Residential Window Film Installation in Lebanon, Ohio
This project involved applying Avery Dennison SP E Lite 70 window film to 43 windows, covering 334 sqft on the first floor of a residence in Lebanon, Ohio. The primary goals were to combat the intense Ohio sun by reducing heat gain and glare, while also protecting interior furnishings from UV ray damage.
Managing Solar Heat Gain
The intense summer sun in Ohio can significantly increase indoor temperatures. This installation utilized Avery Dennison SP E Lite 70, a film designed to reject a substantial portion of solar heat. By reducing the amount of solar energy that enters the home, the film helps maintain a more consistent and comfortable indoor climate, lessening the reliance on air conditioning systems.
Reducing Glare for Comfort
Excessive glare from the sun can be disruptive, making it difficult to comfortably use rooms or view screens. The SP E Lite 70 film was chosen for its ability to cut down on incoming light, thereby reducing distracting glare. This allows residents to enjoy natural light without the discomfort associated with harsh brightness, creating a more pleasant living environment.
Protecting Furnishings from UV Rays
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a primary cause of fading and damage to furniture, flooring, and decor. Window films act as a barrier against these harmful rays. The Avery Dennison SP E Lite 70 film effectively blocks 99% of UV light, preserving the vibrant colors and extending the lifespan of the home's interior contents.
Balancing Light and Protection
A key consideration for this Lebanon homeowner was maintaining natural light while achieving heat and UV protection. The SP E Lite 70 film strikes a balance by significantly reducing heat and glare while allowing a comfortable level of visible light transmission. This ensures the home remains bright and inviting without the negative effects of excessive solar energy. This type of residential window tinting is an effective solution for many Ohio homes.
