Santa Monica gets extremely hot during the summer. With the sun beating down almost every day, it can feel almost impossible to escape the heat, even in your own house. The sun’s rays will shine straight into your home and bring the heat with them. Unless you want to keep your blinds closed all summer, the rising temperatures inside your home seem like an inevitable part of this time of year. But there is one other alternative–you can get window tinting in Santa Monica.
How It Keeps You Cool
Letting light into your home doesn’t have to mean letting heat into your home. The heat comes in through infrared and visible light spectrum. Window films can filter these rays out, still allowing light into your home without heating up the space. And since the temperatures inside aren’t rising as rapidly, your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your house cool, so your utility bill will be much lower.
Other Benefits
In addition to keeping your home cool and lowering your utility bill, applying window films to your home’s windows can offer some other benefits as well. First, did you know that those UVA and UVB rays we mentioned earlier can actually damage carpet, upholstery, and artwork? The rays can bleach out the fibers and cause irreparable damage; window films keep those rays out and protect your possessions.
Additionally, UV rays are the cause of sunburns–yes, you could potentially get a sunburn inside your own home! Window films prevent this from happening by keeping the UV rays outside where they belong. So if you want to get a tan, you won’t be able to do it while sitting in front of your living room window.
If you want to lower your cooling bill and experience the other benefits we’ve mentioned, contact us for window tinting in Santa Monica before the summer is over.
