Is Tinting House Windows Really Worth It?

In hot weather, solar-control films can reject anywhere from 50-80% of the solar energy coming through your windows. This is NOT THE SAME as blocking 50-80% of your light! The film blocks the light outside the visible spectrum, which means that there is NO DIFFERENCE in the light levels coming into your home! Your rooms remain bright and cheery, but now they’re not as hot.

Not only does this increase your own comfort when sitting in these rooms during the heat of the day, this cuts down on your utility bills by A LOT — around 5-10% of your total yearly bills. Your window films pay for themselves in just a few years, and then keep saving you money for decades down the road!

Another major perk of solar-control films: They block Ultra-Violet light. Yep, the same kind that can damage your skin if you’re out in the sun too long, over time it can also fade your curtains, your hardwood floors, your couches and other furniture. These items are worth far more than the cost of window films, and once they are bleached or yellowed from the intense sun, they cannot be fixed. Don’t let this happen to you!

When applied correctly, window tinting is completely unnoticable. However, improperly applied window tinting leaves unslightly bubbles and wrinkles, and the film can also lift or peel around the edges over time. Have you ever had difficulty applying a screen protector to your phone? Now imagine that, but 50 times as big. Trust us, it’s well worth it to hire a professional to apply this film for you.
