Window tinting is a very popular modification that is fast, affordable, and makes your vehicle look cooler than it does with clear glass windows. It also makes driving easier when the sun shines into your eyes. Window tinting is especially popular in states that traditionally get a lot of sunshine. According to IBIS World, California, Florida, and Texas are the states with the most auto window tinting businesses. But even here in Utah, folks want their cars to look great! Here are three top facts to consider if you are thinking of tinting your vehicle's windows.

1. Keeps Your Car Cooler

One of the greatest benefits of auto window tinting is its ability to make your car much cooler by filtering out almost all the sun's hot UV rays. The tint makes it harder for the sun to rapidly heat your vehicle's interior while it's parked in the open or while you are driving on the road. The cooler your car is, the less its air conditioning will have to work to keep you cool and comfortable while on the road. The less the AC runs, the less fuel your vehicle burns.

2. Improves Privacy While Driving

Tinted windows make it harder to see inside your vehicle while driving among tall pickups, semis, and other vehicles. When your car is parked, the tint makes it harder for pedestrians to see what you might have inside. You might have a cell phone, laptop, or other valuables inside your vehicle that are harder to see when the tint makes everything look dark inside the seating area. You can still see outside because the tint is designed to block the sun's rays and people looking in from the outside.

3. Requires Professionals for the Best Results

The concept of auto window tinting is fairly simple. You apply a film to the window that can last for the life of the car. Reality, though, says you need experienced professionals to deliver the best results and get the best value from the window tinting service. An experienced technician can ensure no air pockets are trapped between the tint and glass and the amount of tint is legal in your state or any other in which you might regularly travel.

What You Need to Know About Home Window Tinting

When the average consumer thinks about window tinting, in our experience, most people only consider tinting their vehicle's windows. However, there are a great deal of benefits to home window tinting. Here are a few things to know before tinting your house’s windows.

Numerous Benefits

Window tinting offers several benefits that any homeowner would enjoy. According to Grand View Research, window films mitigate around 30% of heat loss that occurs through home windows and doors. This also increases energy efficiency as another layer of insulation. The heat of the sunlight won't come into your home, allowing you to turn down that air conditioner.

Window tint also helps provide additional protection against UV rays, helping preserve furniture and flooring, both of which are known to fade with UV exposure. For binge-watchers and movie enjoyers, having tinted windows instantly eliminates the glare on your television. As you can see, the benefits are definitely worth the investment.

Enhanced Security

The privacy of your home is crucial to your safety and security. Neighbors and people walking by can easily see inside your house. Not only is that a privacy risk, but it also presents a risk to your safety. Just like investing in fencing, home window tinting will ensure other people can’t see inside your house. It's a purchase that offers you the safety and peace of mind you need to get a good night’s sleep.

Materials Available

You’ll quickly discover various types of window tint available for your house. Decorative film is designed to be aesthetically appealing while helping reduce glare. Privacy window tint is darker than the decorative tint because it ensures no one can see inside. Solar window tints are specifically made to catch UV rays, ensuring that they don't negatively affect the people or items inside of a home. These are especially useful if you don't currently have solar shades or trees providing shade for your home.

In our experience, installing window tint for your home is a simple process that can be completed in less than one day. Maintaining your home window tint is also an easy process.
