Glare Reduction

Anti-glare window film by 3M is useful in homes and businesses with a lot of natural light. Glare is caused by direct sunlight or light reflecting off an object, so buildings with more windows are more prone to glare. Glare makes looking at a computer screen or watching TV in a bright room difficult. Not only is glare annoying, but it can also cause eye strain, discomfort, impaired vision, and headaches.

Shades, blinds, and other window treatments offer some glare protection but typically obstruct light or views. Anti-reflective window film is an alternative to window treatments that still lets natural light in and maintains your view while significantly reducing glare.

However, not all window films are created equally. Some may promise to work during the brightest part of the day but fall short. Finding the best non-reflective window film can be challenging. That’s why we’re here. WAO Garage specializes in anti-glare window film for both residential and commercial buildings.

How Does Anti-Glare Window Film Work?

Anti-glare window film is typically made of hundreds of layers of thin material. The layers control the light, letting some wavelengths pass through and reflecting others. High-quality films are designed to perform best as the sun’s angle increases, as that’s when glare is the worst.

If you aren’t sure if it’s worth the investment, anti-glare window film isn’t just beneficial for reducing glare. There are a bunch of other advantages as well.

Anti-Glare Window Film Benefits

Minimizes Glare

Glare reduction is the main benefit of anti-reflective window film. Anti-reflective window film can reduce glare by as much as 95%, allowing you to enjoy all the sunny spots in your home or office without ruining the view. You won’t have to worry as much about eye strain while reading or looking at a screen during the daytime.

Blocks UV Rays

Anti-glare window film also blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays. UV rays can cause colors to fade, ruining furnishings, flooring, upholstery, artwork, and more. Window tint blocks those rays along with the sun’s heat to keep your home looking like new.

Visually Appealing

Window film that reduces glare can also be visually appealing. There are many different colors and opacities available so you can find the perfect match for you. The film can add an extra design element to the exterior of a home or commercial building or leave the appearance of the windows unchanged.

Energy Efficient

Even if conserving energy isn’t the primary purpose of anti-glare window films, it still can lower consumption. By rejecting heat that’s typically transferred through the windows, you can reduce your utility bills and save money. Window film installation is an investment that will eventually end up paying for itself through energy savings.
