When it comes to selecting a window film, there are a lot of options to choose from. One specific factor to consider is the shade or the darkness of the tint.

Take a look at the picture in this article. It is a great photo that demonstrates the different percentages of darkness that you can choose from when selecting window film. Depending on the look that you are going for, you may want a darker window film that changes the look of the home or building from the outside, or you may want a film that is much lighter or even completely transparent.

There are window films that block out ultraviolet rays from the sun as well as solar heat, which helps keep it cool inside the room, while appearing from the outside as if there are no window films installed. Some of these high-end window films bring all the benefit of blocking out the sun without changing the look of the windows themselves.

Window tinting is a great way to cut down on cooling costs by preventing sun from entering through the windows. If a room doesn’t get hot because the sun doesn’t penetrate through the windows, then the air-conditioning will not need to be used nearly as often, saving money.

Another benefit of window film is it blocks out the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The UV rays from the sun can cause fading and bleach out anything on the other side of the window, from hardwood floors to carpeting to furniture.  They also help protect human beings from exposure to UV rays, which can cause cancer. If you have a sitting or reading room, for example, that you spend a lot of time in, adding window film can not only make the room more comfortable, but can also protect people and furnishings from the damaging effects of the sun.
