If some parts of your building are warmer than others, your windows could be the cause. Sunlight coming through glass can lead to hot spots, glare, and higher cooling bills. The good news is, you don’t always have to replace your windows to fix this. Window film can help you manage both problems successfully.
ClimatePro installed sun-control and anti-glare window film on over 300 panes at the Lake County Courthouse Museum. This historic building gets a lot of sunlight, which causes heat and glare problems for people inside. The main challenge was to reduce the sun’s impact while keeping the museum’s original windows looking the same.
How Window Film Reduces Heat Gain
What are the benefits of sun control window film? Sun control window film blocks much of the sun’s infrared heat before it enters through the glass. This helps keep indoor spaces more comfortable, especially near windows and doors with glass panes.
Many property owners think cooling a building just means turning down the thermostat. But blocking heat from coming in through the windows can make rooms feel cooler without changing the temperature setting. This can lead to more even comfort and less strain on your HVAC system during hot months.
Reducing Glare While Preserving Daylight
Another issue that needed to be solved: The Lake County Courthouse Museum also had problems with excessive glare from direct sunlight. Bright glare can make rooms less comfortable for visitors and staff. Eye strain from strong sunlight makes a room harder to use. Who wants to be in a space you can’t see in?
The anti-glare window film we selected for this project helps soften harsh sunlight without sacrificing natural daylight. The results? A brighter, more comfortable space that maintains the building’s open feel while significantly reducing glare.
