House Window Film - Is It For Me?

A large house with a lot of windows and a brick driveway in front of it.

When you think of a window film, the first thing that springs to mind is probably tinted windows in your car.

 

However, window film is also very popular for homeowners across San Antonio, Texas, providing them with an array of benefits – but is it right for you?

 

What is residential window film?

Window film is becoming increasingly more common for both homeowners and commercial business owners, providing them with a wide range of benefits.

 

The process essentially involves placing a very thin and transparent film on the windows of your property, which increases security and improves efficiency without preventing natural sunlight from illuminating your rooms.

 

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits to applying window film in your home, so if you are wondering whether it is worth it, here are some of the most significant benefits:

 

Reduce heat build-up

One of the biggest benefits of house window film is that it helps you to reduce the build-up of heat during those hot summer months. The film is able to block the infrared light from penetrating, ensuring your room remains cooler.


Increased security

Window film is also able to help improve the security of your home. Not only can it prevent criminals from being able to see through, but they also prevent shattering, making it harder to gain access.


Improve curb appeal

While window film has a number of practical benefits, it can also significantly enhance the aesthetics of your home. The right tinting can make your home look more appealing to potential buyers, improving your curb appeal and property value.

 

Is home window film right for you?

Although tinting your home’s windows might seem like an unnecessary expense, it can transform your property and unlock so many benefits.

 

Here at Premier Window Tinting, we know how important the right tinting can be, and as an authorized dealer of premium 3M Window Film, our experienced team is here to help you.

This failure must be reported within 60 months for thermal shock fracture or 40 months for seal failure if covered by original window manufacturer. You must pay a $25 consumer deductible or 5 percent of the replacement cost – whichever is greater.
