What does tinting do to windows?
Tinting windows involves applying a thin layer of tinted film to the surface of the window glass. This film is usually made of polyester and is treated with various materials that provide the desired properties. Here’s what tinting does to windows:
- Light Transmission: Tinting reduces the amount of visible light that passes through the window. The level of tinting determines how much light is blocked. This can help create a more comfortable and controlled environment inside buildings or vehicles, especially in areas with intense sunlight.
- Heat Rejection: Tinted windows can significantly reduce the amount of heat that enters a space by blocking a portion of the sun’s infrared (IR) radiation. This can lead to cooler interior temperatures, reduced reliance on air conditioning, and increased energy efficiency.
- UV Ray Blocking: Tinted films are designed to block a significant portion of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays can cause fading and damage
