Window Film for Office Building's in Colorado

Keeping your office staff happy and comfortable is a key element in any successful business. Window Tint in your Commercial Office Building in Colorado can do just that! American workers spend a majority of daylight hours at work. In many cases, we have come to think of it as our “home away from home”.  The biggest difference between your home and your office is you have control over the thermostat at home. Whereas at work, you probably don’t! Office temperatures being too hot or too cold,  can greatly affect the quality of the work your staff produces.  All American Window Tinting in Colorado offers window film solutions for your Commercial office building that help keep the heat in during the colder months and heat out during the warmer months. Helping keep your work environment comfortable year round!
Window film and window tint technology are not the same as it was 20 or so years ago. In the past dark colors were added to window films to help absorb heat and damaging UV rays. Sometimes metals were added to the window tints to reflect heat and harmful UV rays. That meant if you wanted to reduce heat in your building you would lose natural light from the windows. This was counterproductive because the answer was to add more interior lighting. Which in turn created more heating issues because light bulbs generate heat.  With advanced technologies window film manufacturers now use absorbing metals and materials that have reflectors we cannot see. These advanced technologies will help reduce the amount of natural light that is lost when window tint is applied.
Did you know natural light and artificial lighting has a significant impact on our moods throughout the day (WebMD)? This detail is especially important in large office buildings where people work in very close proximity to each other.  Natural lighting through windows is said to have a very calming and peaceful effect on our moods and emotions.
Even increasing alertness and metabolism. Whereas lack of light (dark windows) and even poor artificial lighting can trigger depression, eyestrain and in some cases migraines. Spectrally Select Window films will reduce and/or retain the temperatures in an office building with little effect on the natural light that enters a space.  Help keep your office staff upbeat and on task with window tint on the windows in your office in Colorado.
Everyone wants the office with the large windows or the desk next to the large windows. In fact, the newest trend in energy efficiency is large windows that allow natural light into a space. Large windows help eliminate the need for a lot of artificial lighting which can help with energy savings. Typical office windows block most UVB rays. Which is why normally you won’t get a sunburn while sitting at your desk.  What about UVA rays? Typical Clear glass only blocks a small portion of UVA rays through, so even if you don’t feel you are getting sunburned, your skin may still become damaged (American Cancer Society). UVA rays are the most intense because they penetrate deep into the skin's thickest layer. This can lead to premature aging, wrinkling, and even skin Cancer. So while the natural sunlight may brighten your mood,  UVA rays are damaging your skin and possibly even suppressing your immune system.  Window film on the windows in your office will reduce at least 99% of UVA and UVB rays. Helping eliminate the risks of Skin Cancer, premature aging and in some cases even depression!
Another potential problem with the coveted window seat is Glare. Too much glare on your computer screen can cause issues with workflow. Some may think blinds is the only answer. Since we have already determined that sunlight can affect your mood. Closing yourself in with blinds can make for a long, unhappy day.

Window Tint is Sunscreen for your Windows!

Window Tint on your car, home and office windows has many more benefits than just reducing heat and glare and providing privacy. Think of Window tint as a sunscreen for your windows. In the Winter month’s most people don’t think about sunscreen but you should. It's cold, it's snowy and you don't think the sun is causing much damage.
 In Colorado, we get over 300 days of sunshine a year. So even though it is chilly outside, the sun is still shining brightly. If you stand in the right spot you can actually feel the warmth from the sun. We get the best of both worlds but we also have a bit more to worry about because we get so much sunshine and we have a higher altitude.
In high altitudes and in winter months, the sun's UV rays are actually increased. Exposure is increased because of the decreased atmosphere and because the sun’s UV rays reflect and/or bounce off the snow and back at you.  That means those damaging UV rays actually hit you twice! Double Whammy, Snow Burn! Rays account for up to 95 percent of UV rays that reach the Earth’s surface, they penetrate deeper into skin, cause wrinkles, and are the culprit for melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer. When elevation increases so do the sun's strength. The thinner atmosphere absorbs fewer UV rays, allowing them to pass through to the Earth much easier and with much more power, this greatly increases the risk of exposure. When living or vacationing in high altitudes, it is extremely important that you take extra precautions to protect yourself from the sun's harmful UV rays. UVA 
Many places have an abundance of snow in the Winter months. When the sun's UVA rays bounce off the snow it creates an effect similar to being at the beach. These rays can be very intense and act the same throughout the year penetrating clouds and yes, even glass. Even just a few minutes of sun exposure during the day can wreak havoc. Not only on your skin but on the Interiors of your Home, Office, and Car. Over time those minutes add up and can cause noticeable changes to the skin, such as freckles, age spots, spider veins on the face, blotchy complexion, and fine wrinkles. Also causing cracking to car interiors and fading on floors and furniture. From repeated exposure to the sun's harmful rays, this photo aging process is inevitable and the only way to prevent it is by shielding yourself from the sun. Use a stronger sunblock during the winter months and in higher altitude and apply a window tint on your car, home, and office windows.
The most neglected area of exposure to the sun is glass! Many people feel that their glass alone is enough protection from the sun's harmful rays. This is absolutely WRONG!. Glass can actually magnify the effects of the sun most notably called the greenhouse effect. It can make a home, office and car interior even hotter. The UV rays are still permeating inside and are coming in contact with you and the things you love most. Protect yourself from the damaging rays of the sun with window film applications on your home, office or vehicle. Window film can block up to 99% of UV rays!
