Window Tinting For Your Kansas City Home

Kansas City is booming. Old neighborhoods, like the “Power and Light” district, are beings restored as more and more people move to this urban oasis deep in the heart of the American prairie. We seem to have it all here in the City Of Fountains: four seasons, winning sports teams and a booming economy. However, one thing we don’t have is a shortage of intense sunlight. As window tint installers we deal with people daily who want to protect their home, their family and themselves from the glaring and sometimes harmful UV rays of the sun. While many people know the solution is window film, there are also many misconceptions folks in Kansas City have in regards to window tint. Below are a few of the most common window tint myths we hear, countered with facts we know, from experience, to be the truth.

Window Tinting Myths Vs. Fact

Myth: Window tinting will make it dark inside your home or business.
Fact: Window tinting does not stop the sun from penetrating into your home or business. In fact, many window films actually work by redirecting sunlight deeper into your home or business, making it brighter and more comfortable even in areas not directly in front of windows.

Myth: Plants can’t grow in buildings with tinted windows.
Fact: Window tinting blocks harmful UV rays from coming through your home’s windows and UV rays are not what feed plants. Therefore, window tinting does not hinder plant growth and in some ways may help it.

Myth: Window tinting is very expensive.
Fact: The cost of window tinting is much lower than replacing windows and with the money you save on heating and cooling bills, they pay for themselves in as little as 2-4 years.

Myth: Window tinting will take a really long time to install.
Fact: Window tinting on a residential home usually takes no longer than one day. Larger buildings take longer but only a fraction of the time of complete window replacement.
