New Windows Or Window Film?

Whenever you buy or rent a property it is an investment not just in the property itself but in yourself, your family’s, your pets and your belongings livelihood. One way that your new home can literally be throwing money out of the window is through the windows themselves. Old, outdated windows give little to no resistance to ultraviolet rays and new windows are made, like all things these days with a limited lifespan. So, what is a better investment, changing your windows or installing window film?

Changing your windows can be an expensive and, in Hong Kong with our propensity for high rise buildings, a daunting undertaking. Changing your windows, be it on the ground floor or on the tops at the penthouse can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and can generate more paperwork than you’d think from government departments such as the Buildings Department where permits and permissions can be costly and time consuming.

Moreover, even once you have changed your windows, adding window film to the new products would still be highly recommended, so why not just save the initial step and expense of changing your windows and go straight for the window film itself?

Sun control window film is inexpensive, cost effective, energy, heat and glare reducing and can be installed within hours with no problematic paperwork needed and with extraordinarily little cost. Depending on the type of film you use, heat can be drastically reduced in the home as it blocks the harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays that come through the glass and heat up your home. It also stops fading on your fixtures and fittings, reduces the risks of skin cancer for you, your children and your pets and stops those suns rays from distorting your TV and computer screens making life easier, and more bearable.

The payback on your investment is fast – anything from 1-3 years – and you will immediately see the difference in your energy bills and feel the difference in your internal climate. So, for a faster, more cost effective and more reliable way to ensure energy savings and heat reduction in your home, with windows old or new, don’t replace the glass – just install sun control window film.
