Answering your window tinting questions

What type of window tint is best for homes?

Several window tints are available for residential properties. The best tints for homes offer UV protection and reduce solar glare.

Privacy tints are a good option if you want to increase your privacy. Choose a decorative window tint to boost your home's aesthetic appeal.

Do tinted windows keep your house cooler?

Window tints can reduce a property's interior temperature. The thin film lowers the amount of sun heat that can enter your home.

Window tinting has many benefits. If you live in a warmer climate, this window upgrade will keep your home cooler for longer.

Does tinting house windows reduce light?

Tinted windows will minimise the amount of solar glare entering your home. Your interior space will not be as bright, but you will benefit from enhanced privacy and home security.

Tinted windows are not black out blinds! That being said, you will notice less natural light entering your home.

What is the best percentage for home window tint?

Window tint levels are measured in VLT (visible light transmission) percentages. A tint with a 50% VLT level will allow 50% of natural light to enter your home. The higher the percentage, the more light the tint will let through.

The best tint percentage will depend on your needs. 20% window tints are a good option for homeowners seeking extra privacy. Choose a higher percentage to reduce the sun's glare without losing too much natural light.

How much does it cost to tint a window?

The following factors influence home window tinting costs in the UK:

• Window age - Many new windows have built-in UV protection. Older glazing may need a more complex tint than newer windows

• Tint materials - Window tints are available in various materials and serve different purposes. Silver reflective tints are the most budget friendly and insulating tints have a higher price tag

• Window size - Larger windows will need more film and take more time to tint. The extra materials and labour costs will increase your final fee
