-- DECREASE UNWANTED ENERGY TRANSFER --
Window tint is one of the most efficient ways to decrease solar energy transfer through your windows. It can provide substantial heat reduction when compared to untinted windows. Also, window tinting can help reduce temperature imbalances in your home. The most exciting benefit is seeing the difference in your energy bill!
-- REDUCE GLARE --
Excessive glare is one of the most common complaints that's easily addressed by window tinting. Lower glare means less eye strain and increased comfort when viewing television, doing computer work, or enjoying a morning cup of coffee!
-- EFFECTS OF VISIBLE LIGHT --
A common misunderstanding is that if a window film has a 35% VLT rating, it keeps out 65% of the visible light. Great news! NOT TRUE!
Window tint will reduce a small percentage of visible light, however, the human eye cannot register the difference. This is similar to a Polarizing Filter Lens on an SLR Camera. If you have ever used a Polarizing Photography Filter, you know how much more vivid images become without the glare.
You may be
more able to relate this concept to Ski Goggles.
A reduction of glare actually enhances your overall vision! Too much light creates eye straining glare. Lower glare allows the eye's pupil to function more efficiently and focus on an object more clearly which enhances depth perception.
It's really that simple. Less glare = better eye performance!
-- SAVE ON ENERGY COSTS --
Lowering the BTUs blasting into your home will result in less work for your HVAC system. This can lower your energy bills more than you think! Think of it in these terms: One BTU is the amount of solar energy
needed to heat One Pound of water by One Degree Faranheit. That's a lot of energy, and some of our window films can lower the BTU intrusion by as much as 100 BTU! A simple test can show the difference. And, when you consider
how much Square Footage your windows expose to the outside elements, your HVAC System is overworked maintaining your interior environment without window tint!
Not only will window tint lower your energy costs, it'll also allow a lower load on the electrical grid, which will
help reduce environmental strains created by overloaded power plants. Just one more thing to think about...
-- HIGHER PRIVACY --
Decorative privacy films can subtly change the look of your home immensely increasing Curb Appeal! Decorative architectural films are a guaranteed way to provide additional privacy while allowing natural views of the outdoors.
-- BOOST YOUR SAFETY --
Window films can help hold together shattered glass during a hurricane or severe storm. This can help keep dangerous glass shards and wet weather from entering your home minimizing weather damage. Heavier security films can also make it more difficult for a thief to smash through a window, thereby providing an additional crime deterrent, and giving you valuable time to arm yourself if needed.
-- PROTECT AGAINST SKIN CANCER --
Untinted windows allow nearly all of the Sun's harmful UV radiation to enter your environment which could damage your skin. By reducing up to 99.9% of UV rays entering your home, window tint acts like sunscreen at the beach. It'll protect your delicate skin while allowing you to bask comfortably in sunlit areas. In fact, the Skin Cancer Institute now recommends window tinting as a measure against indoor exposure to dangerous UV rays. The same recommendation as in automobiles!
