How window tinting with residential window films can help turn your home into safer, more energy efficient, and more comfortable place to live. Window tints work to reduce harmful UV rays from entering the home, thus helping protect you and your furnishings from the harmful effects of UV exposure. More and more homeowners are investing in window film installations for its endless list of benefits, and below are the reasons why you, too might want to consider residential window films for your home: 

Greater energy efficiency – One of the main reasons why homeowners choose to invest in window tint is the long-term savings they stand to get on their energy bill. Regular glass windows are unprotected from the heat coming from the sun, dramatically raising the temperature inside the home. Window tints can reduce home’s heating and cooling expenses by up to 30 percent, which means great things for your savings and the environment. 

Better comfort – As residential window films reduce the amount of direct heat that comes into your home, you benefit from more consistent room-to-room temperature, which allows for better comfort in any room of the house. Glare from the sun is also reduced, so as not to interfere with your productivity and comfort. 

Protection from harmful UV rays – Window tinting films can prevent as much as 99% UV rays from entering your home, protecting you and your family from the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin. According to the SCF (Skin Cancer Foundation) UV radiation is among the leading causes of non-melanoma skin cancers, apart from being a frequent factor in melanoma cases. 

Additional security – Many homeowners also invest in residential window filmsbecause of the increased security they offer. Tints help deter and slow down unwanted intruders, preventing them from causing further damage and loss of your property. 

Structural reinforcement – Tinting films also help make glass windows more resistant to breakage and protects occupants from potential injury in case of damage. Tinting films can hold the glass together so that the pieces won’t shatter and leave shards flying across the room. 

Easy maintenance – Window films are also made to be scratch and weather resistant, making the windows easy if not easier to keep clean. Check with your manufacturer to know what kind of cleaning agents and products can be used to clean window tints without damaging the material or causing the installation to peel off from your window units.
