Home window tinting saves energy

When you think of tinted windows, it’s usually cars, rather than your home, that come to mind.

But your home can also benefit from the privacy, security, energy savings and value that tinted windows provide when used on your car.

Window tinting film comes in different formats and price ranges; and you won’t lose sight of the view out your windows.

Plenty of benefits 

A tinting film will insulate, absorb and reflect heat and light, which equals cooler rooms in summer and warmer rooms in winter.

With this benefit comes lower energy bills and, with less UV rays and sunlight glare entering your home, you will also protect your furnishings.

Using safety tinted films ensures increased security and protection from burglary and natural weather disasters, plus you may also love the extra privacy and noise reduction if your home is built close to your neighbours.  

Choosing the right tint

With a multitude of tinting films to choose from, you’ll need to think carefully about what type is best for your property.

You may decide to install several different films in your home, depending on how much sunlight your rooms receive during the day, and during different seasons. 

Your window type also needs to be compatible with your preferred film and of course, your budget will be important in this decision.

Clear film is a great low-cost option, or you can choose a darker film for greater privacy.

Solar control film may appear to be clear, but it comes with reflective materials and thus blocks out UV rays, heat and glare.

Security and safety film is far thicker than other types, ensuring a high glass shatter resistance necessary for protection against burglary and weather disasters.

Or, you may prefer to go for a decorative film, which combines a number of properties from the other products with options to personalise your style, including adding graphics and logos.
