Spring Is Here! Time to Start Thinking About
Residential Window Tint
Spring is finally here, and with it comes the promise of sunshine, long days, and beautiful weather you
just can’t help but want to be outside in. While all of this is great for your psychological health, overall
happiness, and nerves (cabin fever, anyone?) it isn’t so great for your utility bills.
There is, however, a way you can remedy the utility bill problem and still enjoy some stress-free fun in
the sun. Residential window tinting is the answer.
What is Residential Window Tint?
Residential window tint is exactly what it sounds like: tinting which can be placed on your home’s
windows. While everyone knows this can be done on vehicles, many homeowners are unaware they can
do this to their home also.
There are several distinct types of tinting you can utilize in your home. Some homeowners prefer to
choose decorative ones, which provide basic benefits alongside additional visual appeal. Other
homeowners prefer tinting which looks like their natural windows, while others enjoy obviously
darkened tint.
Whatever a homeowner’s individual preference, there are several key benefits provided by residential
tint. Continue reading to find out what those are.
What Are the Benefits?
There are several benefits associated with residential window tinting. Among others, these include:
Saving on utility costs: During the spring and summer, when the weather is warm, window tint can
successfully limit the amount of heat which enters your home by reflecting the sunlight. It also helps
keep cool air inside the home by offering an added layer of insulation. During the winter and fall it does
the opposite, by keeping heat inside and the cool air outside.
Protects your furniture: The main cause of fading in fabrics is ultraviolet light, which is exactly what the
sun produces. Window tint has the benefit of deflecting some of that light, so the fading on your
furniture is less. This increases the amount of time your items will be usable and keeps them looking
new. It isn’t only your furniture which is protected, however, but also your carpets, curtains, bedding,
and any other fabric items which may be located near windows.
Offers extra window protection: Residential tinting adds another layer of protection against broken
windows. There are even some tinting sheets designed exclusively for making windows shatter-proof.
This serves several purposes. For starters, it can add extra security to your home in the event of an
attempted break-in. It also helps those in close neighborhoods deflect stray balls from children playing.
In a natural disaster, it helps protect against airborne rocks, twigs, and other debris.
Depending upon the specific tint you choose, the following benefits may also apply:
Glare reduction

Added visual appeal
Additional privacy
Conclusion
With so many benefits, it is no wonder more people are turning towards residential window tint than
ever before. To start reaping these benefits for yourself, contact your local window tinting company for
