Window tinting is a relatively inexpensive thing that adds value to the home, then i have an older home with aged windows, however that means that the Low-E rating is poor.
It does not protect myself and others at all from sun rays and glares in the house… My home consistently feels a bit hot.
I can’t have rugs or furniture near the windows or they will be discolored, and adding a window tint wasn’t a problem at all. It easily solved a whole mess of problems, but window tinting made it so much more energy efficient in the house. I now don’t have to blast the AC all Spring and Summer long. The added layer of protection keeps the apartment so much cooler. I can raise the temperature an extra numerous degrees, however so that doesn’t sound prefer a lot, then but that slight raise in temperature on a day to day basis for weeks, that easily adds up. It ends up meaning it saves 100s of dollars. I also observed that our cooling plan has less repairs now. I don’t need to consistently add refrigerant, change the air filter and clean out the cooling coil. The condensate drain doesn’t even clog with algae as much. A window tint isn’t only energy smart, but it looks fantastic too. If you look at the apartment from the outside, it is a slight color change. My apartment right now is grey, and the windows look dark grey. I prefer the look of it and the privacy. It makes myself and others believe so much more secure.
