Can Window Film Reduce Glare?

by Liz Seyi Digital marketing manager

The need to reduce glare is one of the main reasons Window Films are purchased. They can certainly be a much more practical and convenient solution for reducing glare than many of the other common remedies, enabling you to continue using your building or vehicle the same way you otherwise would, without the need to deal with distracting and uncomfortable glare.

However, there are a few things that you will need to bear in mind before you purchase window films with the specific aim of tackling glare.

Is window film strictly needed for glare reduction anyway?

No one likes to be in an office attempting to work on an important assignment on their computer, only to find it impossible to view the screen properly due to the sunlight streaming in from outside. It’s a similar story for many conservatory users, who may find it difficult to have a face-to-face conversation with a friend or relative in their conservatory if glare is excessive.

However, before asking yourself “can window film reduce glare?”, you might be tempted to investigate other potential fixes for the problem.

The installation of blinds or shutters may be possible in a conservatory, for example, but you may also need to constantly fiddle with them over the course of the average day, to ensure the desired level of sunlight continues to come into the interior space.

Reroofing might be another remedy you have considered, especially for a conservatory, although this can be expensive. Other people may resort to wearing sunglasses, but again, it is a far from ideal solution.

Such problems help to show why window films have become so popular as a glare reduction method – and the great news is that you have many different types of window film to choose from.
