Window Tint Gives your Grand Rapids Home an Eco-friendly Update

 

Have you ever wished you could reduce your utility costs? You can overnight if you install window tint from Grand Rapids MI’s leading 3M Window Film Dealer: West Michigan Glass Coatings.

 

We know it might sound too good to be true, but commercial and residential window tinting by our professional team makes an immediate difference in your energy costs. Depending which window film you select, it can also offer a range of other benefits from privacy and security to more sophisticated style.

 

West Michigan Glass Coatings offers window tint that Grand Rapids, MI businesses and residents are discovering make work and daily life more comfortable. Even better, window tint is an environmentally friendly way to reduce energy consumption.

 

How does window tinting make you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter? Window film is designed to allow natural light through while it filters out heat-generating harmful UV rays. Studies show, in fact, that for every 100 square feet of window glass exposed to sunlight, you require up to one ton of air conditioning to cool the interior. That’s right! Installing window film reduces the heat from direct light while the demand for air conditioning and fan cooling diminishes, which immediately translates into lower utility bills.

 

From the very first day we install the window tint, Grand Rapids, MI clients tell us they notice increased comfort, especially during the hottest time of the day. Window film minimizes solar hot spots and glare, making the inside a much nicer place to be. No more drawing the curtains shut or lowering the blinds to keep the heat and light out! This means you can work with natural light rather than electrical, which again offers cost benefits.

 

The savings don’t stop with summer. Window films reflect interior heat away from the windows – some studies say as much as 35%.

 

Another benefit from window film installation is protecting your furnishings and artwork from sun damage. Ordinarily, UV light will fade fabrics and artwork. By simply installing window tint, you block 99% of the sun’s UV light and save the cost of refurbishing or replacing your belongings.

 

Depending on the window film selected, you can also increase privacy and security. Safety films guard against vandalism and natural disasters by holding glass pieces together so they don’t shatter and fall into the interior.
