Beat The Heat This Summer With Window Tinting

  • 20 November, 2017
  • Adam
  • EEC

As the Summer heats up, it’s great to be enjoying the sunshine. However for some, it may become uncomfortable and there’s a huge need for clever solutions, such as window tinting, to help beat the heat.

Want to know more about window tinting? Although many people are familiar with the concept in cars, window tinting in the home is an excellent option for beating the Summer heat.

How Does Window Tinting Work?

Similar to the concept of window tinting in cars, window tinting in the home works by blocking thermal rays from the sun thus reducing the heat in your house.

It has been found that window tinting can stop up to 80% of heat entering the home – simply by blocking the solar energy which usually comes through the windows.

Window tinting can also help to stop heat escaping from your home during winter therefore helping in reducing your heating bills.

The levels by which window tinting can help to beat the heat depends on a variety of factors including:

  • The type of tint
  • The location of your home
  • Correct installation of the tint

Types of Window Tinting

There are many different types of window tinting but some of the most common include:

  1. Privacy Tint

This is often known as one way mirror tint and is mainly used for darkening windows and reducing heat in the home. It blocks almost all UV light. You will be able to see out easily yet you’ll be protected from external factors.

  1. Security Tint

Reducing the amount of heat and UV rays entering into the the home, this tint will also make it harder for those outside to see into your house. With less ability to view what’s inside, burglars are less likely to break in to your home. Some security tints also help glass windows to avoid shattering.

  1. Frosted / Opaque Tint

This is an excellent way to maintain your privacy but retain aesthetics in your home. It also helps to reduce the amount of heat entering and staying in your home.

  1. Ceramic Tint

Usually sold as 3M ceramic tint, this is a high quality product which looks great and still allows light into the home. It blocks heat and UV rays but still allows your home to be light and fresh.

Amazing customer service and great product. We had them install a skylight and it was completed inside a month. Very quick to answer emails and any questions we had! Didn't feel like they where trying to over sell us on their products and Adam was honest when he thought a product wouldn't work. Couldn't recommend them more

I had EEC install some window insulating film just in the nick of time! Great work - professional, courteous - and the product really seems to be making a difference to my energy bill.

We were extremely impressed by the Service. One of the sheets lifted away in the corner of the window and when we contacted them they fixed it for us. Would recommend this store.

Very satisfied with the team and installer from the Energy Efficiency Centre. We had 2 Velux Sun Tunnels installed which have given us much needed light. I'm particularly impressed with the sleekness of the design and being flush to the ceiling is very unobtrusive and contemporary. Emma

I had properly rated insulation batts installed throughout my roof space. The old ones were too thin, tatty and covered with decades of dirt and rodent droppings, etc. The old ones were removed, (brave men), and the ceiling vacuumed. I have peace of mind now. All was done quickly and efficiently, and I hope I will notice a real difference this winter. I also decided to have five of the very best skylights. I knew from previous experience that skylights make a huge difference in those dark corners, and they have. Great for the soul to to use these previously gloomy areas of the house. All staff were professional. No problems encountered. Orders were completed quickly.

Got a skylight installed by EEC. Quick turnaround on a quote after my call. I had Adrian provide the quote and perform installation. He is very professional, friendly and knew his trade. Arrived on time everyday, didn't make a big mess and cleaned up afterwards. Very happy with the finished product. Highly recommend this company.

The efficiency film on the windows made a big difference to my electric bill for summer. The installation process was prompt and fastidious.
