Tinting: not just for cars

While our minds might immediately jump straight to the world of automobiles and car window tinting when we think about tinting, you can also give the windows in your home the tinted treatment. Available in a range of different finishes, window tints offer a host of advantages that can help protect your home and the valuables within.

One of the most popular reasons people tint their windows is to minimise heat. The sun may be great at keeping our tans topped up, but it can have a damaging effect on furniture, flooring and decorations. If you want to keep those precious appointments to your pad looking just as good as the day you bought them, think about investing in a window film that possesses a high ultraviolet light rejection percentage. Some films are so effective they can block out a whopping 99% percent of the ultraviolet rays the sun beams earthwards.

Aside from prematurely ageing your upholstery, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rate can have a serious impact on your health. The main culprit behind sunburns and a leading contributor to the risks of skin cancer, radiation from ultraviolet light is a recognised carcinogen in humans. To limit your exposure and ensure you stay fighting fit, one of our home window films would make an ideal addition to your room. The films come in a variety of styles and finishes: darker options will help eliminate glare almost completely, while lighter films will give you all the benefits outlined, as well as the benefit of lots of natural light.

We know it doesn’t bear thinking about, but from time to time windows do break. Whether it’s due to a penalty shootout in the back garden gone horribly wrong or vandalism, accidents can and will happen. Luckily, with a cut window film you can reduce the risk of shattering and help keep yourself and your family safe. The film itself acts as a kind of protective barrier, keeping glass shards contained and out of harm’s way.

So, next time you think about car window films, spare a thought for the window’s in your home, as well. It really can make a difference.
