We all know that outdoor exposure to harmful UV rays from the sun can cause health risks, including premature aging of the skin, suppression of the immune system, damage to the eyes, and skin cancer. However, what most people don’t realize is that indoor exposure to UV rays streaming in through windows can also cause many of the same health issues. At Home Window Tinting, we do understand these concerns and that’s just one reason why we recommend window tint as a way of blocking out up to 99% of harmful UV rays inside your home or office.
How indoor exposure to UV rays can harm your health
· Skin Cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, chronic exposure to UV rays – including indoor exposure – accelerates the aging of skin five to seven years. In addition to accelerating skin aging, cumulative UV exposure also increases your risk of skin cancer. As a result, the Foundation recommends having special UV-protective film applied to your home or office windows.
· Eye damage. When you go outside on a sunny day, chances are that you wear sunglasses. If not, you should — because continued exposure to UV rays can increase the risk of developing cataracts or macular degeneration later in life. Although your eyes are not at risk as much indoors as out, there is still a good amount of exposure to UV rays even when you’re in the comfort of your home or office on a sunny day.

A Partial Solution
Many people think that blinds, curtains and other window treatments are the solution to blocking indoor UV rays, but the fact is that they offer only a partial UV shield. In addition to the problem of window treatments not offering full protection, who wants to keep their windows blocked all day long on a beautiful, sunny day?
Window Tint: The Best Solution
Window tints are specifically designed to block UV rays from the sun while still allowing natural light to enter your home (or office). Not only will you enjoy the peace-of-mind knowing that your health is being protected from the dangerous side effects of UV rays, but there are many other benefits to window tinting, including:
· Heat reduction. Energy efficient window tinting can reduce unwanted glare and remove up to 79 percent of the heat that enters into your home.
· Increases interior comfort year round. Window tint reduces excessive heat and cold.
· Enhanced Security. In addition to sun and heat control, window tinting is an excellent way to manage security concerns by adding privacy without sacrificing light.
· Increased energy efficiency and savings. Window tint reduces annoying glare and minimizes heat and air conditioning loss through windows, resulting in increased energy savings of up to 50%!
· Protection from broken glass. Window tint also makes windows safer and stronger, preventing injury and damage from broken glass.
· Decoration. Window tint can also add a decorative element to your home (or office) — and can accurately imitate the look of expensive windows, but at a much lower cost. It can also easily be removed if you move — or would like to change the look of the windows. Decorative window tints even come with a mural and can be applied to a picture window for an instant view.
· Affordability. Window tint is significantly cheaper than replacing your windows or buying expensive window treatments. And again, window tint is by far the most effective means to block out harmful UV rays. It’s a wise investment all the way around!
