Three Reasons Home Window Films Are A Great Gift For Your House

By Kaylynn Mower Residential Window Film

At this time of the year when we exchange gifts, we wanted to share an article that explains three reasons why home window film might be the best gift you can buy for your house.

Some Gifts Residential Window Films Give To Your Home

Improved Comfort – There are a variety of things that can impact the comfort of your home. One is a consistent temperature throughout the home. To accomplish that, you need to be able to eliminate hot and cold spots. These zones often are located near specific windows in your home. Some window films can be utilized to block excessive heat in the summer and retain heat in the winter. In addition, window films can improve comfort by reducing excessive glare coming through windows at certain times of the day.

Preserve Furnishings – Another way that window film can be a great gift for your home is by helping to preserve your furniture, flooring and furnishings. Most window films block 99% or more of the sun’s damaging UV rays. Because UV rays account for 40% of the reasons furnishings fade, nearly any window film will help increase the longevity of the interior valuables.

Upgrade Privacy and Decor – There are a variety of decorative window films that can be used to increase privacy by making glass panels opaque or frosted where needed. This can be extremely beneficial for bathroom windows or front door sidelight glass. In addition, these decorative window films can also be customized to add decorative elements and designs to glass panels within your home.

These are just a couple ways that window film can make a great gift for your home. If you would like more information on residential window films, click HERE.

By Kaylynn Mower Uncategorized

Decorative window film allows you unlimited possibilities to customize your work space or business. Here are 5 reasons it is the best options for your Utah Business:

1. Apply it to existing glass

Window film can be applied to most existing glass surfaces. With a little cleaning you can have a brand new expensive feel for a fraction for the cost.

2. Unlimited Options

Your imagination is the limit as to the patterns, graphics and feel you can create with decorative window film. With our custom plotter we can create almost anything you can imagine.

3. Economical

The cost of decorative window film is a fraction of the cost of custom etched glass or sandblasted work. You can transform your business to look upscale on a tight budget.

4. Easy to clean

Window film is smooth and easy to clean. Etched or sandblasted glass can gather dust, dirt and grease over time creating a yellow look. Decorative window film will stay clean and crisp.

5. Easy to Replace and Upgrade

You can upgrade your design at any time with easy removal and new installation. This is a great option for leased office space where you can customize your space without breaking the bank or lease agreement.

Home Window Tinting

By Kaylynn Mower Residential Window Film

Why Home Window Tinting?

We live in a time when money is hard to come by. So, you may ask yourself why home window tinting would be a viable financial choice for you and your family. Home window tinting offers many benefits that will help you save money, decrease the damage of UV rays, increase your level of security, and increase your level of comfort.

Having windows tinted in your home will help you save money on your monthly energy bills. Shaded Glass offers window tints that can block up to 78% of the heat that comes into your home. This is especially helpful if you have windows in your home that face to the south, because the heat from the sun comes in through those windows all day. By blocking more than ¾ of the heat that comes in, the money that you can save on your monthly energy bills is about 30%! Imagine what you could do with that extra cash! The money you save by having windows tinted in your home should be spent on something you want, rather than something you need to fix or replace. Home window tinting offers protection against this as well.

Ultra Violet Rays are not only damaging to skin, but to furniture as well. The UV rays from the sun cause furniture to fade. In many homes, large windows cover the walls. It is difficult to place a couch, piano, or other large piece of furniture somewhere where the sun won’t hit them. Home window tinting is a great way to ensure your belongings last as long as they can without having to be replaced. Every window tint Shaded Glass offers blocks 99.9% of UV rays! This is an amazing way to make sure you are in control of what happens in your home.

Home window tinting is also a great way to add an extra sense of security. Shaded Glass offers window tint that causes a reflection during the day, so neighbors and others walking by cannot see into your home. Another way to help safeguard your family is with security film. This reinforces ordinary glass and makes it stronger so that breaking the glass becomes very difficult. This type of home window tinting is very useful on windows that can’t be seen very well by neighbors or those passing by. Help put your mind at ease and know that your home is safer with home window tinting.

Increasing the level of comfort you feel in your home is another way home window tinting will benefit you. Many times the light that comes in through windows causes a glare. This is especially noticeable on TV screens and makes it difficult to enjoy the shows or movies you are watching. Shaded Glass offers several different window tints that will help reduce the amount of glare that comes into your home.

Home window tinting is the perfect solution for your home. It will help you save money on your energy bills (which will eventually help you pay for the cost of the tint), keep your furniture in top shape by preventing it from fading, add an extra line of defense against home invasion, and help you stay comfortable in your home. With all these benefits, the real question is: Why would you not get home window tinting with Shaded Glass?

UV Protection & Exposure

By Kaylynn Mower Uncategorized

Many of us are aware of the risks ultraviolet rays pose to our bodies and take extreme caution when we are outside. We lather our bodies with sunscreen, wear hats, and sunglasses in order to reduce the amount of UV exposure. Just because you are inside, doesn’t mean you or your furniture is safe from the harmful effects of UV rays.

The purpose of windows is to let in light to our home, business, or car. Because they do their job very well, we often don’t realize that that same sunshine we protect our skin against when we are outside is coming in through our windows unabated. Windows alone do not protect against ultraviolet rays. Just like us, furniture needs sunscreen as well and it comes in the form of window tint.

All of the window tints offered by Shaded Glass block 100% of UV rays! This will not only help lower your chances of getting skin cancer, protect your eyes from damage, and decrease your chances of premature aging, but also protect your furniture as well. UV protection increases the life expectancy of your furniture.

No one likes to invite friends or family over and have their couch or showcase piece of furniture, such as a piano, faded by the sun. UV protection is essential to help safeguard the life of your furniture. Why spend money on replacing belongings when you can prolong their lifespan and use them as long as they were intended to be used?

That same question can be asked about cars. Many of us cannot afford to trade in our car for a newer model every year because the leather or upholstery has faded due to lack of UV protection. For a very affordable price, Shaded Glass can tint your car windows (as well as your home or business) to increase your level of UV protection and add years to the life of the interior of your vehicle. Not only have you enhanced your car, but you have spent less money than you would have replacing it.

In the economy we live, financial decisions should be made based on investment opportunity rather than the need to constantly replace or renew. UV protection offered by Shaded Glass through our window films will decrease your UV exposure; therefore, it is an investment opportunity. Take the first step in UV protection for your family and belongings today by calling Shaded Glass to schedule your free estimate.

Imagine what you could do with an extra $30 at the end of every month!

Businesses can benefit greatly from having their windows tinted. Not only will they notice the savings on energy bills, but the government is cracking down on businesses and their energy efficiency.
