Summer Window Tinting Benefits For Your Austin Home
Window Tint For Summer In Austin
Summer is on the horizon in Austin and that means–mother nature is about to turn up the heat! As the days grow longer here, so too do the temperatures, meaning higher energy bills as you crank up the A/C to keep up. However, extremely high energy bills do not have to be a reality for homes across the Austin area. In all reality, the power to control the environment you live in, while curbing skyrocketing energy bills in your home, is as simple as adding window tint to your windows. This saves you money and, as we know from experience, can make the summer months much more enjoyable. This is because one of the key benefits of window tint is solar heat gain reduction on the glass of your window itself. In fact, solar control window films can reduce 65% of the total solar energy that gets into your home. This alone lowers the temperature in your home before you even turn on the A/C.
The Benefits Of Window Tinting For Your Austin Home
Although a massive reduction in solar heat gain on your Austin home’s windows is fantastic, Window tinting is certainly not limited to one benefit. There are numerous benefits associated with window tint that are especially poignant in the summer months and beyond.
Benefits Like:
UV protection: Harmful infrared and UV rays can damage your skin and cause skin cancer. They are also responsible for fading and sun damage to artwork, furniture, and flooring. Solar control window films block out 99% of these destructive UV rays and 98.5% of harmful infrared rays, keeping your family and your valuables protected.
Glare Reduction: The sun shines longer and brighter in the summer and is more than just an annoyance. Entire rooms in your house may go unused to avoid the glare from the intense Texas sun. Window tinting blocks the annoying glare from the sun, making every room in your home usable year round
HVAC Maintenance Reduction: When your heating or cooling systems work harder to keep your home cool, they break down more often and require expensive repair. Window tinting keeps your HVAC from working as hard, reducing the frequency of breakdowns and repairs.
