Common Misconceptions Regarding Window Tints

Posted by L.A.Window Films Philippines on August 2nd, 2019

One of the most common misconceptions about window films in the Philippines is that they are only for cars or vehicles. In reality, there are specific types of window tint films for residential and commercial applications. These products are also designed for the same purpose—that is, to increase comfort by reducing the heat or sun rays seeping through the windows.

Tints in the Philippines are extremely beneficial especially because the country has a tropical climate. Throughout the year, Filipinos experience an extreme level of heat. Unfortunately, many homeowners still don’t install window tint films because of the following misconceptions:

1. Window films are not worth the money because they bubble up, peel, and get scratches easily.

This is not entirely true. With the right product, you won't have to deal with these issues. Not all window films are created the same. The secret is in finding modern tinting solutions that are created using advanced technology because they feature excellent scratch-resistant coatings. Another secret to keeping your window films intact, whether for car or your home, is to hire a professional installer. Tints installed by highly experienced professionals will last long and won't develop gas pockets or bubbles easily.

2. Window tints are unsightly.

Window films sold a decade ago are very different from what’s available in the market these days. Modern window films are sleek and luxurious; in fact, installing window tints is one of the easiest ways to improve the visual appeal of your car, home, or business. What's more, window tints in the Philippines are available in various styles to choose from. You can opt for dark, light, or clear shades. You can even find tints with designs.

3. Tints are entirely cosmetic.

Because window films look undeniably more stylish these days, people think that they are only installed or designed for aesthetic purposes. This can’t be more wrong. Professional window films from well-known brands can block up to 99% of UV rays, thus protecting your car’s or home's interior from fading, your eyes from glare, and also your skin from the harmful UV rays. Window tints also have higher heat rejection properties, keeping your room cooler and helping you reduce your overall energy consumption.
