Keep Your Home Cool This Summer

By Lauren Kruse, owner, Tint World Kennesaw

As Georgia temperatures start to rise, window tinting is a smart choice for your car, home and office. Window tinting was once only considered a luxury accessory for your car to give privacy (i.e.: limousines and private cars), but today window tinting is something everyone should consider for not only their car, but also for their home and office. Home window tinting offers several benefits and can enhance your living space:

Comfort and Energy Efficiency: Tinted windows can significantly reduce heat transfer, keeping your home's interior at a comfortable temperature without overworking your cooling system. This translates to lower energy bills in both summer and winter, as window films can reduce up to 85% of the sun’s solar heat.

UV Protection: Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial, but did you know that window tinting can also safeguard your furniture and flooring from sun damage? UV light can either fade or darken wooden furniture, depending on the type of wood. It can also cause fading, discoloration, and deterioration of other materials, especially textiles like upholstery and carpets, as well as wallpapers, photographs, and artwork. By blocking UV rays, tinted windows prevent fading and prolong the life of your interior décor (can reduce 99% of harmful UV rays).

Enhanced Privacy and Security: Tinted windows offer an extra layer of privacy and security for your home. They make it more difficult for outsiders to see inside while still allowing natural light to filter through. This means you can enjoy privacy without sacrificing brightness in your living spaces.

By investing in window tinting for your home, you not only improve comfort and energy efficiency but also enhance privacy, protect your belongings, and add a decorative element to your living spaces. Stay cool, stylish, and protected this summer.
