Beat the Heat - How Tinted Windows Benefit You in the Summer

Summer is definitely here as we've seen extended heat warnings across Hamilton over the last week. And according to the weather forecasts, it doesn't look like it will be cooling down much anytime soon. Of course, we don't like to complain too much about the heat in Canada since we only get it for a few months of the year, but it can be uncomfortable and hazardous for us, especially with our high humidity. There are many ways to beat the heat and keep cool in the summer from air conditions and fans to pools and cold drinks - but one method you may not be thinking about is tinted windows. Getting your home, office, or car tinted has even more benefits than usual in the summer...

Commercial Window Tinting

Along with year-long benefits like better privacy, safety and aesthetics for your building -the benefits of having your office, storefront, or other commercial building tinted in the summer include:

• Cost-savings on energy - tinted window help cool building so you can run less air conditioning
• Increased comfort - by reducing glare and uv rays you create a more comfortable environment for employees or customers - making them happier to be in your environment​

Residential Window Tinting

The benefits of residential tinting for a house or apartment building are very similar to those of commercial. The main difference being that it will benefit your wallet directly and often those that you care about most:

• Cost-savings  - Not only can save on power costs, but you can also save from sun damage that can occur to furniture and other home items
• Increased protection - the sun and heat can be dangerous to family members and tenants. Protect them and yourself with the right window film

Automotive Window Tinting

Many clients get their car tinted for increased privacy and protection, or sometimes just because it looks great. But automotive tinting has some exceptional additional heat-beating benefits:

• Heat reduction - plain and simple, having tinted windows decreases the temperature of your car
• Glare reduction - Just as uncomfortable and dangerous as high heat is sun glare - tinted windows virtually eliminate dangerous glare and uv rays
