ABOUT WINDOW TINTING

Window tinting involves the application of a window film to the inside of the glass. The purpose of window tinting is to reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Depending on type of window tinting used, it can cut heat gain by a factor of four. It can also achieve a thirty percent reduction in heat loss in winter, when applied to single glazing. Window tinting also reduces fading of carpets, curtains and upholstery. Window tinting film is made from polyester, with metallic tinting.
