\n\t\n\tWe all love natural light, but excessive sunlight can flood through untreated windows, quickly rendering those rooms unliveable. Besides the heat, one of the most annoying affects that can happen is glare, which makes reading or using your computer a chore. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to just block out the sun altogether to eliminate glare. There are several great ways you can reduce solar glare while allowing natural light to flood into your home.\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1533063015909{padding-top: 110px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tObstructed Views\t\t<\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Often times, the windows that provide us the best views also create the worst glare. We often hear from clients that the glare created by their large picture frame windows prevents them from enjoying the beautiful views.<\/span><\/p>\n

When glare interferes with your ability to see computer and TV screens, working in your home office can be very frustrating. Modern TVs have incredible screens that increase saturation and contrast, but their glossy finish can amplify glare.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tReading\t\t<\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

When glare is an issue, reading becomes difficult or impossible. Especially true on glossy magazine pages, excessive glare will strain your eyes, potentially causing health problems down the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\n\tIt can take more than one solution to glare prevention to totally reduce its effects, this is because there are more than one type of glare. Disability glare is caused by sunlight reflecting off of whatever it is you are looking at. This type of glare obscures things like text and screens because it is direct.<\/p>\n

Discomfort glare occurs when there is brighter light to the periphery of an object that you are trying to focus on. Although you are able to focus on that object, the bright light entering your eyes from elsewhere makes focusing for long periods of time difficult, and can result in headache and eye strain.\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”25px”]

\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\tUsing Solar Control Window Films on south and west facing windows will greatly reduce direct glare caused by the sun. This type of film filters almost 100% of UVA and UVB light, allows natural light to pass through, and significantly reduces glare. With this type of film installed, you will be able to enjoy any electronic device, in any room, at any time of day, from any angle. Think of it like wearing sunglasses - you aren\u2019t completely blocking out the light, just reducing the amount that comes through so you can be more comfortable and productive.<\/p>\n

If you have issues with glare at home, send us a message or give us a call. We\u2019re always happy to chat about your home, with no obligation to purchase anything.\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1488485282061{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-image: url(http:\/\/sunshadewindowfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/background-lighter.jpg?id=6882) !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We are extremely happy with the service we received from UWT. We run a restaurant & cooking school and the amount of heat in the dining room was unbearable. UWT installed H\u00fcper Optik Fusion film, which reduced the heat so we no longer use curtains, even during the summer months!<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
