What is Window Tinting?
Unlike low-e glass, home window tinting is an after-market product, most often a window film applied to the inside of the existing window. Films of various shades and tints are available to block out just the right amount of light and heat to meet your needs. Applying window tinting will protect your fabrics, carpets, and hardwood floors from fading in the sun’s rays. Security film fortifies your home and prevents shattered glass from scattering and leaving the window vulnerable.
Home window film can benefit homeowners in many ways:
- Enhancing security:
Window film forms your first line of defense against threats – natural or manmade. Xlnt Tint can install specialized film that strengthens your windows and holds shattered glass in place, should it break. This window addition keeps your view clear, reduces energy costs and protects your home. - Increasing privacy:
Window films may increase your family’s privacy by obscuring the view into your home from the exterior without blocking your view of the outdoors. - Providing UV protection:
Properly installed, high-quality solar window film can block up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays, protecting your family from sun exposure and preventing your furniture from fading. - Increasing energy savings:
Expertly installed window film reduces the transfer of energy into or out of your home, lowering cooling bills in summer and heating bills in winter. - Reducing glare:
A pesky glare can ruin the view from a room. Home window film can reduce glare, allowing you to better enjoy your space. - Decorating:
Window film can also serve a decorative purpose. It’s available in a variety of patterns, colors, and textures. Tinted window film can be applied to everything – from exterior windows to glass showers, cabinet doors and tabletops.
Solar Film is an effective method for maximizing the performance of ordinary glass.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, one third of a building’s potential cooling capability can come from the solar heat gained through its windows. Ironically, most businesses are not taking advantage of this cost-saving method, as 75% of office windows are not energy efficient. That is to say, the most likely solution to maximizing solar energy isn’t being utilized. This situation is completely avoidable if solar film is used.
Commercial solar film is not just a great way to increase savings but will protect the building and its occupants. Tenants in commercial properties are being subjected to the many harmful and bothersome effects of sun and heat exposure. Solar film is designed to increase comfort throughout the structure by selecting visible light and dispersing it evenly. It also cuts and greatly reduces glare.
The benefits of solar film:
- Heat reduction. Light bounces off the film, instead of being absorbed and intensified by glass. Coated glass can make environments 78% cooler than those with untreated glass.
- Reduce exposure to ultraviolet rays. Protect employees from potential skin cancers and other ill health effects.
- Reducing glare will only enhance productivity and morale. As solar film will reflect light, it will make it easier to see computer screens, and it puts an end to employee frustration caused by light in the eyes.
- Correct imbalances between sunny and shaded areas in the office.
- Reduces energy costs! Considering the long-term savings, solar film is an obvious choice.
- Solar film is eco-friendly and determined to be an essential tool in combating global warming. Minimize energy usage and carbon emissions. Get qualified for a Green Building Certification.
