Residential Window Tint: An Affordable Green Building Solution

More and more homeowners are taking the environmentally responsible route and choosing green building materials for upgrading and repairing their homes. Incorporating green building materials into your home helps reduce harmful emissions fueled by excess electricity, natural gas and other energy sources from escaping into the atmosphere and contributing to global climate change problems.



Residential/commercial window tint provides a simple solution to improving your home’s energy efficiency without expensive and intrusive construction or repairs. There are several reasons to consider tinting your home or office windows.

UV Protection

Outdoors isn’t the only place you need to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful UV rays. UV rays can come directly into your home affecting your health and damaging fabric, flooring and furnishing over time. UV rays can cause curtains, sofas chairs and other furniture pieces covered with fabric to fade and deteriorate over time. It can also bleach carpet and hard wood flooring.

Tinted windows can effectively block up to 99% of UV rays from entering your home. This is also an affordable way to improve heat retention in your home while maintaining environmental responsibility.

Heat Reduction

Tinted glass in your home or business can keep the environment inside 15 degrees cooler during the summer months. That means you can keep your thermostat set higher which saves money over time. The tinted film covering the window panes blocks 70% of infrared radiation.

Tinted windows can also help you save money on your winter heating bills. The tint provides an insulation effect that helps keep heat indoors.

Glare Reduction

Believe it or not sometimes windows can prevent you from fully enjoying the view outdoors. The glare caused by light reflecting off the glass can make it difficult to see clearly. During certain times of the day window glare can be practically blinding.

Commercial/residential window tinting reduces daytime glare making it easier to see outdoors – it’s a lot like wearing sun glasses on a sunny day. The view is crisp, clear and much improved.

Color Variety
