We all know that windows add distinction, elegance and light to any home or business. Here at Audio Designs & Custom Graphics, we love the look they provide. However, window panes can also be a great source of heat loss in the winter or heat gain in the summer. You may be faced with the options of adding window treatments or installing replacement windows to minimize this problem. There is, however, another option to consider: window tinting! Besides sun control, residential/business window film can also do much to manage security concerns.
Here are six benefits to having us tint your windows:
1. Increased Efficiency
Window tinting will reduce heat and air conditioning loss through your windows, so it lowers your energy bill. How does it work? Window film helps to block the transfer of heat through the glass, so it keeps heat out in the summer and inside during the winter. Your ventilation system does not need to run as often, so your energy bill drops. Your house or business will stay at a more consistent temperature, making it more comfortable for the occupants.
2. UV Protection
It protects carpets, drapes, furniture, artwork and displays from fading. We all long to have natural light fill our rooms, but the sun’s hamful UV rays can cause expensive damage. The window films from Audio Designs & Custom Graphics will block 99% of the UV rays currently coming through your windows.
3. Safer
Tint makes windows safer, preventing injury and damage from broken glass. When a window breaks that does not have protective film, glass fragments are sprayed throughout the room, creating the risk of personal injury to any occupants. The resulting hole allows rain or snow to enter the building and cause damage. On the other hand, windows with security film will see the glass stay attached even when broken. The tint film also makes the glass stronger so it has a higher breaking point.
Hurricane-rated film takes this protection to the next level – it is a thicker-gauge film that offers greater protection from violent storms and natural disasters.
4. Reduced Glare
You will see a large reduction in glare, which is always a good thing.
5. Privacy
Privacy is another benefit. Many times, adding window tint means there is no need for drapes or a privacy fence, as the film can accomplish the same benefits.
6. Decorative
Window film can also be decorative. We can dramatically change and enhance the look of any room with our wide array of decorative films.

Zequek Estrada says
Maybe my sister’s work could use tinted windows. She had popped right into my mind as I was reading the increased efficiency section. She has been telling me that she has a hard time working because of the heat that coming through the windows of her office.
Olivia Nelson says
I like your advice on how tinting your windows in your home helps your carpets and furniture from fading. I would imagine that investing some money in getting some key windows tinted could really help preserve the inside of your home. My husband and I are remodeling so maybe we should consider getting our windows tinted as well.
Darren says
Hey Olivia! Yes, it absolutely does! I can’t tell you how many houses we’ve tinted and moved furniture to see how faded they were by seeing the true color on the backside that faced the wall. It’s 2 completely different colors!
Maggie Allen says
I really like the fact that window tinting can add so much efficiency to the office. If that’s the case, then it sounds like I should get something like this for my home. I know I would like to get my monthly bills lowered. Plus, I like that it offers security benefits.
Jake says
Great article. It would be really interesting to see some statistics about the amount of money that you save over time on utility bills when tinting your home or office windows, so that it could be determined when it will “pay for itself.” You don’t happen to have those statistics broken down do you?
John says
My wife and I have a lot of windows in our home, and our energy bill is fairly high for a home of our size. I think a lot of our heat and air condition is lost through our windows. According to the article, window tinting can help lower that loss. I think that would be great for someone like us because we love the amount of natural light we get from all our windows and could really use some increased energy efficiency as well.
Cole Maxwell says
Ya, obviously the benefits of home window tinting are wide ranging. Open windows allow natural lightening, warmth and also the view of the outer world. But sometimes it can high energy costs and heat build up etc. So, I think it is a good idea to tint the windows. Some of the benefits of window tinting are given below.
1)It allows bask in the sunlight.
2)It reduces heat and glare.
3)It lessen the effect of harmful UV rays.
4)It is an affordable alternative to the window replacement.
4)It protects us and also our family. Etc.
Thanks for sharing.

My husband is wanting to add tint to the windows on our house, but I want to make sure that there are benefits of having this done. I like how you said that using this will make windows safer, and prevent injury from broken glass. It will be great if our glass is stronger even if the window might get broken.
Ridley Fitzgerald says
I love the benefits you list that come from window tinting. It’s great to know that putting them in would eliminate the need of drapes. We enjoy our privacy, so I should look for this.
Rosie Beckett says
My sister is thinking about getting the windows of her office building tinted and I did not realize there are so many benefits of window tinting so I am glad that I found this article. It makes sense that tinting will reduce the loss of air conditioning and heat through the windows. This would help to save a lot of money on the energy bill and would make it cost-effective for my sister’s office in the long run so I will make sure to share this information with her.
Thomas Westgren says
I like how you said that window tinting is handy for your home because it can add some privacy without needing a fence or drapes. My wife and I are planning on buying a home sometime soon and we really don’t love the idea of a fence. Getting a window service to come and tint our windows for us seems like a much easier way to get the privacy that we want.
Erika Brady says
It’s great that this article explains how you can lower your energy bill using window tinting, since it can reduce the heat and air conditioning loss. In order to prevent the most loss, it would probably be a good idea to find a local company that offers quality services. This could ensure that you can get the right level of window tinting to reduce loss so you can keep your building at a comfortable temperature and brightness.
