Window tinting is a great solution for homeowners seeking to increase their home’s privacy and cut energy costs. But besides saving a few coins and shutting out nosy neighbors, window tinting is also linked to a number of health benefits.
In this post we will walk you through some of the benefits you’ll get to enjoy when you tint your windows.
1. Cutting down your sun exposure
Sun exposure is important for us. It helps us create vitamin D, a crucial component in the absorption of calcium. However, too much exposure can lead to a myriad of health problems.
Overexposure to sunlight can lead to:
Skin changes– too much UV light can cause skin cells with melanin to form a clump. This can create moles and freckles or worse, can develop into cancer.
Early aging– Sunrays can speed up the aging process of your skin. With time, people who spend most of their time in the sun start to experience tight, wrinkled and leathery skin. This makes you look older than you are.
Lower your immunity – Overexposure to sun rays has been linked to a lowered immune system. Research shows that women overexposed to UV rays are at a higher risk of developing dermatomyositis, an autoimmune disease affecting the skin.
Eye damage– UV rays can burn the outer layer of your eye called the cornea. This damage to your eyes can cause blurred vision. Sunrays have also been linked to cataracts, which causes blindness if left untreated.
Skin cancer– Skin cancer is common to people who are overexposed to sunlight. Though it is treatable, it can spread to other areas of the body, putting your life at risk.
Everyone is at risk of developing these health conditions due to sunlight overexposure. However, with window tinting, you can significantly reduce this risk. Tinting helps you keep 99% of UV rays from entering your house which is a great step towards cutting your sunlight exposure.
2. Keeping your house cool
Whenever summer rolls around, staying indoors becomes very hard. Indoor temperatures during the day can rise to unbearable levels.
However, staying cool is important for you and your family’s health and comfort. Window tints regulate interior temperatures by blocking sun rays. This can help you reduce the risk of heat stroke or dehydration during hot days.
3. Glare reduction
A bright interior is appealing. However, during sunny days, too much sunlight can cause glare and make it difficult for you to focus on your computer screen or TV. This may result in eye strain, which causes discomfort and fatigue.
A glare reduction film reduces glare inside a room making it comfortable to spend more time on your computer screen or TV. This is quite useful when working from home or if you spend a lot of time watching TV.
4. Shatter protection
Rooms, apartments and offices with large glass windows may appear bright and look luxurious. However, the danger they pose is enormous when the glass gets damaged.
A window tint film can help you prevent your glass windows from shattering. This improves the safety of your home during earthquakes, hurricanes or any other accident glass breaks.
Some special types of window films can also reduce dangerous break-ins by keeping the glass shards intact.
5. Antimicrobial protection
Antimicrobial protection at home is important, especially with the current COVID-19 crisis. An antimicrobial window film can help you reduce bacteria and viruses in your home by inhibiting their growth on glass surfaces.
Antimicrobial window film works by releasing silver ions in the presence of moisture which disrupts the electrical balance in microbes. This results in the bursting of any microbes on the surface.
Therefore, it is always a good idea to coat any germy glass surfaces in your home that get touched a lot.
Final word
The benefits of window tinting go far beyond enhancing the curb appeal of your home. Adding a window tint makes your house more comfortable, efficient and safer. Therefore, if you are looking to make some home improvements this spring, ensure that window tinting is at the top of your list.
