If you converted a spare bedroom to a home office, you may feel like you're isolated from the world while you're working, especially if you need to keep the curtains closed to block the sun. You may want to have solar control window film put on the windows so you can leave the curtains and blinds open instead. Window film is perfect for any room in your home, but it is especially suitable for a home office. Here's why.

1. The Film Blocks Glare

Natural light from the windows can make it difficult to read a computer monitor. You may have to adjust the curtains throughout the day so you can work without the annoyance of glare. Solar window film blocks UV rays so glare is eliminated. You can uncover the windows and enjoy a scenic view without having to worry about seeing a computer monitor or television screen.

2. Solar Film Reduces Hot Spots

If you have your desk near the window, you might be bothered by the heat from the sun during the day. You might have difficulty keeping the temperature in the room constant and comfortable. Solar window film reflects UV rays, so solar heating through the glass is no longer a concern. This not only makes you more comfortable while you're working, but it can also help control your power bills, especially if you add solar film to other windows in your home too.

3. You'll Enjoy More Natural Lighting

Being exposed to bright, natural light all day might lift your mood and keep you from feeling like you're working in a dungeon that's dark and dreary. You can leave the windows uncovered all day to let the light stream in. This improves illumination so you can see better to read and do your work. It can also be relaxing for you to have a nice view from the windows so you can take your mind off work occasionally.

4. You Can Have Your Privacy Too

If your office windows face a sidewalk or street, you might worry about your privacy with the windows uncovered. You can opt for dark-tinted film if that's the case. Solar control window film comes in clear and dark and shades between so you get the amount of privacy you want.

During the day, people outside can't see through the dark tint. Just remember to close your curtains when you turn on the lights after dark so people can't see you at night. Even though people walking on the sidewalk can't see you, you can still see them and keep an eye on what's happening in your neighborhood while you work.
