What Is Window Tinting and How Does It Work

Window tinting is a process by which a film is applied to the outside of a
window. This film can be clear or colored, depending on what you're going
for. The film helps block out heat and light coming in through the windows,
keeping your home or office space cooler in the summer and warmer in the
winter. It also makes it harder for thieves to see inside your house at night—
a fact that could make them think twice before breaking in!
How does window tint work?
Window tinting is applied with a special adhesive that bonds the film to the
window. The film has a metallic layer that reflects heat, keeping the interior
of your commercial property cooler in the summer and warmer in the
winter—which means you'll use less gas because you won't have to run your
heater or air conditioner as much. The film blocks out UV rays that cause
fading in upholstery and furniture. There are two types of window tint: dyed
(where color is added) and dyed-metallized (where color is removed). Dyedmetallized
films last longer than dyed ones because they block more light—
but they're less transparent than dyed ones so they don't let as much light
through while still protecting against UV rays.
