Keeping your home cool can be a real challenge, especially during summer. You run your air conditioning and fans all day just to get some relief, but then you pay for it when your next power bill arrives. By installing window tinting you block the sun’s rays and dramatically reduce the temperature in your home, meaning you’ll spend far less cooling your home.
The Australian heat is notorious for causing sun damage to upholstery and other items of furniture. In just a year or two a brand-new couch can be completely discoloured. If you install window tinting, you can block a large amount of the sun’s rays and prevent fading.
If the sun can damage your couch through the window, imagine what it can do to your skin. It might seem ridiculous, but you can get sunburn from siting on a couch close enough to the window. By applying tinting to your windows, you can block harmful UV rays and reduce your risk of skin cancer.
