Low-E Window Tinting: Protects Your Austin Homes Wood Floors & Furnishings
The Facts And Figures Behind Fading Home Furnishings
“72% of windows in homes and businesses in the U.S. provide only minimal protection from the uncomfortable heat and harmful UV rays that pass right through glass.”
–Luc Goemaere, Business Segment Manager Americas – Solar Gard
We all know the risks for humans associated with the sun: sunburn, premature aging of the skin, eye damage and even cancer. This is why most of us here in Austin use sunscreen and wear sunglasses–for protection. It makes sense then, that UV rays are a detriment to other things like home furnishings as well. So what can you do to protect your furniture, floors, and upholstery from the devastating effects of long-term sun exposure? Pulling the curtains shut is one thing but then you lose the lovely Austin views you live here for. The answer to fading furniture is more simple than you may think and one of the most cost-effective solutions on the market today- Low-E window tinting.
Window Film To Protect Your Austin Home’s Furnishings
All window tints are not created equal. Window replacement companies often offer glass windows and doors pre-coated with a low-E glazing. While that is somewhat effective, it is expensive and still not nearly as effective as having Low-E window film applied to the windows you already have. Low-E Window Film comes with a lot to recommend it too, well beyond a price tag that is lower than full window replacement.
