Clear Benefits of Window Tinting

Whether we're talking about the windows of your car, residence or office building, installing tinting film has benefits.  Below we briefly discuss the various visual, sun protection, privacy, safety & cost savings of having your windows tinted.  

Visual
Tinting your windows gives them a clean 'polished' lock that reduces glare from the sun.  This is helpful to reduce screen glare, see the road better or simply be able to shut your eyes for an afternoon weekend snooze. Both standard and decorative window films help give the glass a classy look without the cost of replacing windows.

Protection from the Sun
Window film is able to prevent over 99% of harmful UV light from the sun in.  By reducing the UV light traveling through your windows, you can protect people and furnishings from sunlight damage.  This is also helpful for electronic hardware that can wear down much faster if it is exposed to sunlight every day.

Safety
Window tinting film actually makes the glass behind the window stronger.  In the unfortunate case of a window breaking, the break will be more controlled if the windows have tinting film installed.  There is also an added element of safety due to the fact that seeing into windows is difficult.  Many break-ins occur after thieves see something they want- with tinting film, window-shoppers will not be able to know what's inside.

Privacy
Similar to the increased safety of not being able to see inside, the benefit of increased privacy comes with tinting film.  Instead of feeling exposed to the public, you are able to be inside without worrying about eyes peering in.  This is especially important for homes, where you deserve to have privacy for you and your family.

Cost Savings
The amount your energy bill is reduced because of window film blocking sunlight is staggering.  In summer months, up to 40% of energy bills come from sunlight heat getting through windows.  By blocking this light, heat gain is reduced by 80% and your utility bill will be thanking you.  For a handy calculator on the amount of energy bill you could save, use our friend's at Glass Tint USA.
