The sun’s UV rays penetrate through the windows of your house. With prolonged exposure, your house furnishings, carpet, rugs, and upholstery can become faded and damaged. Window tinting offers a great solution for fading issues as it typically blocks 99% of the UV while still allowing you to enjoy your windows.

Window tint can act as a window insulator keeping heat out in the Summer and retaining heat in the Winter. This can help homeowners decrease their utility bills by reducing how hard their heating and air conditioning system needs to work to keep the house comfortable. With window tint, much of the sunlight and heat is blocked, allowing your home to stay at a consistent temperature and reducing your need to constantly run the HVAC system.

Many types of window films are available, with features ranging from additional UV protection to a tint that limits the view of your home from the exterior. If you’re looking for a little more privacy from people in the street, the right window film can shield the view from the outside. Window films can be used strategically throughout your home to offer additional privacy through certain windows without the need for blinds or curtains. 

Accidents happen and a window can be broken. When this happens with a typical home window, the glass breaks in a way that can be dangerous. Home window film can keep the broken glass in place and reduce the danger.

Windows on the ground floor are a common entry point for burglars. They simply break the glass and unlock the door or climb through the window to gain entry into your home, which puts you in a position of choosing the aesthetic beauty of your windows or the safety of yourself and your family.  While window tint can’t prevent forcible entry into your home, it does hold the glass in place longer and make entry more difficult. A few extra seconds could be enough to alert you or give your alarm system time to contact authorities, and it may even be enough to deter a thief altogether. This makes these types of films a perfect complement to a home security system.

At some point, nearly any window may need to be replaced, but by using home window films you may be able to significantly extend the useful life of your existing windows while achieving the benefits you desire.

Did you know that as much as one-third of a home’s heating and cooling costs can be lost through windows that are not energy efficient?  With home fuel costs going through the roof, you may be considering the purchase of energy-efficient replacement windows. But before you spend thousands of dollars, consider all the savings you’ll enjoy with architectural window film.

Architectural window film provides an affordable alternative to window replacement when your goal is to improve energy efficiency. Architectural films can help windows that are in good shape, but just not energy efficient. Damaged or deteriorating windows will need to be replaced.

Having a professionally installed window film applied is less costly and far less disruptive to your home than window replacement.

Office facilities are refreshed and replaced frequently and at great expense, as soon as they begin to look less than presentable to employees and potential clients. Any furniture, carpets, and textiles in a sunny spot are vulnerable to fading and discoloration from powerful UV rays. Office dwellers are busy, keen to coexist, and unlikely to have the facilities or motivation to reposition and protect fittings as they would their own property at home. Window tinting helps protect contents from sun damage and keeps their colors and finishes as they were intended for longer. In the medium to long term, that will save on replacement costs and extend the life of many items by years.

A fresh architectural window tinting treatment will not only make your building look smarter, but it can also create an immediate impact on the way your business is perceived from the outside – by customers, competitors, and people who never even noticed you before. With expert advice from Elite Window Services, you can create an inviting, refreshing escape from the summer heat, or hint at a comfortable, professional, or edgy and mysterious ambiance within. Chances are, you’ll bring in more business. With added confidence that comes from showing off facilities that will impress potential customers, securing just a few more deals will pay for the cost of the tinting, and more!

When you’re deciding between window replacement or installing energy-saving window film on existing windows in a commercial building, a number of factors may affect the choice you make.

Tenant complaints are often an early sign that your building’s windows need attention. New windows don’t always address complaints about heat or glare, and energy-saving window film can’t fix leaks or moisture, so identifying the real problem will help you focus on the right window solution.

If the windows have air or moisture leakage, failed seals, or damaged frames (or if they aren’t structurally sound), then window film installation isn’t an option to address complaints or window problems. But if your building’s windows are structurally sound and in good condition, window film can often take care of several of the common problems associated with windows in commercial buildings.

Hot and cold tenant calls come with the territory when managing a commercial building.  Yes, it can be irritating at times. But it pays not to ignore this important feedback from tenants and occupants. 

By reducing heat and solar energy, windows tinted with architectural window film can help even out the hot and cold spots throughout your building.  The result is more satisfied tenants and greater employee comfort.

It also works in attracting premium tenants who more and more are looking for “green upgrades” that can provide proven energy savings.

Clean, shining windows make such a difference to people’s first impressions, whether it’s a home, a car, or commercial property. Don’t be the business that the customer walks past because your premises look scruffy and neglected. Commercial window tinting can hide the effects of dirt and streaks on the glass. Your buildings will look presentable for a longer time, and you can allow more extended periods between cleans. This will save you on window cleaning bills, which are always at a premium due to high demand.

With much of the sun’s heat being filtered out and the glare from outside kept to a minimum, your customers and employees will be much happier. Your clients will be far more likely to do business with you in your main office, and your employees will be much more satisfied with the job.

Architectural window tinting can help you manage your energy bills by controlling the interior temperature of your office space. A corollary effect to this is that your HVAC unit will operate over a longer period due to reduced wear and tear.
