Window Tint For Hot Summers In Fort Collins

Spring has come and gone and Summer is on the horizon here in Fort Collins and that means, for people living at high altitude, one glaring thing–the oncoming summer heat. That’s right, as the days get longer, the temperatures climb higher, which in turn means a vast increase in energy bills because you turn on your a/c nearly every summer day. However, overly high energy bills do not have to be a reality for homeowners across the Fort Collins area. By simply installing window tint on your home’s windows this year you can easily control the environment of your home and curb rising energy bill. This is a sure fire way to save you money and, as we know first hand, will make the sweltering summer months more comfortable for you and your family. This is due to one of the key benefits of window tint–reduction of solar heat gain. It stops heat transfer where it starts–on the glass of your windows. In fact, solar control window films can reduce 65% of the total solar energy allowed into your home. This all by itself lowers the temperature in your home before you even turn on the A/C.

The Benefits Of Window Tinting For Your Fort Collins Home

Although a big reduction in solar heat gain on your Fort Collins home’s windows is fantastic and already a compelling reason to purchase window tinting, there are much more benefits to window film. Happily, for consumers, there are a ton of other benefits associated with window tint for the summer months and beyond.
Benefits Like:
UV protection: Harmful infrared and UV rays can damage your skin and cause skin cancer. They are also responsible for fading and sun damage to artwork, furniture, and flooring. Solar control window films block out 99% of these destructive UV rays and 98.5% of harmful infrared rays, keeping your family and your valuables protected.
Glare Reduction: The sun shines longer and brighter in the summer and is more than just an annoyance. Entire rooms in your house may go unused to avoid the glare from the intense Colorado sun. Window tinting blocks the annoying glare from the sun, making every room in your home usable year round
HVAC Maintenance Reduction: When your heating or cooling systems work harder to keep your home cool, they break down more often and require expensive repair. Window tinting keeps your HVAC from working as hard, reducing the frequency of breakdowns and repairs.
