It is April, and spring has sprung; so to speak... Okay, it isn't exactly a nice day today in Toronto, it is cold and rainy, but to residents of the GTA we've been told since we were kids that 'April showers bring May flowers' so spirits are on the rise...
This is the time that Toronto home and business owners should think about the warm days ahead and how as the sun's rays intensify in terms of solar heat and uv rays and how that will effect the comfort of their homes, stores and offices.
Apex Window Films has been installing solar control films in GTA homes and commercial buildings for years. Our customers know that installing solar film helps reduce interior heat and glare, reducing hot spots in windows, balancing interior temperatures throughout buildings, and reducing air conditioning loads.
The benefits of solar film can be felt throughout the year in terms of comfort and reduced glare to make watching television or using the computer easier. In the winter and early spring things the lack of foliage on trees can mean more direct sunlight in windows that might be shaded in the summer.
Solar control window films also block ultraviolet rays, or UV. This protects people from the damaging (and cumulative) effect UV rays have on the skin as well as protecting interiors from fading.
The energy saving benefits of solar control films are never more appreciated than in those 'dog days' of summer when intense temperatures cause unprotected buildings to have to run air conditioning units on overtime.
Why install window film now? We can tell you from experience, people start thinking about protection when things heat up... we field so many calls for solar film when Toronto temperatures rise it makes it difficult to keep up. Install solar film now before the summer heat makes your rooms uncomfortable and beat the rush. You'll notice the benefits right away and save money on air conditioning costs throughout the late spring and summer.
