Why Colorado Springs Schools Need Window Film in 2023
The world is constantly changing and schools today are facing different challenges than they did 10 or 20 years ago. Energy costs are on the rise, education budgets are growing smaller, and gun violence is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. That’s why so schools today in Colorado Springs need window film. With window film, Colorado Springs school districts can overcome challenges related to safety, energy efficiency, and more without having to overspend on renovations.
Why More Schools Will Be Turning to Window Film in the Future
Window films have been around for a long time. In the past, they’ve been utilized primarily by home and business owners looking to reduce energy costs. But now there are so many different types of window film available, including options for safety, glare control, and privacy. With so many benefits in store, it’s easy to see why schools are jumping on board with the window tinting trend.
Here’s why we expect to see more Colorado Springs schools investing in window film in the future.
Energy costs are steadily increasing.
Energy costs in the U.S. have been steadily increasing for a while now. In 2022, consumers paid about 14.3% more for electricity than they did in 2021. This is a major expenditure for schools to undertake. For this reason, we expect to see more schools investing in window film as a way to control their operating expenses.
Gun violence in schools is becoming more prevalent.
More than 6,000 children and teens lost their lives due to gun violence last year. Gun violence has become an epidemic in the U.S. and many schools are looking for more advanced security methods. Security film offers schools a way to protect against violence and keep staff and students safe.
Schools are working with tight budgets.
Schools that have been around for some time might find that they are in need of renovations. Renovations can be expensive, however, and many schools don’t have the budget to spend on expensive updates. We expect to see more schools utilizing window film as a cost effective way for updating their campus.
