Have you found yourself cranking up the heat lately and trying to make your home more comfortable for your and your family? Trying to get a good night’s sleep, concentrate on tasks, and manage the kids can be difficult if all you can think about is how freezing cold it is inside. And forget trying to sit anywhere near the windows without a blanket. Not to mention, as temperatures drop, your energy bill goes up, which can cause an unnecessary headache for this already stressful time of the year. But you’ll be happy to know that there may be an easier way to survive winter storms this holiday season. A recently conducted case study revealed that window tinting could be the solution that Colorado Springs families are looking for this winter.

An Interesting Case Study on the Benefits of Window Tinting

Our story begins with a couple living in North Carolina. Now, you may be thinking, North Carolina, what does that have to do with my family in Colorado Springs? Well, because of its close proximity to the Appalachians, North Carolina actually has a similar climate to Colorado, except with more humidity. The state experiences lows in the single digits during the winter as well as several inches of snow and high temperatures in the summer. Sounds familiar, right?

Anyway, two homeowners in NC were having trouble keeping their luxury home at a comfortable temperature. There were three 18 foot windows in the living room that were poorly insulated and were responsible for their discomfort. At a loss of how to resolve their issue, the homeowners contacted Sun Protection of Cary, NC. The company told them about EnerLogic films and brought over a sample to demonstrate its solar control capabilities. “…you could see and feel the difference even with just the samples,” stated the homeowner.

A Cost Efficient Way to Control Indoor Temperatures

EnerLogic films have year round benefits. They have a low-emissivity coating that helps to reduce heating costs by reflecting 92% of radiant heat back into the room. During the summer, the film blocks out excessive heat to keep indoor temperatures cooler.

Incredible Protection for Furniture and Flooring

But energy savings weren’t the only benefit of their new window tinting. Not only did the film effectively control the temperature of their home, but it also protected their fine furniture from UV damage. EnerLogic films block out up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays that are responsible for bodily illness and photodegradation in dyes and fabrics, which leads to warped or bleached looking furniture and flooring.
