Energy costs are a constant battle for any hotel. It requires a huge amount of energy to power artificial lighting, power, keep the heat or ac running in guest rooms, and operate facilities like a kitchen, pool, and fitness center. And in Colorado, the battle is even more brutal due to the effects of high altitude and the weather from the mountains.

During the summer, the sun beats down on the windows of hotel buildings, causing guest rooms to become hot and uncomfortable. And in the winter, the thin uninsulated glass provides little to no protection from the cold conditions outside. Guests complain, energy costs go up, and ratings go down as hotel owners are left with a headache from the calamity.

But this doesn’t have to necessarily be the case. In fact, hotel owners can easily avoid the hassle of temperature fluctuations by installing exterior resurfacing window film. Exterior window film allows Fort Collins hotels to improve energy efficiency while also creating a beautiful exterior appearance that attracts guests.

Window Film Vs. Replacement

Windows are no doubt one of the major sources of energy efficiency issues. For this reason, many property owners turn to triple and double pane windows as a solution to their energy cost woes. Unfortunately, this is hardly a viable option for hotels since there’s so much glass that would require replacement.

That’s what makes window film such a great option for hotels. Window film offers a more economical alternative to glass replacement. And the ROI is far superior. With window film, many hotels experience a full payback on their investment in 5 years or less.

Advantages of Exterior Window Film

In addition to energy savings, exterior window film can also provide Fort Collins hotels with many other advantages such as:
-Improved aesthetics: Window film conceals chips, cracks, and imperfections in glass, making hotels appear newer and more modern
-Glare reduction: Window tint reduces glare and improves screen viewing activities like watching tv and working on the computer
-Uv protection: Fading is a common result of uv exposure, which can easily be remedied with window film. Window film blocks out 99% of ultraviolet radiation
