With modern commercial designs, the emphasis on being sleek and open continues to grow. Large windows make office buildings look substantial and expensive, while retail shops benefit from allowing passers-by to see their products clearly. However, large windows do not always allow a comfortable environment for workers. How do you balance aesthetics with the well-being of your employees? Tint World’s commercial solar window film is an excellent first step when exploring window tint options, offering both aesthetic appeal and employee well-being.
How employees benefit from window tint installation
There are many benefits to a business from security to aesthetics when it comes to choosing a window tint. However, its biggest value has to be the improved working environment for employees. Let’s explore some of the commercial window tinting benefits for your large windows.
- Decrease glare: Glare coming through uncovered windows can cause issues on a couple of levels. Employees often work on computers and glare makes their screens difficult to see and could even damage their eyes. Also, direct glare from a window can disturb both employees and customers by causing eyestrain and discomfort when it’s unavoidable. Applying window tint glare reduction will protect the eyes of both employees and customers, which will make workers more productive and visitors more comfortable.
- Provide sun protection by blocking dangerous UVA and UVB rays. While sunshine is good for the soul, sunrays aren’t always good for the skin. Many commercial window film products provide added UVA and UVB protection when applied to even the most sun-exposed windows, offering exceptional durability and energy efficiency to enhance overall building performance. This quality protects the people inside from many of the harmful effects of overexposure.
- Allow natural light into the building. Workers spend the better part of everyday inside their place of employment, which limits their exposure to natural light. Studies have shown that spending too much time in the dark can negatively affect one’s health, not to mention mood. In fact, a 2014 study by the National Institutes of Health showed a positive impact of windows and daylight exposure on workers’ overall health and sleep quality. Allowing exposure to natural light, while still providing protection from harmful rays, may also improve their mental well-being, the study says. Applying a window film to office exterior windows offers business the best of both worlds – more exposure to daylight to provide health benefits to employees, while at the same time protecting them from harmful radiation from the sun.
- Prevent heat gain and hotspots. Tint reduces the heat absorbed by glass, ensuring the space doesn’t overheat while still providing unobstructed views with the help of heat-reducing window film. This is important to maintaining a comfortable environment for your office. While sometimes the sun’s rays feel comfortably warm, they can quickly turn a room into a sauna. Getting rid of hot spots and unwanted heating makes workers more comfortable, which increases productivity.
Improving overall employee productivity
Ultimately, working in a comfortable office environment or storefront factors directly into your team’s productivity. Using window tint that allows in the daylight they need while protecting them from the harsh glare, harmful rays and unwanted heat often created by a wall of windows is a win for everyone. Your business is able to take advantage of modern office design while keeping your employees happy in the environment.
