How can Window Film can help learning in Schools?
School is a really important time in any child’s life and the main priority of any educational facility should be every child’s safety. Installing window film in a school or any academic institute offers numerous benefits, from aiding a child’s education to protecting the building. Here are four ways window films can help to improve a school.
It Protects Children Against Harmful Rays
It is incredibly important to make sure every child’s health is looked after and taken care of, which is why it is crucial to protect them from ultraviolet (UV) rays. The sun emits harmful UV rays, and although windows are able to filter out dangerous UVB rays that cause sunburn, they are unable to filter out harmful UVA rays that can cause long term skin damage. A child’s skin is much thinner than an adults, which means that they are more susceptible to damage from UV rays.
Primary School children spend an average of 635 hours in classroom a year, and installing protective window film around schools will help protect children (and teachers) against these UVA rays, therefore reducing the risk of skin damage and cancers.
It Increases Security and Safety
A school is an incredibly busy environment where lots of things happen and there always seems to be something going on. With so many children playing, accidents can happen and sometimes windows are broken. Safety window film helps to hold a smashed window together so that it pupils and teachers are not injured by shards of glass.
Protecting a school from intruders during closed hours is also really important, and can be done with security window film. Keeping a school safe from burglars and intruders creates a safer environment for everyone and saves money from making claims. Alongside this, other protective window films will help protect a school from even further danger. Although it is not nice to think about potentially life threatening scenarios, anti-blast window film has the potential to save lives and protect children from unthinkable situations.
It is cost effective
Keeping multiple classrooms cool with air-conditioning units can be quite costly, especially when it comes to those hot summer months where getting children to concentrate in a hot and stuffy classroom is a Teacher’s nightmare. Most people find sitting in a muggy room incredibly tiring, and really struggle to concentrate. A warm room will make children feel lethargic and they will struggle to concentrate, which is why solar control window film is a great way to help aid a child’s learning at school. Solar window film helps to reduce heat gain by 90%, therefore lowering the temperature of a room and reducing the use of air conditioning units.
Brands the School
Coloured window film can change an otherwise plain building into something beautiful and exciting. Although pupils go to school to learn, there is no need to place them in a boring and plain environment. Printed manifestation window graphics are an excellent way for schools to create stimulating learning environment, as well as helping to define themselves and their brand.
Brightly coloured window film also helps to highlight large panes of glass that may not be seen by otherwise excitable children… Decorating your windows with the school emblem or logo will make the institution look professional, as well as adding character to the building.
