Windows let the light in, but that same light can cause problems. Excessive glare, heat build-up and high energy costs as you’re forced to run the air conditioner more often to stay comfortable are just a few of the obvious issues. Sunlight can also damage carpeting, wood floors and furniture causing fading and bleaching. Residential window tinting with films can help control and eliminate these problems while providing increased comfort, lower overall energy costs and protecting valuable possessions.
Windows always play a significant role in regulating heat and energy in your home. According to the EPA Energy Star Buildings Manual in the United States, approximately one-third of an average home's utility bills are wasted by heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer through untreated windows. These situations can become even more aggravated if you happen to have a lot of windows facing the South, West or North.
