When it comes to window films and window tinting, KC residents seem to have a lot of questions. “What is the difference between the two, and how do I know what to buy?”
This is a question we hear all the time. So we thought we’d take a moment or two to clean up any confusion.
For most purposes, you can use the two terms interchangeably. But generally speaking, window tinting has the connotation of the stuff you’ll find in a car. It darkens the windows, cutting glare to a certain extent, but does not do much more.
However, with high quality residential and commercial window tinting, KC home and business owners can get products that do a whole lot more. These products are usually referred to by their manufacturers as window films, perhaps to distinguish them from their automotive counterparts.
Window tinting, KC residents are discovering, can serve a multitude of purposes, depending on the one you choose to purchase. When you work with Window Film Kansas City, you are getting the experience you need to recommend you the optimal product and the expert installation you want to make sure your windows look fantastic and do their jobs.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the various types of window films, or window tinting KC customers can choose from:
1. Energy efficiency window film: this product, once applied to your windows, can prevent a certain amount of heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, saving you big bucks year round on your heating and cooling energy bills.
2. Security window film: this cutting edge-product can deny thieves and vandals entry to your premises, even if they manage to smash the window. It will hold in place, in the frame, with no dangerous shards and splinters to clean up, and no joy for a prospective burglar. Great add on to any security system.
3. Decorative/privacy window film: this product comes in a variety of patterns, colors, finishes, degrees of transparency, and it can give a home or office both more privacy and a great style boost in one fell swoop.
4. Anti graffiti window film: this type of window tinting, KC businesses are discovering, does not add any tint at all to their windows. But when installed to the exterior of the glass, it can simply be peeled away if the building is vandalized by graffiti “artists.” And then it can be inexpensively reapplied. The perfect solution for certain downtown areas where graffiti can ruin the look of your shop or office.
