Q: How long does home window tinting last?

• <div><p>On average, professionally applied residential window tinting can last anywhere from five to 25 years. The quality of the film material and installation help to determine if film will stay. In addition, gently cleaning windows with film can increase their longevity. Harsh and abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based and ammonia-based cleaners, and sharp scraping tools and scrubbers can all prematurely destroy the film's surface. Use a microfiber towel and gentle cleaning solutions to get rid of dirt and residue to prolong a tint's lifespan.</p></div>

Q: How do you black out a window cheaply?

• <div><p>You can easily and cheaply use tin foil or cardboard to black out your windows. Save a pretty penny by cutting either material to the size of your windows and taping it to the window. This is one of the easiest and most budget-friendly blackout solutions, but it definitely isn&rsquo;t the most aesthetically friendly. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of window tinting?

• <div><p>Tinting your windows can provide many benefits, like added security, privacy, safety, and protection from UV rays. However, not all window tinting serves all of those purposes, so before you commit to a type, make sure you understand the benefits it offers. </p><p>For example, security windows don't typically offer much in the way of UV protection, but they're ideal for protecting your home from intruders. Meanwhile, ceramic window tints won't prevent glass from breaking like security windows, but they provide ample protection from UV rays in addition to heat absorption capabilities. </p></div>

Q: What type of window is most energy efficient?

• <div><p>Typically, triple-pane windows made with krypton gas filling are the most energy efficient. A window&rsquo;s frame, glass, design, and installation all affect its energy efficiency. These windows, in particular, are designed highly effectively in terms of their ability to insulate.</p></div>

Q: What is the best tint percentage for a house?

• <div><p>A 35% tint is the most popular for home windows. This level is significantly darker than the legal tint limit for car windows&mdash;usually around 70%. At 35% tint, more than half of the incoming light is blocked. This tint percentage still allows for plenty of natural light to fill your space while drastically improving your home&rsquo;s energy efficiency and comfort in your living space. If you hire a professional to tint your windows, they usually bring screens to show you what different tints will look like to make it easier to choose what&rsquo;s right for your home.</p></div>

Do not hire this company to stain the exterior of your house! First, their idea of pressure washing prior to staining was to lightly rinse the wood rather than pressure washing to open up the pores of the wood. An exception to this is when the power washer decided to etch the wood (photo)....
