What Are My Options?

Before you understand the benefits, you need to understand your options of what you can window tint and what types of window films are out there. 

What Can I Tint?

There are many options for you to window film. 

A popular option is for car window tinting. All cars have a certain window tint to them, but you can choose the percentage that works best for you. The only thing to consider is researching what the state requirements are for your car window film. If it is too dark, you can get pulled over. 

Another popular option is using window film for your commercial business. This can help the aesthetic of your business while also aiding in giving your employees more privacy.



Lastly, an option that a lot of people forget, is to window tint their homes. Residential window films may not be as popular as car window films, but it is just as viable of an option and offers lots of benefits.

What's Out There?

There are different types of window films to suit all of your needs. You need to consider what your main objective is for getting window films and which kind will best serve that. Let's talk about some popular ones. 

Glare

Glare reduction window film is a viable option if your house or business is in direct contact with the sun. 

Glare can be annoying and inconvenient when you are watching a show or reading a book, and sometimes can distract from a conversation with a loved one. By reducing glares, you reduce distractions and discomfort in your room.

In a business, glares can distract employees from accomplishing their work. It develops an uncomfortable work environment. Glare reducing window film can boost your employee productivity and client comfort.

UV Radiation

UV blocking window films can protect you from harmful radiation. UV radiation exposure can have long-lasting effects on your family and your employees if it is not properly handled. 

Normal windows cannot block enough sun and UV radiation from coming into your home or workplace. UV blocking window film can eliminate the chance of that happening and maintain a safer environment. 

You can choose a window film that has the right amount of UV blocking while also letting in the perfect amount of sunlight. 

Decorative

Maybe you just want to add a decorative aesthetic to your home or workplace.

You can choose translucent window film if your desire is to still see out and in, but protect you from the sun.

You can even choose colored or graphic window film to add a decorative and interesting touch to your environment.

Sometimes, people like the look at the darker tinted windows to add an aesthetic to their house and give them more privacy. 

The right decorative window film for you depends on the aesthetic you choose. 

Why Window Films?

Some people don't consider window films because they don't always understand the benefits it has. Let's talk about it. 

Keeping Your House Cool

Whether it's your car, house, or workplace, window films will keep your place cooler. This can increase your quality of life if you prefer a cooler environment to a hotter environment.

It won't give room for hot sunspots that can be uncomfortable for your family or employees, and it will make for a more relaxing environment. 

Bringing Down Those Bills

Tinting your windows can even add more privacy to your home or workplace.



For your family, this means creating a safer environment where outside people can't see into your home. You don't need to worry about the distractions of the outside or people seeing what you are doing.
