How Window Tinting Can Benefit Your Home All Year Around

By now everyone knows the obvious benefits of heat control window film on your windows during the hot summer months. From stopping annoying glare on your tv screen to blocking harmful UV rays to keeping your house nice and cool, it just makes sense!

As we approach the cooler months we might not know how beneficial window tinting can be all year round, not just in summer.

The walls of our homes tend to be well insulated and as a result do a relatively good job at keeping the warmth inside our homes during the colder months. However, the glass in our homes does an even better job at letting all that warmth back out. In fact, your windows are responsible for letting out anywhere from 25% to 45% of warmth you successfully create inside your home. This inside to outside heat exchange also works the other way managing to let more cold air inside.

If you’re reading this don’t despair! Heat control window film otherwise known as solar window film is a relatively cheap and cost-effective solution everyone can employ in their homes. Window tinting does a great job at creating an extra layer of insulation creating a barrier, making it harder for the warmth to escape and for the cold to get in. The way in which this happens is by making it easier for the window or door to reflect light and ultimately the heat it carries. The same attribute also does a great job at ensuring less light can escape from the inside of your home when it’s darker outside.

Yes, the Australian climate can be extreme. Our reverse-cycle air conditioning systems may work harder than any other countries. Consequently, most Australian homes have very few days without utilising either a heat or cooling function to keep us comfortable and we pay for it!

Heat control window film can be a great solution to reducing the cost of your energy bill this winter. As previously mentioned window tinting works great at insulating your home and effectively containing the warmth. This means that your heaters can work more efficiently and effectively less during the winter months. Warmth you create over a short period will keep your house warmer for longer saving you money.

Let’s be honest, the savings that you notice month to month may only be small and you may hardly notice them some months. Compiled over the course of a year however, the savings do add up with most people saving a few hundred, others a few thousand! At the end of the day, it’s money in your pocket to spend on the things you want and you can take pride in making an environmentally conscious decision too.

So if you’re thinking of delaying getting your home windows tinted and justifying it by thinking “there’s no sun in winter” think again. Window tinting is a great solution to moderating your home temperature all year round, even in those colder months and the benefits speak for themselves.
