Beat the Heat: How Window Film Can Keep Your Australian Home Cool in Summer

The summer heat seems to be getting more intense year by year. We all look forward to those long days and seemingly endless summer nights, but the heat begins to take away from some of the fun. This is especially true if the interior of your home is way too hot, and you have to run your aircon all of the time. When you have to deal with stifling summer heat inside your home, it’s not a pleasant experience at all.

 

With climate change, hot summer weather seems to be here with us for good. Even worse, the temperatures still seem to be on the rise. Normally we would just turn the aircon temperature down, but with soaring energy prices that’s no longer a viable option. World events and a rapidly recovering economy have both led to rapidly rising monthly utility costs. Clearly, we need an affordable solution that can help keep our homes cool in the summer and save us money too.

 

What Can Window Tinting Do?

 

Window film can reduce visible and infra-red light by approximately 5 to 95 per cent. This help to dramatically reduce the interior temperature of your home.  It also cuts solar energy by up to 82 per cent.

 

Because the temperature inside your dwelling is greatly reduced, you can expect to save up to 30 per cent on your utility bills. You’ll save money each month, and with lower utility usage you’ll be helping the environment too.

 

How Does Solar Window Tinting Work?

 

The window film that helps keep your home cooler is created using multi-layered, thin  sheets. These sheets are sputter coated using metals including gold, bronze and silver.

 

When you install this window treatment it reduces the solar heat coming in, while still letting your preserve your lovely outside views. With professional installation, you can be sure that your windows will look great after the tinting is applied.

 

What Are Other Benefits of Window Tinting?

 

When you have this product installed, you can also expect other benefits. These window treatments can cut up to 99 per cent of harmful UV light. UV radiation is known to cause health issues and age skin prematurely.

 

Cutting the levels of UV light can also help protect your furniture, carpets and artwork from fading. In addition, the tinting can help reduce the glare and brightness in your home. You and your family will be able to easily see the TV and work on your screens when the glare is reduced.
