Why the Sun can be Stronger during Winter Now's the Time to Tint your Home’s Windows

1. Why the Sun can be Stronger during Winter –Now’s the Time to Tint your Home’s Windows Not many homeowners realize that the sun’s UV rays can be even more harmful during winter than summer, despite temperatures being lower. If you live in an area that experiences significant amounts of sunshine and snow in winter, there are some great reasons why you should consider tinting your home’s windows during the winter months. 1. Reduce Glare Although winter weather can be quite dreary and depressing, every so often, a sunny day will make an appearance. While this does provide a welcome respite from the gray and gloomy slush, it can result in there being a significant amount of glare – which in turn enters your home through the windows. At the best of times, snow glare can cause a tremendous amount of inconvenience to drivers and anyone else spending time outdoors. However, it can cause discomfort in your home as well, especially to anyone who has sensitive eyes. Glare can also be downright annoying if you are trying to watch TV. If you are fortunate enough to live in an area with a beautiful view during winter, you will at least be able to thoroughly enjoy it after installing window film because you won’t have to squint to see it anymore. 2. Protect your Skin Even though the sun may seem weaker during this time of year, its UV rays are often even more harmful in winter than summer. As a result, you and your family can still experience skin damage when sitting close to any of the windows in your home. When installing window film during winter, you will be able to rest assured that your family will not be exposed to the sun’s harmful effects while relaxing indoors. 3. Regulate Indoor Temperatures Window tinting not only keeps the sun’s harmful rays out of your home; it has the ability to regulate indoor temperatures as well. This enables you to reduce your winter heating bills by as much as 50%, depending on whether you have single- or double-glazed windows – especially when using it in conjunction with weather stripping and a roof insulation product. 3. Protect Soft Furnishings Although winter sunlight may seem weak, it still has the ability to cause significant damage to items such as carpets, curtaining, couches and other soft furnishings – all of which are extremely costly to replace over time.
