There are different types of residential window tinting that can be applied to your homes. You should know the benefits of each kind so that you can choose the appropriate window tint that suits your home.
Here are the 4 types of residential window tinting that you can install on your residential glass:
Decorative Film
Decorative film is the thinnest window film available in the market. It is used to design or enhance the look of your existing residential glass. These elegant and beautiful window films also offer privacy to the home owners and give your windows a distinctive classy look while reducing the glare in your interior.
You can achieve an impressive appearance without the expensive cost of eliminating and sandblasting the residential glass while still letting light pour through the windows and giving you privacy. If you want a perfect bathroom solution, you can have frosted glass installed. A frosted glass film can provide you privacy by blocking your neighbor’s view but still letting the sunlight in.
Solar Control (Low-E) Window Film
This is the type of residential window tinting that is cost-effective in protecting your belongings while also making your homes more efficient in using energy. Moreover, Low-E window films protect your home’s interior from the harsh UV rays. Window films can block 99% of the harmful and damaging UV rays. This means that your rugs, draperies, and furniture are protected from fading or from getting dried out.
If you want the best coverage, you should choose a residential window film that is approved by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Window Security Film
This kind of film protects your windows from possible accidents. If one of your home’s windows is broken, the window film will prevent it from shattering and avoid the shattered glass from flying. This means the people living in your home would not be injured because the shattered pieces of glass will remain intact on the window film.
A window security film can also prevent forced entry in your home. Intruders usually target your home’s doors and windows, so it is better to install window films on the glass. This will give the intruders a hard time shattering your glass which will make them change their minds about entering your home.
Storm Security Film
This type of residential window tinting film is perfect for homes that are located in storm-prone areas. This film has a special shatter-proof feature similar to a car’s windshield.
During a storm, the glass is more vulnerable, so the storm security film can help strengthen the glass by keeping the shards intact in case the glass is broken.
Choosing the right window film depends on your home’s needs and your location. Make sure to know what each type of film does so that you’ll know what film suits your home.
