When it comes to investing in your residential or commercial property, it’s always important to do your due diligence in terms of research. Anything you purchase to improve your property can have benefits and risks. For property owners looking for money-saving solutions or options that heighten functionality, there are many different options to choose from. Window film has become a popular option due to its affordability, wide scope of benefits, and easy installation. When it comes to this product, however, one of our most frequently asked questions is– does window film kill houseplants in Orange County properties?
The Benefits of Window Film for Your Orange County’s Property’s Houseplants
Since UV protection and solar control films all block up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays, this can be a valid concern for property owners with houseplants. While window film does block UV radiation, it does not block the red and blue light required for plants to grow. Window film installation can actually be beneficial for houseplants, especially varieties that require lower light needs. By rejecting solar heat gain, excessive heat buildup in windows is mitigated. This in addition to stabilizing interior temperatures can provide a better environment for your plants. Overexposure to UV radiation can sometimes hurt your plants as well– this provides another benefit. If you have houseplants that require bright light, opting for a neutral or optically-clear film can be a better option. You can always move your plants to lower light areas beforehand to test how they’ll do with darker tinted options. Some houseplants will also need a few days to acclimate to new lighting conditions post-installation.
