4 Myths About Window Tinting

Why To Install Window Film On Your Fort Worth Home or Commercial Property

Once a simple trading post, Fort Worth Texas is today a 100% modern city. It offers many diverse attractions to boast about including the Kimbell Art Museum, The Fort Worth Stockyards and the National Cowgirl Museum. There are no signs of the Fort Worth economy slowing down and people are moving here in droves to take advantage of the economic boom, the Texas lifestyle and, of course, the weather. While the Fort Worth weather is fairly temperate, one thing we hear about quite often here at Fort Worth Window Film is the problems that arise with the intense Texas sun. At the same time, we field many questions about window tinting, some of which have brought out a few myths that the general public may believe about the cost, utility, and appearance of window tinting. Below are some of those myths dispelled to help you make a more informed decision on window tinting for your house or commercial property.

Myth: Window tinting will make it dark inside your home or business.
Fact: Window tinting does not stop the sun from penetrating into your home or business. In fact, many window films actually work by redirecting sunlight deeper into your home or business, making it brighter and more comfortable even in areas not directly in front of windows.
Myth: Plants can’t grow in buildings with tinted windows.
Fact: Window tinting blocks harmful UV rays from coming through your home’s windows and UV rays are not what feed plants. Therefore, window tinting does not hinder plant growth and in some ways may help it.
Myth: Window tinting is very expensive.
Fact: The cost of window tinting is much lower than replacing windows and with the money you save on heating and cooling bills, they pay for themselves in as little as 2-4 years.
Myth: Window tinting will take a really long time to install.
Fact: Window tinting on a residential home usually takes no longer than one day. Larger buildings take longer but only a fraction of the time of complete window replacement.
