Window tinting is often associated with cars and is one of the most popular custom features for vehicles today. However, window tint can also be applied to the windows in your home, so not only will they look good, but they will offer protection from the harsh sunlight as well. If you live in a sunny area and want to help reduce the number of harmful UV rays entering your home, consider home window tinting.

Window tinting is the application of a film over window glass. It is applied in sheets by skilled tradesmen to ensure that there are no bubbles, wrinkles or creases. Films can be clear, tinted, frosted, or decorative and they can be used in residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal buildings.
