Sustainability is more than just a trend—it’s a vital approach to preserving our planet for future generations. As both businesses and homeowners look for ways to reduce their environmental footprint, Decorative Films offers a range of innovative window films that not only enhance your space but also contribute to sustainability. From reducing energy consumption to improving wildlife safety, our window films provide an eco-friendly solution tailored to various needs. Here’s how our specific product offerings can help you embrace sustainability in your space.
Energy Efficiency with Solar Control Films
One of the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency is by controlling the amount of heat that enters and exits your building. Our Solar Control Window Films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, reduce heat gain in the summer, and retain warmth in the winter. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced reliance on heating and air conditioning systems—cutting down on both energy bills and your carbon footprint.
For homes or businesses in particularly sunny regions, our Ultracool-S1560 Silver 15 Film provides an excellent barrier against solar heat, making it a smart, sustainable investment.
Preserving Interior Furnishings with UV Protection
UV rays don’t just heat up your space; they also cause significant damage to your interior furnishings, including furniture, flooring, and artwork. Our UV Blocking Films shield your valuables from fading and deterioration, prolonging their lifespan and reducing the need for costly replacements. By extending the life of your interiors, you reduce the consumption of new materials—supporting a waste-reduction economy.
Consider our Ultracool-IR8360 IR and UV Blocking Solar Film for maximum UV protection without sacrificing visibility, ensuring that your space remains bright, comfortable, and protected.
Creating Comfortable, Productive Spaces with Glare Reduction
Sustainability isn’t just about protecting the planet—it’s also about enhancing human well-being. By reducing glare and regulating indoor temperatures, our Anti-Glare Films create a more comfortable and productive environment, especially in office settings. This can lead to higher productivity and lower stress, contributing to a more sustainable, health-conscious workspace.
For offices or rooms with large windows, our Ultraglare Glare Reduction Films offer glare reduction while still allowing natural light to filter through.
Bird Safety Solutions for Wildlife Protection
Bird-window collisions are a serious environmental issue, with millions of birds dying each year after flying into glass surfaces. To combat this, Decorative Films offers a range of Bird Safety Films specifically designed to make glass more visible to birds, preventing these tragic accidents.
What sets our bird safety solutions apart is that all of our Bird Safety Films have been rigorously tested and approved by the American Bird Conservancy, ensuring they meet the highest standards of effectiveness. These films not only protect local wildlife but also support broader sustainability and conservation efforts by helping maintain bird populations in urban and residential areas.
With products like our SX-BSFH Bird Safety Film – Horizontal, you can create a safer environment for birds while still enjoying the aesthetic and functional benefits of clear glass. It’s a simple, eco-conscious upgrade that aligns with your commitment to wildlife protection and sustainability.
Solar Control for Large Commercial Spaces
For businesses, reducing energy consumption can be a major step toward sustainability. Our commercial-grade Solar Control Films help companies lower their carbon footprint and cut down on operational costs by regulating indoor temperatures. They also assist in achieving green building certifications like LEED, making them ideal for businesses looking to meet sustainability benchmarks.
UltraCool-S20-OSW Outside Weatherable Heat Rejection Film is a top choice for commercial buildings, offering high solar reflectivity and heat reduction, perfect for cutting down on energy usage at scale.
Mitigating Light Pollution
Light pollution is a significant environmental issue, especially in coastal areas where artificial lighting can have harmful effects on local wildlife. In Florida, sea turtles are particularly vulnerable, as bright lights can disorient hatchlings, leading them away from the ocean and threatening their survival. To address this, Florida’s Sea Turtle Protection Statute (Statute 161.163) requires beachfront properties to manage their lighting to protect nesting sea turtles.
Decorative Films’ SX-STPF-35 Sea Turtle Protection Film is a premium-grade ceramic tint specifically designed to exceed the requirements of Florida’s lighting ordinance. This innovative film not only helps prevent harmful light pollution by reducing the amount of visible light that reaches the beach, but it also offers additional benefits by blocking 62% of solar energy. With its spectrally selective IR-blocking properties, this film improves energy efficiency while helping property owners contribute to vital sea turtle conservation efforts.
