Window tinting is a great option when you’re looking to save money on bills, enhance the look and privacy of your home, protect your health, or preserve valuable furniture and art. To lower cooling and heating costs, you should tint windows which receive a lot of direct sunlight or are exposed to cold winter winds. You can also increase privacy by applying opaque films on your bathroom, bedroom and kitchen windows or windows that face neighboring houses or busy streets.

Whether you’re looking to tint a single window or your entire home, Aero Shade carries a full selection of tinting materials which can be customized to suit your needs. Professionally installed window tinting is fast and convenient. It is applied to the surface of the glass without your needing to remove or replace windows. Seasoned installers ensure the material is properly sized and placed for a high-quality, custom look.

Reduce Energy Costs

Tinted windows can lower your heating and cooling bills and make your home more comfortable year round. Window films filter direct sunlight and reduce glare so air conditioners don’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool. They also eliminate hot spots and keep heat from escaping, so heaters run more efficiently in the winter.

Protect Valuable Furniture and Art

Window film blocks harmful ultraviolet and visible light which can damage furniture, textiles, family portraits, and priceless artwork. All light damage is permanent and cumulative, so blocking a little light can do a lot of good. UV light breaks down pigments and has a bleaching effect which can ruin curtains, rugs, and upholstery. It also heats surfaces causing natural oils to stiffen and crack, which destroys leather, oil paintings, wood varnishes, and lacquers. For certain items, visible light causes as much damage as UV light. When exposed to direct light, photographs, watercolors, pastel, and gouache fade quickly and unevenly.

A Healthier Home

Too much sun exposure is linked to many health problems. It can cause certain kinds of skin cancer and accelerate aging. Sunlight also breaks down supplements, vitamins and essential oils, making them less effective. UV rays can also dry skin, causing it to produce more oil and worsen acne. Intense sunlight and excessive glare from snow and water can also damage your eyes, and increase the chance of developing vision problems later in life. Adding tinting to your windows can reduce the chance of sunlight creating any or all of these problems. Though only a one-time investment, tinting can pay dividends for your health for years after you install it.

Enhanced Privacy

Window tints can reduce or block the view into your home without blocking your view of the outside. Reflective films create a mirror-like finish on the outside and a clear view from the inside. Decorative films can make windows opaque at a fraction of the cost of laminated panels or sand-blasted glass. Frosted films are ideal in areas where privacy and natural light is important, such as bathrooms, dressing rooms, and bedrooms. They are also a good choice for blocking poor views such as neighboring houses, overgrown yards, and busy streets.

Custom Décor

Window films are an excellent standalone window treatment, and are valuable as an extra protection behind window curtains and shades. Decorative films can also transform a solid glass panel into a feature, or preserve architectural details without sacrificing privacy.
