Sweating Your Electric Bill? Don't!
-- Posted: August 18,2007 | Jim Davis
Home energy audits are quickly becoming one of the most sought after services by owners of new and existing homes. Utility bills, especially electricity, continue to increase and are now second only to the mortgage payment in home ownership costs. Energy audits identify various ways to increase the efficiency of the home and reduce energy bills. One of the most common and cost effective audit recommendations is window tinting.
Professionally applied window tinting has several benefits. Window film offers protection from the sun against heat, glare and fading while maintaining the full appeal of an unobstructed view. It also increases indoor comfort while protecting draperies, fabrics, carpets and furniture. Window film is a high performance polyester film with metallic coatings bonded by adhesives that provide significant solar insulation for all types of glass.
Three Great Reasons for Window Film:
Reduce A/C Bills Up to 30% & Lower Room Temperatures up to 15 degrees
Clear glass transmits solar energy and also allows heat to escape, boosting utility costs year-round. Window films act as thermal shields, reflecting the hot sun in summer and insulating against inside heat loss during winter. You'll cut both air-conditioning and heating costs as you conserve energy, yet the beauty outside your windows is unchanged. Window films will keep you cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reduce uncomfortable solar "hot spots" in your home, and reduce annoying and distracting glare. You get the light, but reduce the heat and glare.
Reduce Fading on Fabrics & Furniture
The same sun that brightens a home's interior can be the death of fabrics, furnishings, artwork, and rugs. Window films screen out 99.9% of the damaging ultraviolet rays that can turn rich colors into faded dreams.
Added Strength & Security to Your Windows
Window films add a welcome degree of shatter resistance to the glass areas in your home. These films bond to glass and help hold dangerous glass fragments in place should breakage occur due to accident, natural disasters, or illegal entry.
