One of the most influential reasons to invest in residential or business window tinting is for the long-term savings on your energy bill. With regular glass windows, the heat from the sun dramatically raises the temperature inside. By installing window tinting film, your heating and cooling bill reflects a decrease in price of up to 30 percent, benefiting both your wallet and the environment.

When the heat from the sun is reduced, your home or commercial business becomes much more temperature-consistent from room to room. In a location without window tinting film, rooms are often of inconsistent temperatures due to the beating sun penetrating through the windows, despite your thermostat’s setting. Window tinting film helps create an even temperature throughout all day long—meaning no more unintentional “sun” rooms.

Window tinting film reflects the heat from the sun as well as the glare. Glare through traditional windows can have an impact on your productivity and comfort levels when working on your computer, watching television, reading, cooking, and doing other household activities and chores. In a window-tinted home or commercial business, the glare is reflected, so you can continue cleaning the floors or watching your favorite show without the interruption from the sun’s glare.

An additional measure of protection provided by window tinting film is its ability to deter or slow down an unwanted intruder. Safety film that is installed to the interior and exterior of the window and properly anchored by a certified specialist is able to hold the glass in place longer when an intruder tries to gain entry by breaking through it. The type of window film you opt for could mean the difference between an intruder gaining access to your home 20 seconds slower than through a typical window, two minutes slower or possibly not at all.

Whether a window is broken by an attempted burglary, severe weather, a natural disaster or simply by a well-aimed baseball, window tinting films are able to hold the glass together so that it doesn’t shatter and spread across the room. This extra safety benefit keeps you and others more protected from glass-related injuries.

Window tinting film is water resistant and a scratch-resistant coating is available, making your home or business windows just as easy—if not easier—to clean. Different types of tinting films may require different cleaning agents, so be sure to get the recommended instructions from your installation service. And the type of window tinting film you opt for will determine how often cleaning is needed.

An element of privacy from the outside world, especially when your home or business is located in a busy area or has a significant number of windows, can be achieved with window tinting film. The privacy of window tinting film is a desired comfort for many, giving you peace of mind that a passerby is not able to peer in and see you and others.

During a new-build or renovation project, window tinting film should be a topic of discussion when considering improvements for the curb appeal of the property. Solar and decorative films add a sleek look to the outside of your home or business and are often a key benefit for those interested in the product. Window tinting provides a myriad of benefits, but yes, they are indeed aesthetically pleasing as well.

Believe it or not, one can sunburn while sitting on the couch if close enough to a window with the sun shining through. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, UV radiation is the leading cause of non-melanoma skin cancers and a frequent factor in cases of melanoma. Window tinting film reduces 99 percent of ultraviolet (UV) rays and, therefore, protects you and your family when inside the home or business.
