Do you already have blinds or curtains? Opt for a tinted window film

Blinds, curtains and tinted window films are among the solutions adopted by homeowners or business owners to :

• Decorate a space through the windows
• Block heat
• Provide more privacy
• Reduce glare
• Add a decorative touch or highlight a brand
• Block out a room

Each solution is tailored to solve specific situations. The application of window tinting film can help you add performance to your glass and get more out of your space.

Why is it interesting to combine curtains with window tinting film?

During the day, window tinting blocks the view of outsiders looking in, lets light in, helps block heat, prevents fading of your property, reduces glare, improves the appearance of your window, retains heat in the winter, and optimizes the view from inside to outside.

However, when it starts to get darker, the privacy level offered by window film decreases because the light inside the house is brighter than the light outside. So window film and curtains are two complementary solutions!

However, when closed in the middle of the day, curtains completely block the view to the outside and also prevent natural light from entering the room. Depending on the type of curtains chosen, they can also be very cumbersome.

Do you already have blinds on your windows? Here's why you need window film too!

Some people haven't considered applying window tinting film to their existing windows, mainly because they haven't thought about the benefits of using both blinds and adhesive film.

Others are hesitant because of some preconceptions they may have about window film. For example:

Prejudice #1: Window films can break glass Professional installers make sure they install the right film for the type of glass and window to avoid this problem.

Glass can be broken by external elements such as heavy objects, a major impact or a natural disaster. If the breakage and shattering is not controlled, the glass can injure someone. The adhesive window film works precisely to hold the glass in place in the event of an explosion.

Misconception #2: Adhesive films can void your window warranty This is sometimes the case, but window films often come with a limited warranty that covers the replacement of the glass and film in the event of breakage.

Misconception #3: Tinted films darken your windows too much Tinted films come in many shades and you can choose the options that best suit your needs. This means your windows will be as dark as you want them to be.

Misconception #4: Tinted window film is only useful in the summer and warm weather and can make your home colder in the winter Window film** is actually an energy saving mechanism. It is a year-round solution that insulates a building from heat transfer. After the installation of a solar film, the windows emit less heat in winter and repel heat in summer. As a result, the HVAC system is not overloaded, which leads to a reduction in system load and run time. As a result, your electricity bill goes down!
