When people think of windows, they may think of installing new storm windows, energy-efficient ones, or window treatments. However, homeowners can also benefit from a window tinting service. If you’re unsure about window tinting, read on for the following signs that you may need it.
Fading
There’s nothing like beautifully painted interior walls, but has the once vibrant color begun to fade in certain rooms? What about your carpets? Are carpets and furniture fading, especially those that are near the window? Fading color anywhere in your home may be due to excessive UV ray exposure. According to our internal resources, window tinting services can block 99% of harmful UV rays. If you decide to upgrade those fading aspects of your home, such as your paint or carpets, window tinting can protect their color.
High Energy Bills
When excessive UV rays are allowed to enter your home, it can make your home harder than normal. As a result, your HVAC system may be working overtime to keep your home cool. The more energy your HVAC system burns, the higher those bills will go. When your heating and cooling system works overtime, it can also decrease its lifespan. Therefore, a window tinting service can reduce the likelihood that you’ll have to replace your unit sooner than necessary.
Privacy
When it’s a beautiful day outside, you should freely open the blinds, curtains, or shutters. However, you may be afraid to open your windows the way you’d like to because of privacy concerns. If you live on a busy street or have nosy neighbors, you may be extra cautious about who can see into your home. Luckily, window tinting can give you the privacy that you need while still allowing you to comfortably see what’s going on outside.
Glare
Do you work from home and find it difficult to use your computer during certain times of day? What about watching TV during the daytime? If you have any type of screen, such as a computer or TV, you may be dealing with excessive screen glare when the sunshine is coming in at its highest point. Tinting can provide relief from such glare, so you can work on your computer, do research, or watch a movie in peace in the daytime.
Tinting is another window treatment that could benefit your overall quality of life. Protect your privacy, prevent glares, and reduce energy bills. To find out more about this type of service, contact our team for consultation.
