How window tinting your home can save you money

Summer is on its way, and it won’t be long before we’re sitting inside with the air conditioner going full blast because it’s just too hot to go out. Here is one way you can avoid making a massive hole in your bank account.

Window tinting is when you add a layer of thin film to the inside of your windows.

How does window tinting save money?

  • High quality window tinting blocks 99% of UV rays from entering your home. It can also help to reduce solar heat gain in your home by up to 80% which means your air conditioner will get less use during summer - keeping costs down.  
  • UV rays from the sun can take their toll on your furniture, carpets, and curtains. Curtains, carpets, and fabric sofas can fade and look dull, while leather and plastic can crack (and also fade).  Window tinting will prolong their life, so you won’t have to replace them sooner rather than later.
  • Window tinting is a cost-effective alternative to the expense of having old and inefficient windows and frames replaced.
  • Having your windows tinted will pay for itself over time, with the savings you’ll make on your energy bills and replacement furnishings.  
  • Window tinting also helps in winter. Heat loss through windows accounts for a large percentage of energy usage when it’s cold. Window tinting can help minimise this heat loss by trapping the heat inside your house, keeping you toasty warm without the horrifying bill.
