Your privacy and security are a priority when it comes to making your home a safe and welcoming environment. Many aspects that go into securing your home include alarm systems, security cameras, flood lights, and more. But one way you can secure your home more is by hindering their view into your home. Physically covering your windows using curtains, strategically placed plants, and shutters is one way to do this. However, it hinders your view as well as limits the natural sunlight coming in during the day. 

This is where decorative and frosted window films can assist you. At Custom Glass Tinting Inc. we offer numerous designs from the 3M Fasara Glass Finishes Collection. These films come with a variety of designs and finishes including textured, etched, and treated glass without the additional cost of full glass replacement. In addition to offering privacy and security, these window films also bring many more benefits to the table making it a higher quality investment. 

Growing up, we were taught to protect our skin and bodies with sunscreen and accessories to shield us from sun damage. However, many don’t realize that the same damaging UV rays can find their way into our homes through our windows. By installing window film onto your windows, you can block those UV rays to protect your interior furnishings as well as yourself and loved ones. 

In addition to protecting you and your home from UV rays, it also hinders the amount of sunlight coming into your home without removing the warmth of natural light. This significantly reduces the glare on electronic screens as well as the temperature in the room making it more comfortable while still retaining sunlight.

Comfort, efficiency, and security are just a handful of reasons why you should consider getting window film professionally installed on your home windows. It can be an expensive investment, but the benefits make it well worth the effort. Here are just some of the reasons you should consider professionally tinting your windows:

Security

Home security is a key aspect to creating a welcoming and comfortable environment to live in. Adequate locks, alarm systems, and security cameras can all aid in this effort. However, many wouldn’t think of window film being another precaution that can be taken. Not only does it strengthen and reinforce your windows, but it also hinders the view of outsiders. This restricts them from viewing inside your home in order to survey the interior layout or to calculate the value of your personal items. 

Glare Reduction

Sunlight can bring warmth and brightness to a room with its natural glow. However, too much sunlight can get in the eyes or create a glare on electronic screens. Window tint can act almost like sunglasses, allowing you to see outside and enjoy natural light while reducing the amount coming into your home. 

Sun Damage Protection

When we spend long periods of time outside, we know to put on sunscreen and wear protective accessories like hats and sunglasses. However, the same UV rays that we protect ourselves from outside can find their way into our homes. Windows allow natural light to come in, but they also allow these rays to stream in. Window tint can protect your eyes, skin, and even interior furnishings from damage and decay by blocking these rays while still allowing sunlight to come in.

Lower Your Energy Bill

During the hot summers, we can find our AC units struggling to keep up with the heat of the snu outside. Windows can allow this heat to penetrate our home while also allowing cool air from inside escape. Window tint can prevent this by reducing the heat while also keeping the cool air indoors. This will not only cut down on the amount of energy you use to cool your home, but it can also reduce your monthly energy bill allowing you to save money every month.
