Perth is one of the most beautiful places to live
with it’s beautiful coastline stretches, relaxed lifestyle and the amazing
weather. Perth summers are renowned in Australia, but the scorching summer heat
and glare can take its toll on our homes. Window tinting your house windows is
one of the most affordable and effective ways of keeping Perth’s summer heat
out, to ensure you are comfortable and your home is protected.
Many home owners in Perth will often utilise large
span windows and doors, particularly if they’re trying to soak up a view.
Whilst large span windows look stunning, they come with lots of challenges such
as privacy, increased heat & glare in summer, furniture and wood floors
being exposed to harmful rays and keeping the home energy efficient. What’s
more, if your home is making the most of a view, you certainly don’t want to
cover this up with window treatments!
If your home windows are creating similar
challenges for you, here are some of the best benefits of house window tinting
in Perth to ensure your home is comfortable and protected in summer.
It’s safe to say that we’d all like to save as much money as we can on
our energy bills. Fortunately, tinting your house
windows
is an extremely cost-effective way to do this.
Tinting your house windows is a one-off installation cost vs installing
air conditioners that require an installation cost, in addition to the running
and servicing costs. For many households in Perth, summer means that our
cooling costs tend to spike, particularly if your home is orientated to allow
the heat to travel in. Window tinting will help to keep your home cooler during
the summer months, by rejecting up to 84% of the sun’s heat that is transmitted
through your house windows. Some window film products will also reject infra-red
heat, which is the heat you still feel even after the sun has set.
House window tinting that has solar control benefits is designed to help
lower your air conditioning costs by reducing the hot and cold spots created by
you air conditioner. This means your cooling systems won’t have to work as hard
to keep your home comfortable which can help you save on cooling costs by up to
30%.
For an ultimate energy saving experience, opt for a low-e window film
product as this will act like an insulation for your window, without the hefty
expenses of window glazing. The technology in low-e window films helps to
reject heat in summer, while creating an insulation in the cooler months
preventing heat loss through your glass by up to 40%. This means you can leave your
blinds or curtains open without worrying about the heat loss through your
glass. A great energy saving solution all-year-round!
Window tinting can also help to block up to 99% of harmful Ultraviolet
(UV) light. UV radiation from the sun can be very harmful and is the main cause
of sunburn, and skin cancers. Tinting your house windows will block these
harmful UV rays, providing extra protection for you and your family.
What’s more, window tinting can also help to protect your furnishings
and floors from fading and sun damage.
Aside from the fact that the sun’s heat is
uncomfortable and damaging to your home and family, the sun also creates glare
that can impact visual comfort for your TV screens and monitors. The great
thing about window tinting is that you don’t have to lock yourself away in a
dark home! Window tint can help you let in the natural sunlight without the
uncomfortable glare, meaning you can enjoy screen time in your home throughout
the day.
With advanced window film technologies, you can
also easily add privacy to your home with window tinting. If you have a
two-storey home that has clear visibility into another property or even a
single storey property with windows that are exposed to walking traffic, you
may consider window tinting to help retain your privacy. There are lots of
different options you can choose from to get the right look and feel for your
home. Frosting, coloured, and graphic window film, can be custom designed for
your windows to still allow enough light in your home, while providing privacy
day and night.
If you opt for darker or a reflective tint on your house windows, this
can give you great visibility looking out and day time privacy however, you
will still need to have curtains or blinds for privacy at night as the privacy
effects will be lost once the lights are on at night and it is dark outside.
While window tinting has many advantages for saving energy, creating a
comfortable environment at home and adding privacy, window film can also help
you enhance the look of your windows and home. There are lots of innovative
ways to use frosted window film to create more street appeal such as decorative
cut-out panels or patterned designs that cover all or part of your windows.
Graphic window film is also a great way to bring in colour or vibrancy into
your home without having to invest in expensive tempered or colours glass panels.
Using window tint as a decorative solution
in your home is also a great
way to increase the value of the home making it more attractive to potential
buyers. Most home owners or investors will place a lot of value on the appeal
and the long-term benefits of window tinting, such as energy saving and extra
security, which will turn your window tinting project into a value add if you
ever sell.

window tinting, and many of the products are not only one or the other. There
