The Eclipse And Window Tinting For Your Fort Collins Home
Did you hear about that little thing called the “Great American Eclipse”? Unless you are living in a hole you probably did, so like the rest of us in Fort Collins that is pretty much all you heard about for most of the month of August. As the moon crossed the sun most of us thought that the day would become night and we would be shadowed in darkness so most of us took the time to watch it–The eclipse was, after all, a once in a lifetime event and therefore was something not to be missed out on. But if you were like us, you were probably slightly disappointed with the actual events that transpired. Instead of being plunged into darkness, the sky simply became a little hazy and gray. And while it didn’t produce quite the spectacle that many of us expected, for us, at Green Light Window Film, it was a reminder of the effects of window film on one’s home.
How Was the Eclipse Like Window Film?
You see, much like the eclipse, many customers expect window film to produce a different effect than it actually does. They are concerned that window film will completely black out their home and make it unpleasantly dark inside. But similar to the eclipse, window film actually doesn’t change the brightness inside your home. This is because window film is spectrally selective so it only blocks out certain frequencies of light. Uv rays and infrared heat are blocked while visible light passes freely through the filmmaking your home just as bright but glare-free and safe from harmful rays.
