Most people associate tinted windows with businesses or cars; however, tinted windows can also work really well on homes. Here are the two main benefits that come with tinting the windows of your home.

Increased Privacy During The Day

It can be great to have big, picture windows in your home. However, the big downside to having a lot of great, big picture windows is that you have to cover them up with blinds during the day in order to get any privacy. If you want to enjoy the view from your windows during the day while also enjoying some privacy, you can have your big picture windows tinted.

During the day, when someone tries to look into their windows, they will look dark. You will be able to go about your day without worrying about people observing you through your window. 

During the evening, your tinted windows will be a bit more reflective. Looking from the outside, someone could see shapes moving inside. For complete privacy, you would want to use blinds or curtains at night as well, but you could keep your windows open and clear during the day. 

In order to ensure your privacy, you'll want to look into how dark the tint is. The darker the tint, the more privacy that you will enjoy inside of your home. 

Increase Your Energy Savings

If your home gets hit with a lot of direct sunlight, residential window tinting  is a great way to reduce the heat that your home gains during the summer months. Heat gain through your windows greatly heats up your home and causes you to use your air conditioning more during the summer months. This also drives up your energy costs.

Having your windows tinted will reflect away the sunshine that hits your house. This will reduce the amount of heat that your home gains during the summer months. Your heat will not get as hot from the sunlight. You will not need to run your air conditioner nearly as much when you have tinted windows to help keep your house cool. 

If you want your tinted windows to keep your house cool, you need to make sure that you install film that has a low solar heat gain coefficient. Tis will reduce the amount of heat that is transmitted into your home. You should also look for film that is described as having solar reflectance characteristics. This will help reflect the heat away from your home windows as well.

If you want to enjoy more privacy and a cooler home, you should look into having the windows on your home tinted.
