Many homeowners become interested in residential window tinting in Ogden, UT, to block some effects of ultraviolet rays during the region’s hot, sunny summers. They may not realize that window tinting has significant benefits during the rest of the year as well.
Effects on Heat
Tinting not only blocks heat during the summer but holds heat inside during the winter. Both of these effects reduce energy costs. Tinting is an effective alternative to window replacement for older, drafty windows that let cold air in on breezy days.
Preventing Damage to Fabric
Residential window tinting in Ogden, UT, also offers the year-round advantage of decreasing harmful ultraviolet light rays that fade carpeting, window treatments and upholstered furniture. Fabric can gradually become brittle over the years due to damage from ultraviolet light.
Reducing Glare
Another aspect related to sunshine is a reduction in glare. This provides a more comfortable view to the outside without anybody having to change seats when watching TV or conversing with someone while facing a window. Glare also is disruptive when someone is working on a computer near a window.
Protection Against Glass Breakage
Because tint is applied in the form of window film, it provides some extra protection against glass breakage. The film does not make the window shatterproof against burglary attempts unless customers request this high-security product. Nevertheless, it can stop glass from breaking during more normal events like a branch hitting the window during windy conditions.
