Few things are more frustrating than missing that key sports play during a crucial game like the NFL Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA Finals, the FIFA World Cup Final or the Stanley Cup Finals because sunlight is causing interrupting window glare on your TV screen.
Homes throughout Northeast Florida often feature large windows, open layouts, and sliding glass doors — all great for views and hosting watch parties, but not so great for screen visibility. 3M™ residential window film significantly cuts glare while maintaining a clear view outside. That means:
- Sharper picture quality on large-screen TVs
- No need to close curtains or blinds during daytime games
- A better viewing experience for sports, movies, and streaming
This makes window tinting for homes ideal for family rooms, living rooms, and other gathering locations within your home where entertainment matters most.
Reduce Window Glare in your Florida Home Before the Big Game
Homes in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida get intense sun exposure year-round, which means that window glare can cause issues like eye strain and discomfort. Unlike blinds or curtains, 3M home window tinting works 24/7 without blocking your view or making rooms feel dark.
3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Prestige Series is constructed using multiple layers of nanotechnology in which each layer is specifically placed to deflect the sun’s harmful rays away from your home’s glass. The result? Darker tint levels of the film, such as PR20, can reduce up to 76 percent of glare while nearly clear versions of the film, like PR70, reject up to 22 percent of glare. This means you can focus on the game and not worry about missing a key play.
In addition to glare control, 3M window film also helps:
- Reduce UV exposure that can damage eyes and interiors
- Maintain a more comfortable indoor environment with more even temperatures
- Protect furniture, flooring, and electronics from sun damage
The Skin Cancer Foundation also notes that quality window films block harmful UV rays, helping protect both your eyes and your skin.
Protect Your Self and Your Guests from Window Glare
Glare might seem like a minor annoyance, but long-term exposure to glare, specially from screens, can cause health issues, particularly for people who spend hours watching games on the TV.
Glare from sunlight or reflections on screens can cause eye strain, headaches, and visual fatigue by forcing your eyes to constantly adjust to high brightness and poor contrast. The American Optometric Association explains that this condition, often called digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome, is linked to prolonged screen use and glare exposure, leading to discomfort, blurred vision, and reduced focus.
The U.S. Department of Energy highlights how window films improve indoor comfort by managing sunlight more effectively, reducing glare and UV exposure.
If you are hosting watch parties or gatherings at your home to catch the Big Game, consider installing 3M home window tint to protect you and your guests from the detrimental effects of window glare.
