The elevation in Denver, Colorado is 5280 feet above sea level. When combined with over 300 days of sun things can really heat up fast. Installing Solar Control Window Film to the glass in your home or office can significantly reduce the inside temperature.

The risk of developing skin cancer in the Rocky Mountain region is also a concern. In fact, 21.9 of every 100,000 people in Colorado are diagnosed with skin cancer each year.

Most of us are familiar with traditional ways to beat the heat. Staying inside an air conditioned home or office helps, as does proper hydration. Wearing and reapplying sun block at regular intervals and after swimming or heavy sweating is also recommended. What you may not realize though is that there’s more you can do to be more comfortable and better protected from the harsh effects of the sun.

Regulating the temperature in various rooms in a structure can be a challenge. Certain aspects of a building, for instance the southern side of a building heat up faster and at an uneven rate compared to other aspects like the northern side. Traditional air conditioning units struggle to keep pace, but in doing so, they create problem areas where one side of a building gets too hot, while on the other side occupants complain that they are too cold. The harder an AC unit works the more wear and tear it incurs and the more expensive utility costs become.

Here’s where Solar Control Window Film can help! Solar Control Window Film is a thin sheet if polyester laminate that acts as a barrier to the sun. One side of the film has a scratch-resistant coating, while the other contains an adhesive to help it adhere to the glass. These films, also known as Architectural films help reduce the passage of heat through the glass and they improve the insulating quality of existing windows.

Solar Control Window Films come in a variety of darkness levels ranging from water-clear to darker, more reflective versions. They’re available in warm earth tones, bronzes and even lightly tinted blues and greens. Choosing the film that’s right for you isn’t difficult, but you might prefer having one of the professionals at A Solar Solution Window Tinting & Films of Denver ( ASSI) help with the selection.
