7 Reasons Why You Should Tint Your Windows

7 Reasons Why You Should Tint Your Windows

Having been in the window tinting industry for more than half of our 70 yearswe are well-attuned to the benefits of tinting your windows. However, we still run into many homeowners that aren’t familiar with what window films can do for their spaces. Putting these two things together, we thought we should compile a list of our top seven favorite reasons for why you should tint your windows. And we’re pretty confident that you will find at least one reason that you could benefit from!

Reduce Glare

Ever been watching TV and a glare gets in the way? What about when you’re driving down the street and the sun causes you to squint the whole way home? These are problems that window film can easily reduce! Darker window films block the most, but all of our window films will help tone down the bright sun.

Reduce Fading

Whether you want to prolong the life of valuables in your home or want to reduce fading on items within your business or storefront, window tinting is a great solution! All of our window films block at least 99% (some even 99.9%) of the UV spectrum, which is the main cause of fading. As it so happens, the next two causes are heat and visible light, which are also reduced with window film!

Reduce Heat

Room heating up too much? Air conditioner overworking? Many window films can help! Our advice is to call us up before the summer heat arrives! Once you realize how much heat reduction window films can bring, you’ll question why you didn’t invest in them sooner!

Increase Privacy

Window films make it easier to enjoy the daylight view of the outdoors, without allowing your neighbors or passersby see inside. Home and car break-ins are more likely to happen when the thieves can see what’s inside.  Feel secure knowing that your belongings are better hidden. Traditional window films help to increase privacy during the day, whereas opaque films help all day and night!

Increase Safety

Along with increasing privacy, window tinting also increases safety as it is harder for windows to break when they are tinted. If they do break, the window film will hold the shards of glass together — keeping you from a mess of shattered glass. If safety is your main concern, we recommend safety-specific films that are thicker — ranging from 4mm to 11mm thick!

Improve Aesthetics

If you’re looking to increase the visual appeal of your home or business, window films are a great place to start! Use them to homogenize the look of your home’s windows from the street or to add a touch of richness and professionalism to the exterior of your business.

Balance Temperatures

Last, but certainly not least, use window tinting to help balance the temperatures in your home or office. Hot and cold spots can make a living space feel bipolar. Reducing the overly hot areas can help your HVAC system balance out the entire building.
