Why Should I Invest in Residential Window Tinting?
Window Genie of Toledo proudly performs residential window tinting services to improve people’s domestic lives and expenses in many ways. Below are descriptions of some compelling reasons to invest in residential window tinting:
Heat
Depressing summer temperatures and blinding sunlight pour through your home’s windows and serve as the leading cause of most of today’s homes’ heat gain. Film technology applied to your residential windows offers virtually invisible protection that reduces up to 79% of the sun’s heat and may drop your cooling costs by as much as 30%. Window Genie of Toledo’s top-of-the-line selection of window film options lets you choose a film product that meets your needs, and you can review samples while we visit you for a free consultation. Our highly trained and friendly team will gladly ease the workload on your HVAC system while increasing your family’s comfort.
Glare
Ridding your home of agitating glare is another reason people install window film in their homes. Manufacturers specially create these window films to make your home window views even better while reducing glare simultaneously. As the sun’s rays hit your glass, light displacement and refraction occur and affect your comfort. These blinding issues can make watching television difficult and ruin your windows’ scenic views. You’re supposed to enjoy your windows as you look through the glass and soak in the surrounding scenery. Window Genie of Toledo will gladly install window tinting at a competitive cost that fits within your budget, ensuring you can stream movies or shows and work on your laptop or desktop computer without using drapes or blinds to cover your windows.
Fading
The sun’s UV rays silently destroy your indoor investments, gradually fading the furniture in your living room, bedrooms, and other spaces. Most or all home window films provide up to 99% UV protection, but light and heat can dramatically affect your window film’s capacity to control and reduce furniture fading. Your stunning hardwood flooring and expensive leather couch may be at risk because of your windows’ poor protection against heat and sunlight over time. Window Genie of Toledo will safeguard your valuable furnishings against sunlight’s drastic damage. We’ll explain our fading chart and guide you through our product selection to determine which offers the best protection for your furniture.
Security
When natural disasters, accidental damage, or vandalism is a household danger, you need to protect your home and family against broken glass and flying debris. The right window film can prevent injuries and help you avoid a hazardous home mess. Installing window film binds damaged glass and holds it together, as you see with car windshields. Manufacturers design security window films to effectively block intruders and prevent windows from shattering. This extra glass safety measure is available in a wide array of options, such as clear and shaded films.
Privacy and Decoration
Decorative window film has grown in popularity due to the outrageous expenses of stained, etched, and privacy glass. Decorative film is cost-effective and gives your home’s windows style and privacy with all the benefits mentioned above. For example, installing frosted film in a ground-floor bathroom window can give it complete privacy. This option provides the benefits you need without sacrificing natural light filling your indoor space like blinds or curtains will do. Window Genie of Toledo can show and explain countless designs and styles to you, source the film you choose, and apply it to any windows in your home or office.

Why Choose Window Film?
Heat – The summer sun’s heat can be brutal. Did you know that windows are the number one cause of heat gain in most of today’s homes? With home window film technology, we are able to provide invisible protection for your windows which can reduce up to 79% of the sun’s heat while reducing cooling costs by up to 30%. With an industry leading selection of window film products, we’re able to provide free consultations and samples for even the most extreme situations. Window Genie helps increase comfort for you and your family while your HVAC system gets a break!
Glare – The second most common reason to apply home window film is to get rid of annoying glare. Window film was specifically created to reduce glare while enhancing the views from your home windows. Unfortunately when the sun hits glass it causes refraction and light displacement decreasing your comfort, making the television unwatchable, and destroying your windows’ views. Your home windows are meant to be looked out of and enjoyed, not covered by blinds and drapes just to be able to get some work done on the computer.
Fading – Also known as the silent destroyer, the sun’s UV rays are on a constant mission to fade your interior furnishings. Don’t be fooled, fading is real and probably happening right now! Most if not all home window films promote 99.9% UV protection. However, what you may not know is how light and heat actually impact how window film controls and reduces fading. Whether it’s a leather couch or beautiful original wood flooring you’re looking to protect, your local Genie is glad to explain the fading chart and walk you through which home window film will be the best for your fading prevention needs.
Security – When the event is natural disaster, vandalism, or accidental damage, you want to know flying debris and broken glass aren’t going to cause injuries or a dangerous mess. Window film helps damaged glass hold together, much like a car windshield. Security window films are designed to protect windows from shattering, keep out the bad guys all while adding an extra level of safety to your glass. Window Genie of Toledo offers a wide range of security window films from clear to shaded and custom designs.
Decoration & Privacy – Decorative window film is rising in popularity. Stained, privacy or etched glass can be very expensive. Decorative window film is a very cost effective way to add privacy and style to your windows while delivering on the above additional perks. For example, installing frosted film on a ground-floor bathroom window allows for complete privacy without sacrificing the inflow of natural light with blinds or curtains. With hundreds of styles and designs to choose, Window Genie can source and apply the right window film for your home and office.
Choosing the right window film:
When considering a window film for your home and office, you want to look at your need and price points. Now that we have the reasons for applying window film, let’s look at the technologies which are used to create window film. Most window film installers will break down their window film products in three (3) categories. These three categories represent the most common technologies and chemical make-ups of home window films.
Good – Your typical “good” window film is what is called a metalized or “dual-reflective” film. This type of window film is composed of microscopic pieces of metal which reflect and bounce heat and glare off a window in the same manner as a mirror. They are safe to apply on most windows because of their reflective properties. This type of window film is highly efficient and will greatly reduce heat and glare which lowers utility bills and creates a better view from the inside looking out. The one caveat with this film is that it lacks the external aesthetics and style most customers want on their homes. Having windows look like mirrors aren’t at the top of most customers’ minds when they think about heat and glare reduction.
Better – The next and most common home window film applied is called a dyed, pigment or hybrid window film. This type of window film uses a special blend of dyes and pigments to absorb the sun’s heat and UV rays. The main reason for its popularity is reduced reflectivity and more natural look from both inside and outside. However, in extremely hot or sunny situations, this type of window film may not be the right choice. This style of window film causes more strain on windows because of the absorbing properties and can cause added stress on your glass. It is also slightly less efficient than a metalized film as the reflective properties from the metalized films do a much better job at rejecting heat and glare as opposed to a dyed film’s absorption of the heat.
Best – Window film technology has come a long way over the past years. Today’s premium window film is made from ceramic and fine metals. Ceramic is one of the most durable and heat absorbent materials available. It is used as the insulator on spacecrafts, power lines and your toilet! Where dyed and pigment window films fall short, ceramic can be the answer. With properties better than metalized window films and unmatched clarity, ceramic home window films are the answer to any shopper who wants all the benefits of what window film can do without changing your views. Most premium ceramic window films will actually reduce your windows’ natural reflectivity, enhancing your view.
