What You Get From Tinting Windows

By: Mike Lister

Tinting windows as we know is only commonly used in cars and offices since it can preserve the beauty of the glass and preventing too much light to penetrate and heat the inside of the cars and offices. However, because homeowners are continually finding ways on how to preserve their windows and make light just right that come into their rooms, tinting is also now being practiced. Tinting will not compromise the entrance of light but it can provide additional security and privacy to homes.

Most window tints are actually different from tints we used on cars. Home window tints are made up of thin films with a single layer or several layers of polyester base. These elements are coated on the interior side of the glass of the windows and then coated again with a strong adhesive so that the tint can become scratch resistant. Tints are used for several reasons depending on what the homeowner wants with his windows. Some people want it to put more appeal to their windows while others need it because of the protection and the privacy it gives to the people inside the house.

1.) Window tints are available in various shades and colours ranging from opaque to clear tint. If the right combination of colour and design is chosen, this can enhance the architectural design of any home. There are many benefits on having your windows tinted.

2.) It can protect your windows from getting too hot during summer while serving as an additional insulation during winter so it is more like an added feature for your home protection.

3.) In case of breakage that can happen during intrusion or accidental smack by a hard object, windows that are tinted will not be broken into many pieces. The shards that will be produced will not scatter all over the place but will be held in one column because the tint and the adhesive that is painted on the window will hold the broken glass in one piece. However, intruders will always have a second thought breaking the glass with tint because he cannot actually see if there are people inside the house.

4.Tint can protect furniture and other items from the UV rays. Sun rays when constantly goes through the untainted windows can cause fading to anything that the rays hit. Home window tinting can prevent this because the tint itself contains sum-barrier additives that can stop the entry of the sun’s UV rays.

5.For those who want to save on their utility bills especially with their air-conditioning, the tint can actually reduce the escape of cold air through the windows. The same things happen during winter when cold draught is most likely to seep into closed windows. If the draught cannot penetrate through the windows and the heat that is produced by our heaters cannot escape then this sums up to having a home that is energy efficient.

So if you will be willing to try window tinting, look for tints that can give you these protections or ask someone who is an expert on window tinting so you can have some advice on which window tint you should use.
