Window Film
Another major benefit of installing exterior window film for your office or commercial building is the ability to customize your exterior. With exterior window film, you can alter the look of your building to give it a fresh, updated appearance. Opt for a reflective film to create a sophisticated, professional look. Or go bold with a colorful graphics film or patterned film to make your building stand out, the choice is up to you!
