window tinting is also referred to as “solar window film.” It is a protective film that rejects heat and reduces the amount of infrared, visible light and 99.9% of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from entering your home or business windows.
The protective film also removes as much as 79% of the heat coming in, and inhibits fading of furniture, carpets and drapes. Additionally, it reduces glare and inhibits warping of your wood floors.
Another benefit you may not have thought about is child safety. Children are simply not as cautious as adults and are prone to accidents. Window film acts as a protective shield against broken glass. When glass breaks, it typically shatters and pieces become daggers. Window film keeps the pieces together and reduces the hazards of broken glass because the glass adheres to the film. While it won’t stop the problem entirely, it definitely helps.
There are also crime stopping benefits to window tint. Your windows and doors are the typical entry points for burglars, especially smash and grab thieves. If thieves can’t see in, they will be hesitant to break the glass. While tinted glass is no alternative to alarms and security systems, it adds one more small layer of home and business security. A discouraged thief will likely move on to an easier target.
