Residential Window Tinting

In these days, there is nothing more vital than conserving energy. One small step

that you can take in this direction is to install window film on the windows of your

home. Read on below to know more on how residential window tinting can help

reduce your home's carbon footprint.

Block Sunrays

Latest window films are equipped to block up to 99 % UV sun rays. Since these

rays are majorly responsible for heating up the interiors of your home, installing

film can prevent heat and subsequently, reduce your air conditioning bills. In

addition to blocking these rays, window film also help in reflecting infrared and

visible rays. The more these rays are reflected, more is the energy saved. By using

films that block all the three kind of rays effectively, you can reduce heat in the

interiors of your home by 80 percent.

As of now, these high performance window films are used for residential tinting

and tinting commercial windows. For homes, ceramic films with up to 70%

percent heat rejection capability are used. However, since the last few years have

been characterized by extreme climate conditions, people have begun to install

high performance window film for the windows and skylights of their homes.

Factors That Influence Performance of Window Film

The performance of residential window tinting depends on several factors

including positioning and angle of windows, type of glass used for windows, cross

ventilation facility in the house and several others. For optimum performance, all

the windows of your home should be tinted. Since installing high performance

window film on all windows can be expensive, you can choose films of different

reflective capacities based on the orientation of windows in your home.

For example, windows located in the southern, western and eastern direction

receive the full brunt of hot morning, afternoon and evening sunrays. So, install

high performance films for these windows and skylights. Similarly, wall openings

that are not exposed to hot sun can be tinted using low performance tints.

Additionally, since rooms located on the ground floor of homes are cooler than

the ones on the upper floors, you can restrict high performance films to the upper

floors.

Tinting Does Not Compromise Aesthetics of a Home

Many people do not opt for residential window tinting fearing reduction in the

aesthetic appeal of the house. Such worries are unfounded because of the new

ceramic technology. Ceramic films are the newest trend in the window film

industry because they block a significant amount of heat while giving you the

clearest views and not changing the aesthetics of your home.

In order to minimize expenses on tinting without compromising on energy

savings, you should consult a professional residential window tinting company.
