BENEFITS OF TINTING

Perhaps the most common reason people tint their windows, especially in automobiles, is to reduce the amount of heat that is transmitted through the glass. Applying film can block upwards of 65% of the heat that is coming through un-tinted windows. Many folks have had the dreadful experience of entering their car or truck on a hot day to find that the upholstery is unbearably hot, or even worse make contact with a sizzling metal seat belt buckle that burns their skin. Imagine minimizing the several intolerable minutes it takes to cool down your car or truck with air conditioning just by adding a simple window tint to your vehicle. Plus, the energy it takes to power your car’s AC sucks up pricey gasoline. Over time, the amount of money you save by cooling down the car with window tint can pay for itself in reduced fuel costs.

More importantly, think about the oven-like effect that is created in a car that lacks window tint and how that can cause discomfort or even physical harm to you and your children. People with young babies should almost always get their windows tinted to protect their developing young bodies from unnaturally high temperatures. This is especially important for people in hotter climates, but anyone who has taken road trip to a warm destination knows that keeping cool can be the difference between a painful trek and an awesome time.

Auto owners aren’t the only ones who need the beat the heat. Minimizing the amount of energy it takes to cool your home or office can be an even bigger money saver. Those summertime electric bills skyrocket because of the sun’s relentless streaming through clear glass windows. If you own a home or commercial building, a one-time window tinting job can consistently cut costs over the entire time period that you occupy the space.

Most tinting films filter out over 99% of UV rays that are coming through your windows. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time in your car, that powerful ultraviolet energy can do serious damage to your skin. This is especially harmful for people with fair colored or sensitive skin and can be dangerous for those with certain medical conditions. UV light can even take it’s toll while you’re sitting at home or in the office, putting you at risk for skin diseases such as melanoma. Some doctors even command their patients to get their windows tinted to keep them safe from the sun!

Ultraviolet light also fades furniture, upholstery, hardwood floor finish and even paint on walls. Fading decreases the value of your most important property and a small investment in window tint can prevent this damage altogether. Imagine your expensive leather couch being ruined, having to repaint your kitchen, replace your floors or even discourage a potential property buyer just because you let the sun’s light wreck your investment! Tint those windows and keep the inside of your car, boat, business or house safe from vicious solar beatings.

For a lot of folks, protecting their privacy while inside their vehicle is a top priority. The same concept applies to homes and commercial buildings. Block the view of prospective thieves or privacy intruders who may want to peep through your windows by applying one of these films. Whether you’re looking to lay low for peace of mind or for security, window tinting is a great way to do it.

In addition to deterring thievery by preventing bad people from scoping your stuff, window film can even stop glass from breaking during a theft attempt. Strong poly materials often hold glass together even if it gets struck by a hard object. Imagine a sticky fingered savage trying to bust through your window, only to see the spidered glass hold together because of the high tech tint film. The slightest delay can make a bad guy think twice and move on rather than risk trying to penetrate glass that features added protection.
