Residential window tinting is a great way to save energy, improve a home’s safety and make it more comfortable overall. Window tinting is done by covering the windows with a unique window film that can be custom designed to fit your needs.
While homeowners can utilize blinds or curtains, window film is affordable and hassle-free. Let’s explore the many benefits residential window film has to offer.
Offers UV Protection
We love the sunshine, but the sun’s UV rays can be harmful to both skin and furniture. This risk can be increased for those who enjoy sitting by the window reading or working for hours in the sunshine because windows alone do not block all the UV rays that come through. But, with the help of window film, one can continue to enjoy the natural light while blocking up to 99% of the sun’s UV rays.
Reduces Glares
Most people enjoy the natural light and warmth of the sun coming through their windows, but not the glare against their screens or in their eyes. The sun’s glare can make it hard to watch television or work as it shines on the device’s screen or in some cases directly in your eyes.
Traditionally, the only way to stop the glare was to close your blinds or curtains. This gets rid of the glare but it also blocks out the sun’s natural light. With window film, one can reduce the glare to avoid annoyance but still allow the natural light of the sun to brighten the home.
Improves Privacy
Privacy in a home is important. It can prevent embarrassing moments and also keep a family safe. Everywhere there are windows in a home can be
By using window film you can nap by a window or bath as the sun shine’s through the window without fear of outsiders or passerbys peeking through your windows.
Reduces wear and tear on interiors
One thing many homeowners don’t think about is the fading that occurs to furniture, flooring and interiors over time as the sun shines on them. As UV rays beat down on a home’s furnishings it causes them to fade and reduces their lifespan.
By using window film, you can reduce the amount of UV rays that enter your home. This allows you to extend the life of your furniture and furnishings without losing your natural lighting.
Savings on utility bills and comfort
During the hot summer months, the sun shining through windows and doors can heat up a home greatly increasing the amount of energy required to keep the home cool. This causes a home’s utility bill to rise and can cause the AC unit to run excessively, decreasing its lifespan.
Window tinting can help homeowners reduce their energy expenditure by limiting the amount of heat that comes through. And, because it’s affordable, it becomes a great option for energy savings.
Improved Safety
Window tinting can help families improve their safety and security in a couple of ways. The first, is by providing privacy. The lack of visibility from the outside can deter criminals from choosing your home to break into.
The second way window film can help is through the use of specialty safety film. This film is designed to keep shattered glass in place vs shooting everywhere. This makes it harder for criminals to break in via windows but it also protects those in the home from flying glass due to natural disasters.
Increased Aesthetics
If you want to add unique style to your home then window film can help. Decorative film can be added to exterior facing windows and doors but also to interior glass. Homeowners can decorate windows for a unique look or provide style to shower glass doors.
Decorative film is a great option that not only provides the benefits of what we’ve already covered but to adds style and a unique look while doing so.
