Springtime: Things are Heating Up in Toronto

Well, it is spring time in Toronto, and the weather is finally starting to warm up after what seemed like a long winter! This is the time of year when we start to get a lot of calls from home and business owners about uncomfortable heat buildup in certain parts of their homes, offices, stores and the like.

Windows are great for letting in natural light and offering a sense of space and freedom for those who are indoors. Unfortunately, some windows, because of their location, tend to create 'hot spots' from the sun's radiant energy heating up that space right inside the window. Even with air conditioning, these hot spots make it difficult to balance interior temperatures. We have all experienced this either at home or in the workplace, one room or area is never cool enough and in an effort to make it more comfortable other spots become too cold.

Solar Control window film offers a solution to this imbalance. By filtering sunlight, blocking, absorbing or reflecting infrared light that heats the air, solar films are able to help balance interior temperatures, thereby increasing the comfort level for occupants throughout the building, reducing the need for air conditioning which is good for the environment and saves you money!

Our customers appreciate the benefits of installing solar control window film. Here is what one condo owner had to say.

Windows in both bedrooms generated so much heat, even in the winter, we were required to leave windows open or have fans running to move hot air around. This a.m. was our first morning with the sun shining. The rooms are now much better. Our sunroom has always been a pressure-cooker. So far we are finding it quite comfortable. and, as I said, actually sat in the sunroom and read the paper all morning - it was very pleasant.

This customer had been unable to enjoy their sunroom on sunny days, even in the winter. When you install solar control window films, you take back rooms in your home that may otherwise have been too uncomfortable to fully utilize--it's almost like making your home bigger!
