How Utah Window Tinting Can Keep Your Family More Comfortable and Protect Your Belongings

February 15th, 2010

If you are a Beehive State resident, you know how hot it gets during the summer months! If you live in St George, temperatures can soar well about the 100’s, and Northern Utah gets its share of sizzling heat as well. If your utility bills are through the roof during the summer and your children still complain about the heat even when the air conditioner is going full-blast, maybe it’s time to look into Utah window tinting.

Here are some ways that Utah window tinting from Glamour Glaze can keep your family more comfortable and protect your belongings.

  • You will stay much cooler. You don’t want to have to keep your drapes closed during the summer months just to keep out the heat of the sun! Infrared light is another name for heat: you can’t see it like visible light, but you sure can feel it. Although most of the sun’s infrared light is absorbed by the earth’s atmosphere, a lot of it still gets through. Utah window tinting products from Glamour Glaze rejects 97% of the sun’s infrared light: and this keeps the interior of your house much cooler and your family more comfortable. Of course, as an added bonus it also follows that your utility bills will be lower!
  • Window tinting protects your carpet, furniture, and other belongings by blocking harmful UV rays. We all know that UV rays are harmful to our eyes, so why do we think it’s OK for them to come streaming through our residential windows? Again, you don’t have to draw the drapes in broad daylight just to protect your belongings from fading. Glamour Glaze products reject 99% of the UV rays that are the major cause of fading, so your sofa can stay dark green, your tan carpet won’t turn white, and the colors on your family photographs will remain vibrant.
  • You’ll be able to disregard sun angles altogether. The angle of the sunlight that comes in through your windows changes with the seasons. You may have to move a certain painting at certain times of years to protect it from the sun, whereas you can leave it hanging all year long with no worries if you have Utah window tinting installed.

Glamour Glaze products really do help keep the sun’s harmful effects where they belong: outside! Let the sun shine into your home all year long with window tinting.

The Many Advantages of Adding Window Tinting To Your Commercial Building

January 27th, 2010

Everyone seems to be looking for new and innovative ways to cut down on energy costs these days. If you are a commercial property owner, you know that are many ways to pare your utilities expenses: programmable thermostats, increased insulation, energy-efficient furnaces, and so forth. But did you know that you can see even more savings by having window tinting products installed on your existing windows? Here is a snapshot look at some of the many advantages of window tinting in a commercial setting.

Window Films Keep the UV Rays Out

You might be amazed at how much heat from the sun comes in through your building’s windows! Not only are your tenants made uncomfortable by excessive heat, but the UV rays will fade your carpeting and furniture too. Quality window tinting will block out 99% of the sun’s UV rays, protecting your investment and keeping your tenants more comfortable and happy.

Window Films Keep the Heat Out

Infrared light from the sun is especially hot. Tinting will allow your windows to reject 97% of incoming infrared light. Spectrally-selective window films are designed to keep your indoor spaces much cooler, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning. The result: lower energy bills all year round.

Window Tinting Provides Privacy Without Compromise

Old-fashioned window films offered privacy from prying eyes, but they were so highly reflective that tenants indoors could not see out during the evening hours. Today’s tinting products allow you to have the privacy you want without compromise: these low-reflective products give tenants a perfect view of the outdoors no matter the time of day or night while barring others from looking in.

Today’s Generation of Window Tinting Products Are Worry-Free

These are just a few of the many advantages of installing window tinting on your existing windows. If you’ve been put off by the look of window films in the past, look again. Today’s styles are good looking, unobtrusive, long-lasting, and will add real value to your property. Metal-free films are designed not to corrode or interfere with cell phone connection, so you can be confident that your tinting will not obstruct your existing workflow.

For overall savings over the long term, window tinting is a great investment. You will have more comfortable tenants and therefore less turnover; you will save money on your utility bills; you will protect your carpeting and furniture from fading; and your windows will look terrific!

Window Tinting: A Beautiful Way to Save Money

November 30th, 2009

There’s no doubt about it: homeowners across America are looking for ways to tighten their financial belts and start saving some serious money on their monthly utility bills. If you are one such seeker, look no further than window tinting. Here are just a few of the reasons why professional window tinting for your home is a beautiful way to save money.

What is window tinting?

Window tinting are ultra-thin plastic films that are applied to the inside of thoroughly-cleaned window panes. They are most commonly applied as a means to regulate heat from direct sunlight and to protect residents and their furnishings from the harmful effects of UV and other rays.

Their reflective properties also offer a degree of privacy: however, not all window tints are created equal. Films of lesser quality will not only reflect the sun’s rays from the outside, but they have reflective properties on the inside too which will not allow you to see out when it’s dark. The best quality films will not act like mirrors on the indoor side: rather, they will simply cut down on glare in the daytime and allow you to enjoy the view on the outside at night too.  So be sure to do your research first to choose the best type and manufacturer for your windows.

How does window tinting save money?

The money-saving benefits of window tinting are more than you may realize: here are some examples.

–Utility bills: Good window tinting will block out 95-99 percent of harmful UV rays. Its properties will also reflect away a generous portion of the sun’s heat, so your home will stay cooler naturally. You will then, of course, enjoy greatly reduced electricity bills since you will not be using your air conditioner as often.  In extremely hot climates, your month to month savings may be as much as 20 percent!

–Less expensive than window replacements: If you are not in a financial position to replace your windows, or if you think you windows are still sound but could use a little extra help with sunlight and temperature control, window tinting are a cost-effective alternative to expensive replacements.

–You may qualify for Energy Star benefits: Through the Energy Star program, the government is offering tax incentives for homeowners who engage in energy-saving improvements. If the quality and properties of the film you choose meet the statutory criteria for eligibility. You may get a tax credit of up to 30 percent off the cost of your film, with a limit of 1,500 dollars. Ask your window tinting professional if you might qualify.
