Whether you’re a front desk receptionist or the CEO in the corner office with floor to ceiling windows, you’ve experienced the discomfort of glare. This glare is cast across computer screens and across the window itself, decreasing screen visibility and inhibiting your view. At Solar Film, many of our clients approach us to help with this problem. In this article, we’ll look specifically at how glare reduction window film can help improve the comfort of your commercial space.
Glare is light that interferes with your vision as it enters your eye. The light scatters, causing you to see less sharply and with less contrast. Different people have different tolerances for bright light. The severity of glare experienced depends on a number of factors including, age, color of eyes, usage of eye glasses, and other eye conditions. In commercial settings, the most common cause of glare is sunlight entering the space through the windows, and it most prevalently occurs in rooms with south facing windows. Persisting glare causes eye strain, headaches, and a decrease in productivity.
When you begin experiencing glare, your initial reaction is likely to draw the blinds or drapes. This certainly does eliminate the glare, but it also completely blocks all natural light. Instead, opt for 3M
