Window tinting is growing in popularity after consumers are increasing getting aware of its benefits.

What is Window Tinting?

Window tinting is the process of applying window tint films that are thin laminate films to the interior or exterior of the glasses present in cars, trucks, buildings and houses. The films are usually made from Polyethylene Terephthalate, PET, materials which is a thermoplastic polymer resin.

Window tinting is now done for both commercial and residential purpose, but both of them usually provide same advantages for both of these category of consumers.

Benefits of using tinting glass

Due to numerous benefits offered by tinting films, these are being widely adopted in residential and commercial window tinting. These benefits are:

1. Heat reduction

These films are terrific when it comes to reflecting sunlight back from sun or other source. Sunlight is made up of many light rays of different wave lengths. Infrared is one of them and is the one responsible for heat and warmth when we stand outside in the sun.

In residential window tinting, to keep sun’s heat out of the building, a low-emissivity coating is usually applied to the inside pane of the windows. These also increase building insulation by limiting the heat coming inside the building, thus reducing electricity bills on air conditioners.

2. UV Filtration

As stated in the previous point, sunlight is composed of many different wave lengths. One of them is UV or Ultra-Violet. These rays have high energy and are harmful for both humans and buildings. Long exposure to them can cause color fading in building walls or other materials, while prolong exposure can lead to severe medical cases like skin cancer in humans and animals.

This applying these films in your window glasses becomes extremely vital. Specialized tinting films offered by Tint Wrap USA have the capability to filter out over 99% of UV rays.

3. Safety and security

Some films like see-through graphics when applied with perforated window film, can make it visible from one side but not from the other side. These help you keep an eye on outside of your residential or commercial property without being noticed.

Specialized films like security films when applied to glass makes it harder for someone to break it. The films hold together even when the glass is broken, making it difficult for thieves and intruders to break in.

4. Privacy

By applying these window tinting films to your windows, you can be doubly sure of your privacy as   these reduce transparency.

5. Reduce Electricity Bills

All the electrical appliances installed in the building for cooling or heating purposes consume energy. When more and more heat enters the building, air conditioners work harder to keep the place cooler, thus eating up more energy and also your pocket. Same thing can be said about heating appliances when heat goes outside buildings.

By applying these window tinting films, you do yourself and environment a favor by consuming less energy which translates into less electricity bills and more savings.

With the benefits offered, it’d indeed be a wise decision to get windows of your automotive, commercial building or residential property tinted. Tint Wrap USA is a professional Window Tinting company located in Boca Raton.
