What Window Film Can Do to Boost Productivity at Work
Numerous studies have concluded that there is a strong relationship between low levels of sun exposure and low productivity. With an increasing number of people working in offices, this is a problem for many employers who are concerned with the productivity and success of the company.
As a result, many companies are beginning to consider changing light levels and implementing decorative window film design as a means of increasing productivity in the workplace. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a total office renovation or replacing existing glass, window films can be a great option for reducing heat and glare, as well as effectively improving the well-being and mentality of your team.
Read on to find out how to effectively use window film to increase your team’s productivity in the workplace.
How Does Light Affect Productivity?
It is commonly known that there is a connection between light exposure and happiness. There are several theories as to why certain types and levels of light can have such a large effect on our physical and emotional function.
Natural light and UV rays from the sun are very important for a healthy and prosperous life within human beings. Scientifically, this is partly explained by the fact that levels of the hormone cortisol are thought to drop significantly in dim or artificial lighting conditions. The result? Low cortisol levels will make workers more stressed and inhibit our ability to stabilize energy levels.
One study in particular found that office workers given the best possible view of the office from the window performed 10 to 25% better on tests of mental function and memory recall than those They had no view from the window.
The Daylighting in Schools Reanalysis Report further supports this by studying the effect of natural sunlight on student learning and the average percentage improvement on probability tests for both reading and mathematics. Overall, among the twelve models studied, an overall average of 21 percent improvement in student learning rates was observed in classrooms with more sunlight compared to those with less.
Ultimately, even a single percentage of productivity can have a big effect on an organization as a whole. When we look at the big picture, if all workers can improve their productivity by even 1%, it could have a huge impact on the company’s overall performance and financial income.
How Can Window Films Improve Productivity?
Companies are well aware that natural light promotes higher energy levels and creative thinking for employees. In response to this, Apply To Glass offers handmade and bespoke window films that produce excellent levels of natural light, thanks to the high quality and translucent nature of the materials.
However, just as natural sunlight boosts productivity by just the right amount, excessive reflection can act as an unwanted distraction. An anti-reflective window film is also available, reducing the impact of screen headaches and glare while still letting in some natural light.
One-way window film is also another perfect option for businesses that want to block viewers from seeing into their building without blocking natural light. All Apply To Glass anti-reflective films come with extensive warranties from 7 to 12 years. Giving companies peace of mind on the rare occasions that a problem occurs.
It’s Neither Too Hot Nor Too Cold
Light levels are a great way to increase productivity in the workplace. However, it is also important that natural sunlight, ultraviolet light or excessive levels of heat do not cause detrimental damage to employee concentration levels. Solar window film is an excellent option to help control the effects of the sun in your workplace.
This solar window film can reduce solar heat, UV rays and glare by up to 80%. Of course, a balance is needed, since some companies can enjoy the heat of the sun when it arrives at noon. With this in mind, Apply To Glass has developed solar window film in a variety of shades and materials for every situation.
For those who work in busy offices, heat reducing solar window films can be used to keep premises cool and stop heat before it enters. Another benefit of this product is that it still allows the exact same clear view for your workers.
