The Benefits of Window Film in Fall and Winter
The Benefits of Window Film in Fall and Winter
Stay Warm, Save Energy, and Protect Your Home with 3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film, a unique solution that adapts to temperature changes, reflecting heat into the room in winter and rejecting solar heat in summer.
According to the Department of Energy, windows are among the primary sources of heat loss in winter.
As temperatures drop and days grow shorter, fall and winter bring new challenges for keeping homes and businesses comfortable and energy-efficient. Drafty windows, rising heating costs, and glare from low-angled sunlight can all affect your comfort and your wallet.
That’s why now is the perfect time to consider installing window film, specifically, 3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film. This innovative technology offers year-round benefits, but it’s especially valuable during the colder months when you want to keep warm air in, cold air out, and your energy costs under control.
1. Improve Energy Efficiency and Indoor Comfort
Windows are a significant source of heat loss in any building. Even well-sealed double-pane glass allows thermal transfer, causing your furnace to work overtime to maintain a consistent temperature.
3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film adds an insulating layer to your existing windows, reducing heat loss and improving thermal performance. Reflecting interior heat into the room helps keep your home or business warmer and more comfortable.
The Result?
Less heat escaping through your windows
Reduced energy consumption
Lower heating bills
A more consistent indoor climate throughout your space
Property owners in Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, and Brooks have reported immediate comfort improvements after installation, especially in rooms that previously felt drafty or difficult to heat. Don't wait, experience these benefits for yourself!
2. Block Harmful UV Rays All Year
While UV exposure is often associated with summer, up to 60% of harmful ultraviolet rays can still pass through untreated glass even in winter. Over time, these rays fade furniture, flooring, artwork, and window coverings.
3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film provides year-round UV protection, preserving the beauty and lifespan of your interiors. This invisible shield protects your investment while still allowing natural light to brighten your space.
Did you know? 3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film blocks 99.9% of UV rays.
That equates to an SPF factor of 1,000.
3. Reduce Glare and Enhance Privacy
The lower sun angles in fall and winter can create harsh glare, particularly in the morning and late afternoon. Glare on computer screens, TVs, or workstations can make your space uncomfortable and strain your eyes.
Window film helps control glare without darkening your windows or sacrificing visibility. Specific film options also provide enhanced daytime privacy, letting you enjoy natural light while maintaining a sense of seclusion; ideal for offices, storefronts, and street-facing homes.
4. Strengthen Glass and Boost Safety
Cold snaps, windstorms, and freezing rain can stress window glass. In the event of impact or temperature-related cracking, 3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film helps hold shattered pieces together, reducing the risk of injury and preventing damage from spreading.
This added durability gives you peace of mind during Alberta’s unpredictable winter weather and adds a valuable layer of safety to your property. With 3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film, you can feel secure knowing that your windows are reinforced and your property is protected.
5. Environmentally Responsible and Cost-Effective
Installing energy-saving window film is an environmentally responsible step. By reducing the amount of energy needed to heat your space, you’re effectively lowering your carbon footprint. This environmental consciousness will make you feel good about your choice of 3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film.
Window film installation is a simple, cost-effective alternative to complete window replacement, delivering comparable insulation benefits at a fraction of the cost and disruption.
6. Why Choose 3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film?
Unlike ordinary window films that primarily perform in one season, 3M™ All-Season Low-E Window Film adapts to temperature changes. In winter, it reflects heat into the room to keep you warm; in summer, it helps reject solar heat to keep you cool.
It’s designed for clarity, longevity, and performance, with a durable, low-maintenance finish that won’t peel, bubble, or discolour. And because it’s made by 3M™, a global leader in window film innovation, you can trust that it’s engineered to perform and backed by a strong manufacturer’s warranty.
