Everyone has heard of people getting their car windows tinted, but did you know you can get the windows on your house tinted as well? If you’re wondering if getting the windows on your house tinted is worth it, or even just wondering what getting your windows tinted would even mean, let us fill you in on the effect it could have on your overall life.
Just What Does Window Tinting Your House Mean?
Tinting your windows is simply the process of applying films to the inside of your windows. These films are usually only millimeters thick and made with a polyester base. Depending on what you are trying to achieve with your window tinting, some films include multiple other layers that are also made of polyester on top of the base. Some films can be dyed, some have metal mixed into the base, some include special additives that are created by the manufacturer to achieve whatever goal you are going for with the window tinting. The possibilities of what you can achieve through window tinting are endless.
Why Tint Your Windows?
There are many different reasons one might choose to look into window tinting as a way to improve their house and their life. From keeping your family safer to lowering your energy bills, the reasons vary from person to person.
For Privacy
Though some tints aren’t made in a way that prevents people from looking into them, there are some that are. If you’re tired of nosy neighbors or just want to deter potential robbers from being able to see through your windows, there are tints available that will turn your windows into a mirror-like surface and prevent people from being able to see inside your house.
For Safety
There are other films that are made to help reinforce your windows, so they are less susceptible to damage from storms or people trying to break in. If something were to happen that would potentially damage your window, this type of tint reinforces the window and prevents it from shattering completely. Usually, the damage is limited to a large crack rather than the entire thing being shattered. This buys you more time in the event of an attempted break in, and helps prevent injury in the event of a nasty storm.
To Keep Your Energy Bill Down
One of the more popular reasons people tint their windows is to help with their energy bill. Tinting your windows can help keep the sunlight out, so if you live in a warm environment and constantly need to run your air conditioning because of all the heat that comes in with the sun, tinting your windows can help lower your bills by keeping the heat out. There are also films that can be made to keep heat inside, if you live in a cooler environment. Though if you live in a place that gets hot and cold, it would be wise to pick your films carefully and really think about what the different ones will do for your energy bill depending on the season, and whether it’s worth it during other seasons.
Because They Look Nice
There are even window tints out there that are simply decorative. If you want to add a little something extra to the exterior of your house without committing to a new paint job, you can always pick out a tint that just looks nice to you.
