5 Benefits of Window Tint and Window Film  

Window tint and window film is a thin coating that is artfully installed on windows in your home. It can be frosted, opaque, a photograph or a custom designed graphic that covers the window. Think of it as sunglasses or artwork for your home. The demand for window film increases year over year, as it offers a multitude of benefits. Today, we will discuss five of them. 

 Privacy 

One of the main reasons’ homeowners ask for window film is to create a privacy window or windows. People often get tired of snoopy neighbors looking into their home through windows or glass doors, or desire privacy without having to close the blinds; especially during the day. Tinting your windows is the perfect solution! It blocks wandering eyes, while allowing you to see out.  

Blocks UV Rays 

Edmonton may be a city known for its winters, but that doesn’t mean we stop getting UV rays. In fact, it can increase during the season as the rays bounce off the snow and into your home. Overexposure to UV rays can cause skin damage and window tint blocks these rays, which helps protect your skin.  

Cuts Energy Costs in Your Home 

Whether you have your air conditioning or heat pumping, your house consumes energy, which is a cost to you. Window film helps block out excess heat from coming into your home. At the same time, it traps the heat within your home. This allows you to stay at an optimal temperature inside, and not be affected by the outside weather to the same degree as those who do not have window tint. Studies have shown that window film is one of the most cost-effective ways to lower your home energy costs.

Protects from Sun Damage 

Without window film the belongings in your home, such as art on the walls or furniture, are at considerable risk of sun damage and fading. Anything in your home that is in direct sunlight and does not move, will suffer sun damage over the years. By blocking excess UV rays, window film protects your valuables from suffering this costly fate.
