If your home has a sunroom or glass-enclosed addition that you rarely use because it's too bright or too hot in the summer, consider having window film put on the glass. Walls of windows are nice for giving you a spectacular view, but they also let in UV rays and heat. Window tinting solves that problem and allows you to get more enjoyment from your glass-enclosed room. Here's how.

Window Tinting Reduces Harsh Glare

While you may love sitting in your sunroom to watch the birds in your yard or admire your outdoor landscaping, you may have a hard time seeing much if harsh glare blocks your view. Tinting reduces glare, so you not only see the view more clearly, but you can also see well enough to read your laptop or tablet.

This could even allow you to set up your homeschool or home office in the glass room so you are connected to the outdoors, rather than feeling shut inside and isolated.

Window Film Blocks Heat Transfer

Window film helps your sunny room stay more comfortable in the summer and winter by blocking heat transfer. In the summer, the film keeps intense heat on the outside of the room so you stay cooler inside. The opposite happens in the winter when the film keeps heat inside the room so you stay warmer.

Window tinting could be especially helpful if your glass room faces west or south and gets full sun all day in the summer. By keeping the room cooler, you might be able to save on energy costs too.

Window Tinting Protects Against Sun Damage

Once you're able to use your room more often, you may want to decorate it like you do the other rooms in your home. Window tint blocks UV rays, so the furniture and rugs you buy won't fade as fast. This is a nice benefit for a room with full sun for hours each day since fading and sun damage to fabrics could be an issue after several months.

Window Tint Could Protect Your Skin

Quality window film blocks UV rays, and that protects your skin from sun exposure. Talk to the window tinting dealer about the best type of window tinting to buy based on what you want to get from the film.

Choose one that blocks the highest percentage of UV rays when you want protection from skin cancer as you bask in the light from the walls of glass every day. Other features you may want are dark tinting for privacy or even impact film to protect the glass from storms or intruders.
