FAQ's On Finding A Quality Window Tinter
Why Tint Your Windows?
Once you talk to one of our 1-800-Tinting experts about the many benefits of window film, you'll find it much simpler to determine and decide which product best suits your needs and budget. Be it automotive, residential or commercial, here are the most common and viable reasons for tinting glass:
- Heat. The summer sun’s heat can be brutal. Did you know that windows are the number one cause of heat gain in most of today’s residential and commercial structures? With modern tinting technology, we are able to provide invisible protection which can reduce up to 79% of the sun’s heat and reduce cooling costs by up to 30%.
- Glare. The second most common reason to apply window film is to get rid of annoying glare. Today's tints are created to reduce glare while enhancing the view. When the sun hits glass it causes refraction and light displacement decreasing comfort, creating glare and distorting views. Windows are meant to be looked out of and enjoyed, not covered up by blinds and drapes.
- Fading. The sun’s UV rays create havoc on interiors and furnishings. Today's window films can provide up to 99.9% UV protection. Whether it’s expensive furnishings, the dashboard of an automobile or restored wood flooring you need to protect, there are a variety of films available today that will match your fading prevention needs.
- Security. These are window films products designed to prevent shattering and add an extra level of safety to your glass. In times of natural disaster, vandalism, or accidental damage, it is an added measure to prevent flying debris and broken glass. Security film strengthens glass, helping to prevent breakage in the first place. In the event windows do shatter, it helps damaged glass hold together, much like a car windshield.
- Decorative & Privacy. The cost of stained, privacy or etched glass can be very expensive so decorative window film has become a very cost effective way to add privacy and style to windows. Installing decorative film allows for complete privacy without sacrificing the inflow of natural light with blinds or curtains and today there are hundreds of styles and designs to choose from.
