Having an energy efficient space isn’t just good for the environment, it benefits your pocketbook too. In 2019, the U.S. spent about $1.2 trillion on energy. That comes down to about $3,728 per person each year.

One of the major factors that determines the energy efficiency of a structure is window performance. Windows that lack insulation, are old or damaged, or face southern sun exposure are major contributors to energy waste.

An excellent option for improving the performance of these windows is to install energy efficient window film. Below, we’ve discussed some of the various energy efficient window film options available today.

How Window Film Improves Energy Efficiency

Window films are a practical and affordable way to improve the performance of existing windows. Instead of replacing a window for a double pane unit, property owners can simply retrofit the unit already in place with an energy efficient window film.

Energy efficient films are designed to keep heat in place. During the summer, they prevent heat from transferring through the porous glass. During winter, they provide insulation needed to keep heat indoors.

In the course of one year, energy efficient window films can save Denver property owners up to 30% on energy costs.

Options for Energy Efficient Window Tint

When choosing a window tinting product, it’s important to think critically about your needs. What are your major concerns? Heat? Glare? Winter weather? These are all vital considerations. Here are some great energy efficient window film options.

  • Spectrally selective: These window films are excellent for summertime energy efficiency. They reject high volumes of heat while still allowing in abundant natural light.
  • Low-E: Low-E window films are great in Denver because they’re a four-season option. They control indoor climates during both the summer and winter.
  • UV blocking: If fading or glare rank among your top concerns, consider a UV blocking window film. UV window tint keeps out up to 99.9% of UV rays and is great for shielding your interior from the sun.
