A Guide on Choosing the Best Residential Window Tinting

When choosing residential window tinting, you should consider why you need the film. It may be required to protect your home interiors and family from the sun. You may also have the decorative aspects in mind. Where you love and what kind of conditions you have will also affect your decision. Once you have determined the different reasons why you need the tinting, you can start looking for the window film.

​

Compare Different Options

Check the different types of residential window tinting and compare them. The comparison should be focused on finding the film that best meets your needs. Ask the installation service to provide a comparison chart with information like:

• Total solar energy rejection

• Visible light transmission

• Thickness

​

Some of these factors are going to matter more based on what your needs are.

​

Consider the Decorative Aspects

Since you can find window films that can serve their practical purpose and still look great, aesthetics shouldn’t be ignored when making a choice. Look for a film that matches your home’s existing looks. These films are available in a wide range of colors so that you can match them with your home’s exterior color and materials. 

​

Reduce Glare

Make sure to choose residential window tinting that reduces or eliminates glare. You are going to watch TV in your home and without anti-glare effect on the windows, sunlight is going to make it different to see what is on the TV screen. Similarly, this problem is also going to affect your work on a computer. You can find films in different colors and with various other properties that also reduce glare. 

You should also consider the degree of privacy that the residential window tinting provides. So make sure to consider all these factors when choosing the best window film for your home.
