While you may have been aware that window tinting prevents your interior from fading, you may not have been aware that tinting can also save you money on your energy bills. Since window tint works be blocking the transfer of heat, it will keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, resulting in lower utility bills. On top of all the practical benefits provided by window tinting, you’ll also love the aesthetic appeal of our finest films, since they provide a wonderful and functional solution to window covering problems.
Reflective Film
This very popular type of window tint creates a mirror effect, in which you can see out during the day, but no one on the exterior can see in. In addition to its value as a privacy screen, a mirror reflective film will reject up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, and up to 80% of heat, or the total solar energy which would otherwise enter your home through your windows. A common misconception is that this is a one way tint. The sunlight hitting the exterior of the windows is what provides the reflective nature of the film. At night, when the situation is reversed, and its dark outside, the film loses its reflective quality. Coupling window treatments with a reflective window tint gives you privacy day and night!
Non-reflective Ceramic Window Film
Non-reflective ceramic films offer a much clearer view of the exterior than reflective films. They lack the kind of shiny metallic exterior that would be associated with a metallic reflective film, and they allow light to enter into the interior while blocking heat.
This gives you a clear view both day and night, with no obstructions. Ceramic film has superior technology which is non-corrosive and lasts the longest of any kind of window tinting system. Being made with the same kind of technology used by NASA for the heat dissipation of tiles on its shuttles, this kind of window tinting is superior and longevity.
