If you live in an area like Texas, California, or Florida tinted windows aren't as much an option as they are a necessity. I know I missed a few locations, but you get my point. In areas where the temperatures get very hot and the sun is out nearly all the time window tinting is even more important.

Let's take a look at some of the reasons you would want tinted windows. First let's talk about automotive window tinting. If you own a vehicle then you know how hot it can get inside without tinted windows but there are other issues as well. The sun's rays will fade your vehicles interior and will also weaken the fibers. If you have a leather interior the rays will cause it to dry and crack. Applying window tint can prevent much of this as well as keep the temperature of the inside of your car from getting over heated from the sun.

Just remember that there are still laws regarding visibility in the United States and you need to check the local ordinances if you are applying the window tint yourself. Another use for window tint is in your home. If your house is situated so that it gets a lot of sun coming through the windows during the morning and evening hours then you may want to consider tinting the windows.

Again just as is the case with automobile interiors the rays of the sun will fade and damage your carpets, wood floors, furnishings, and even the paint on your walls. In addition the heat from the rays of the sun will put a lot of strain on your cooling unit as it tries to keep the house at a modest temperature setting while the sun's rays are heating it up. You will not believe the energy savings you will see after you have applied residential window tinting to your home.

Finally, if you own a business with lots of windows exposed to the sun you should consider commercial window tinting for the same reasons I have described for the home. If you own a restaurant with many windows then it will make your customers feel much more comfortable not to have the sun beating in on them while they are trying to enjoy a nice meal. In addition any business with numerous windows will have an excessive power bill due to the over heating from the sun's rays and the loss of cooling through the windows. Window tinting is not optional in areas of the world where the heat and sun's rays are intense. Proper application is actually an investment that will protect your assets and make them last longer and will in the long run save you money.
