ADDITIONAL SAVINGS: Protect Your Furniture

To put it bluntly; residential window tint saves money, and when making an investment, obviously the desired result is to profit from it in the future. You may find yourself asking, “How can home window tinting benefit me or save money in any way?”

One simple answer is this; by reducing the amount of sunlight that’s able to enter your home, the window tint protects both the furniture and interior of your home from incurring damage due to excess sunlight. If you have furnished a home in the past or are in the process of doing so, you’ll realize that furniture can be very pricy and is certainly not something you would like to replace before necessary. However, if left unprotected from the harsh rays of sun, this may very likely be the case!

Residential window tint saves money and by applying tinting film to the major windows of your home, you will provide your home and furniture with a veil of protection from the sun, without obstructing too much natural light from entering you home. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of your home’s windows, the natural light and view of the outdoors, without the risk of causing any serious damage.

RESIDENTIAL TINTING: PRIVACY AND SECURITY   

Last but certainly not least, by having your windows tinted you are also taking a proactive step in better protecting your home from the risk of attracting unwanted attention.

This not only provides your home with an extra layer of privacy, but also reduces the likelihood of a home invasion or robbery.

You can also choose an additional form of privacy by including a variety of shades, designs, patterns, and colors. For privacy concerns, you can even get frosted glass that admits light but obscures the interior.

TIPS & TRICKS TO WINTERIZE YOUR HOME

No matter where you live, taking some time to prepare for a season change is beneficial for your home. If your winters get snow and icicles or just palm trees and cooler temperatures, winterizing your home with these tips can help you have a safer and less expensive winter season.

  • Windows. As we mentioned above, window film is one of the best winterizing steps you can take, and they’re great for all weather conditions. In the summer, window film helps keep harmful UV rays out of the home, and in winter, it helps keep in the warmth.
  • Fans can help distribute heat. While fans are often associated with hot days, they can actually help distribute the warm air around your home. Simply reverse the direction of their spin cycles – make them run counter-clockwise in rotation.
  • Check your fireplace flue before your first fire of the season! Make sure you have proper ventilation and consider sweeping your chimney before the cold weather hits and you’re craving a warm fire.
  • Check over your doors to see if they are sealed. Does light come through or can you feel air through a doorway? Then you probably need to seal your doors. This will help keep cold air out, and warm air inside where you want it nice and cozy for the holiday season.
  • Pipes and pluming checks. You may need to turn off outdoor water accesses.
  • Check your detectors. Home fired and carbon monoxide accidents are at a higher percentage over the winter months, so check over your detectors to make sure you and your family is protected from harmful gas.

FAQ Window Film | We’re Answering Your Biggest Questions

Q. What is window film?

A. Window film is a thin, multi-layered polyester material that incorporates the many different layers to control different properties, including Ultra-Violet (UV) light, heat, glare, and privacy. Window film comes in a variety of performance levels and shades.

What are the benefits of window film?

A. The many benefits of window film include eye comfort, UV protection, aesthetics, and increased safety, privacy, and energy savings. Here are some additional Window Tinting Benefits for Large or Small Commercial Buildings.

Q. Does window film actually work?

A. Modern solar films can block as much as 55 percent of the outdoor heat. An insulating window film applied over a window can help the window retain up to 55 percent more heat in winter, potentially reducing your heating costs up to 30 percent. These films are less effective at reducing summer heat gain, though.

What do the different levels of film mean?

A. Film percentages stand for light transmission, or the amount of light that is allowed through the film. The lower the percentage, the darker the film.

Q. What is “One-Way Film”?

A. “One-Way Film” is based on lighting, not the film itself. The side that is the brightest is the side that you can see. During the day when it is bright outside, you can see outside. At night, if you have lights on inside and no lighting outside, then it reverses.

Q. Is the tint applied on the outside of the window?

A. No. In most cases, window film is installed on the inside of the glass. This allows for maximum durability. On vehicles, the window tint is hand-cut on the outside of the glass, then installed on the interior of the glass.

