How House Window Tinting Can Reduce Your Energy Bills & More

Window tinting is a wonderful invention that you need to start using in your home ASAP! Not only does house window tinting remove the harsh UV light from entering your home, but it also reduces the sun’s heat, glare and can reduce your energy bills.

House window tinting film filters UV radiation, solar heat and glare. Which means you’ll be cooler on sunny days and you’ll be protected from UV radiation that can lead to skin cancer. The reduction of heat entering your home also means you’ll be able to reduce your home cooling energy bills.

House Window Tinting Takes the Sting Out of Summer

Perth is one of the sunniest cities in the world and in fact it’s the sunniest city in Australia. On average Perth enjoys 147 sunny days, and 121 partly sunny days a year, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. All that sunlight is streaming in through your windows, including the dangerous UV light, that we go out of our way to avoid when we’re outside.

From a young age it’s drilled into us to “Slip, Slop and Slap” and what we’re now teaching our children is "Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide". Avoiding sunburn and UV rays is one of our highest priorities in summer but it doesn’t extend to when we’re inside our homes, and it should.

Without house window tinting, 100% of the sun’s UV rays are penetrating your home’s windows and reaching your family. Adding house window tinting will reduce the UV rays through those windows by up to 99%, that’s more than SPF 50 sunscreen.

Cool Your Home and Reduce Your Energy Bills

Anyone living in Perth knows the worst part of summer is trying to sleep after a sweltering day of heat. We use air conditioners, fans or anything else we can think of to reduce the temperature to get to sleep. All this means is that every time the thermometer goes up so does our power bill. Heat control window film could be the answer to our prays. House window tinting is a heat reduction method that you’ll only pay for once.

House window tinting can filter anywhere from 40% to 71% of the solar and thermal energy coming through your windows. This can make a huge difference to your home’s all over temperature. By reducing the solar energy entering your home, your house won’t get as warm and you won’t need to run your cooling devices for as long and on such a high setting.

Heat control window film will also insulate your windows to help keep your home at the temperature you want it. The insulating film will reduce thermal energy either entering or leaving your windows. Meaning you’ll stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Plus, you won’t need to run your heating and cooling devices on a high setting to maintain the temperature.

Reduce Glare in your Home with Window Tinting

If you’ve got an East facing home you’ll know the pain of the morning light in your eyes while you’re eating breakfast, and if you’ve got a West facing home you’ll know the frustration on trying to watch TV or use your computer whilst avoiding the afternoon glare. Make every room in your house more inviting by taking the glare out on the sunlight.

Glare can not only be annoying, but it can also be harmful. Everyone has a different tolerance to glare but it can lead to headaches, migraines and eye pain. At least it’s an annoyance that can prevent clarity on TV and computer screens.

House window tinting can reduce up to 82% on the sun’s glare through your windows. Meaning you can use every room in your house at any time of the day, without having to squint.

 

There are different levels of UV protection, solar heat reduction and glare reduction levels available in house window tinting. Speak to an ALLCOOL Window Films tinting expert for a free quote and house window tinting recommendations.
