6 Vital Reasons to Tint Your Home

Window tinting for your home has many benefits that go above and beyond superficial cosmetic enhancement. Window tinting can protect your family, your valuables and save you real money. Vancouver Island residents are moving toward greener energy and increased efficiency at a rapid pace, and the side benefits of window films combined with a smaller carbon footprint make it a perfect upgrade for any home. Below we break down the most vital reasons people tint; This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Window tint keeps it bright on the inside of your home, but makes it near impossible for outsiders to see in. This increase in privacy is beneficial for keeping the eyes of your nosey neighbours out, and more importantly will keep your activity and possessions private from any burglar who happens to be casing the area. Burglars take “window shopping” to a whole new level, and window tint is an excellent deterrent.

Window tint improves the comfort of your home by keeping the overall temperature more consistent. It also eliminates uncomfortable hot spots near windows and reduces annoying glare on your TV or computer screen. Your home will remain noticeably more comfortable, which will reduce your dependence on a/c and the related financial and environmental impact of running your air-conditioning during those hot summer months. Simply put, window film makes your home more efficient.

Long-term exposure to solar heat and UV rays will damage your valuables and furnishings. Sunlight will fade anything in its’ path and degrades the life of carpeting, wall coverings, drapes and even precious art and family heirlooms. The sun’s UV rays affect all surfaces, and can cause plastic and wood to crack and peel. Solar films block UV radiation, preserving the interior surfaces of your home.

Customised home window tint adds class, elegance and improves the aesthetic appearance of any home. We offer a range of colours, designs and even patterns to suit most budgets and compliment your apartment, condominium or house.

The adhesive on professionally installed window film can stop shattered glass from flying, protecting your family from injuries. Unexpected weather, sudden storms, a wayward tree branch or baseball, or even an earthquake can be the cause of shattered and broken windows. Window tint will work to hold the parts of your window together in case of emergency. If you are looking for added window strength to stop burglars and protect from blasts, security window films are a perfect option, which we have written about right here.

Simply being inside behind glass and out of the direct rays of the sun will not eliminate the harm caused by UV rays. Standard window glass allows cancer-causing UV rays into your home. The installation of commercial window tint will filter out up to 99% of harmful UV rays and is an investment in your health.