Q. Can window film be applied to any surface?

A. No. The adhesive is meant to adhere to glass only. Window film should only be applied to glass surfaces that have a smooth finish. Plastics, Plexiglas, or Lexan contain too much oil for the film to adhere properly for a long period of time.

Q. How does window film improve year-round comfort?

A. Window film creates a more comfortable environment through consistent climate control by eliminating “cold wall” and “hot wall” problems. Rooms stay more comfortable in the summer and winter, be reducing “hot spots”, no matter where the sun is shining.

Q. How does window film lower energy costs?

Q. In summer, window film reflects the hot sun, reducing heat gain and lowering air conditioning costs. In winter, window film retains heat — up to 15% — to reduce heating costs. This year-after-year reduction in energy costs can yield an impressive return on investment. Related Article: Window Tint Will Save Energy and Money

Q. Does blocking UV rays help prevent fading and deterioration?

A. Yes. The same sun that brightens a room’s interior can be detrimental to fabrics, furnishings, artwork, and rugs. Ultraviolet rays are the main cause of both fade and deterioration. Window films can screen out 99% of the damaging UV rays that can fade richly colored furniture, tapestries, and artwork. Heat and light also play a part in fading, but using window film to block nearly 100% of UV rays will increase the life of your personal property for years.

Q. What should I use to clean my windows after I’ve had them tinted?

A. After window film installation, wait a week before cleaning the inside of the window where the film was installed. After a week, use a window cleaner without ammonia and a soft cloth or rubber squeegee. We recommend foam cleaners because they do not streak, and are usually ammonia-free. Never scrape the film with any type of blade or clean your tinted windows with anything abrasive, as it will scratch the film.

Q. If my window film is damaged, can it be fixed?

A. Damaged window film cannot be repaired, but the damaged piece of film can be removed and the glass can be re-tinted.

Residential Window Tint Solutions: Why do I need window tint?

Tinting windows often gets associated with cars and other vehicles, but did you know that tinting your home windows will provide numerous benefits for the look, feel, and safety of your home?

Understand What You Need to Know About Residential Window Tinting

Residential Window Tint Solutions: Sunlight Protection with a View

We all love a bright, sunny day, but the heat and UV rays from the sun can damage our skin, our furniture, and make our homes too warm for comfort. Sunlight rays can also ruin electronics, digital items, and can even cause wood to rot from routine exposure.

The wonderful thing about window tinting is it significantly reduces the harmful UV rays, without blocking your view of the outside. You may think that adding window tinting could make your home dark and dreary, but that isn’t the case. Your view to the outside isn’t blocked at all.

Our residential window tinting solutions can provide answers to all these problems:

  • Add privacy
  • Reduce glare
  • Reduce sun damage and exposure
  • Reduce energy costs

Residential Window Tint Solutions: Stay Cool – Don’t Overheat

We’re in the beginning of summer, and temps are already climbing throughout the day. Save your home the stress of keeping cool with the help of window tinting. Our transparent, almost colorless spectrally-selective applied window film offers the best ratio of visible light transmission to heat rejection. These clear films don’t alter the appearance of glass, but are scratch resistant and reduce up to 55% of solar heat gain – keeping your house cooler and your bills lower over time.

Residential Window Tint Solutions: Extra Privacy

Our homes are our sanctuary, and we want to feel the ultimate sense of privacy when we’re at home. We offer two effective types of privacy films for your home. These are great in any areas you’d like extra privacy – such as bathrooms and closets.

Learn How Residential Window Tint Saves Money

Mirrored privacy films provide daytime privacy. They allow you to see outside, but stop others from seeing in during the daylight hours. At night, their mirrored surface is ineffective and outsiders can see inside if there is light from within. Privacy films also help block UV rays up to 99%, which protects your furniture and anything else inside your home.

Installation is fast, cost-effective and easy in every home! Give us a call today for a FREE estimate for your home.
