1. Reduce heat & glare from the sun
Protection from the heat is one of the biggest bonuses of having your house windows tinted. The harsh Aussie sun is known for penetrating through the glass and turning our homes into hothouses, and window tinting can block more than half the amount of heat from entering your home. Enjoy a cooler home in the summer and a warmer home in the winter, making days spent indoors a lot comfier!
2. Lower energy usage and bills
Since window tinting can both keep heat out in summer and trap it inside in winter, you’ll be using a lot less energy on air conditioning, fans, and heaters. More than half of the sun’s heat will be kept out of your home with tinting, helping manage internal temperatures so much better. Using less energy is great for the environment but even better for you since it means lower bills at the end of each quarter.
3. Block UV rays
Heat is one thing, and UV rays are another. Ultraviolet rays or UVR can cause skin cancer and increase visible signs of ageing, like wrinkles. You don’t have to be outside to be exposed to harmful UV radiation, it can penetrate through glass and sneak into your home. Window tinting is able to filter out up to 99.9% of UV rays, keeping your home safe from UV ray damage, sunburn, and skin cancer.
4. Enhanced privacy
Window tinting is often associated with being dark or reflective, offering great privacy while allowing you to keep the curtains open and enjoy some sunlight. These days there are all kinds of window tints available, including crystal clear film with high visibility that makes it look like there’s no tint at all. But if you’re looking for privacy and security in your home then a dark or reflective screen tint is perfect for the job. You’ll be able to look out and enjoy the views, but nobody will be able to see into your home.
5. Stop furniture from fading
UV rays do more than just wreak havoc on our skin. They’re also responsible for the fading of furniture and flooring, which can often happen without you noticing. Over time, wooden floors, leather sofas, and rugs can all be affected by the sun’s harsh light filtering through your windows. Vibrant colours will fade into more neutral tones, and eventually, lose their brightness over time. By blocking out more than 99% of UV rays, window tinting can help extend the life of your furniture and fabrics, keeping them looking better for longer.
6. Safety precautions
One of the least appreciated aspects of window tinting is the fact that they can add extra security and durability to your windows. Both accidents and natural disasters can cause windows to shatter and break, leaving behind shards of glass and debris that can cause personal injury and damage. In cases of extreme weather, broken windows will just introduce your home’s interior to more water, wind, and damage.
Security window tinting creates a tough barrier that helps keep glass together under even the roughest extreme conditions, keeping you safe from both flying glass and the elements. This added strength can even help keep your windows in case of theft, helping keep glass together even when it’s been deliberately struck.
