If you’re like most people, you may think that adding tinting to your windows is primarily an aesthetic upgrade. However, this is far from the truth!


Home and business owners across the country agree that sun control window film is an investment that is well worth the initial cost. From UV protection to energy savings, there are many important benefits you'll enjoy. Once you experience them for yourself, you’ll wish you had made this important upgrade sooner.



Still not convinced? Take a look at these six critical reasons why you need sun control window film for your home or business today!

1. Reduced Exposure to Harmful UV Rays

One of the most important benefits of sun control window film installation is the UV protection it offers. The glass used to make residential and commercial windows is designed to block the majority of UVB rays. However, according to the American Cancer Society, un-tinted windows do not offer full protection from UVA rays.



This means that while you’re unlikely to get a sunburn from sitting next to a closed window, you do run the risk of suffering from skin damage, wrinkling, sunspots, and even some types of skin cancer. If you, your family, or your employees spend a lot of time near large windows, it makes sense to add sun control window film for an effective extra layer of protection. 

2. Save on Energy Expenses

If you’re concerned about reducing your carbon footprint, adding sun control window film is an excellent investment. High-quality window tint deflects a significant amount of the heat that comes through the interior windows. This will cut down on your AC usage, decreasing your energy expenditure and your electric bills. 


Although it blocks harmful rays and heat, sun control window film still allows for high transmission of natural light into your home or business. Since you’ll be able to open your curtains or blinds without worrying about the heat, you’ll also enjoy more natural light, cutting down the need to rely on harsh fluorescents or other types of artificial lighting. This will further reduce your electrical consumption, particularly if your home has many large windows. 

3. Create a Glare-Free Environment

Window film cuts down on glare. This can reduce eye strain and will also improve the view out your windows. You’ll enjoy a more comfortable environment for everything from watching TV or working online to playing video games and using your smartphone.



Owners of high-end homes may consider choosing night-vision sun control window tint. It offers enhanced nighttime views thanks to its low interior reflectivity. This option still offers the same benefits as regular sun control film and is also made with a scratch-resistant coating that helps ensure you’ll enjoy crystal-clear views for many years.

4. Protect Your Furniture and Décor

UV rays don’t just harm your skin; they’ll also damage your interior décor, causing fading and discoloring. Without window tinting, you run the risk of ruining your furniture, flooring, drapes, artwork, rugs, and more.


Intense sun can also cause organic material to deteriorate. Untreated wood will begin to fall apart or may turn black or become bleached. Plastics can also fade and become brittle. Adding sun control window film will offer a layer of protection that will help keep your décor looking like new for many years and prevent sentimental items from being ruined.

5. Improve Indoor Climate Control

Without window tinting, you’ll find that areas in your home that are near large windows tend to be hotter in the summer and colder in the winter. Sun control window film will reduce hot spots, keeping the indoor temperatures more consistent from room to room. This will help ensure that your home or business is comfortable all year round without having to be overly dependent on your HVAC system.

6. Add a Touch of Style

Adding window tinting to your home or office will also give it an appealing, upscale look. Your window will still look natural, but it will have a bit of extra style that can add to your curb appeal.



Look for a window tint that has low interior and exterior reflectivity, so you can enjoy beautiful views from inside while also maintaining a beautiful outdoor aesthetic.

How to Choose the Best Sun Control Film

If you really want to enjoy all the benefits of sun control window film, you need to choose a quality product and have it installed by a professional company you can trust. It’s important to ask about the film’s blocking and absorption properties, find out what it’s made of, and whether it comes with a warranty.
