Benefits of Window Tinting in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs sits nestled on the outskirts of Pike National Forest at the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills, a full 6035 ft above sea level and almost 1000 ft higher than its better-known neighbor–The Mile High City. A city situated at such high altitude enjoys a relatively temperate existence but one plagued by issues from the intensity of the sun. Here at Colorado Springs Window Film, we get daily inquiries wondering whether window tinting can be used to curb the glare of the extreme Colorado sun on their homes and businesses. The answer is yes. Window Tinting is not just for vehicles, in fact, a significant portion of buildings from towering skyscrapers to small residential homes use window tinting to keep the sun out of their buildings worldwide. Since Colorado Springs is a mile closer to the sun than other cities, the benefits are magnified. Benefits like:

Protection From Cancer: With an SPF of 1000, window tint blocks 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays and is even recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as part of a comprehensive skin care program.
Protection of Interiors: Window Tint helps preserve the color of fabrics and carpets. While also keeping hardwood floors, furniture and works of art from discoloration and fading.
Increased Comfort: The sun can make certain rooms too hot and some seem to get no sun at all. Still, other rooms are almost unbearable to sit in when the sun is at its peak. Window tinting can redirect sunlight, even out temperature and even redistribute sunlight throughout your home or office.
