Did you know ultraviolet (UV) radiation is capable of traveling through your kitchen, bathroom and living room windows? They are not only damaging your furniture and other possessions, but exposing you and your family to harmful effects. Too much sun exposure can lead to visible signs of aging and even skin cancer; in fact, researchers have found that UV rays are able to bounce off water and sand, and even penetrate glass. Just because you’re underneath the umbrella or inside the house doesn’t necessarily mean you are staying protected from the UV rays. If you’re a resident of Vero Beach, Melbourne or surrounding area, this can be a daily challenge for you.
Before you panic, keep reading. The good news is that with advances in window tinting technology, Solar Solutions has measures that you can take to protect yourself and your home, and pick up a few added bonuses along the way! Both residential and commercial films are available with varied amounts of tint, cutting down glare by more than 50% while still allowing a substantial amount of sunlight to get through. These are both able to be adjusted based on the desire of the customer. These films block out up to a whopping 99.9% of UV rays, which substantially reduces the daily sun exposure that can accumulate over time. As mentioned earlier, this is important as UV ray exposure can lead to accelerated skin aging and greatly increase the risk of skin cancer.
Aside from health benefits, there are a few additional practical ways to improve your home or business by tinting your windows. During the hot summer (or quite honestly during the majority of the year in Florida), window tinting can cut down heat in the interior of your home. This not only makes your residence more pleasant and livable, but reduces your air conditioning bill, meanwhile extending the life of the unit by making it not have to work quite so hard. Additionally, window tinting reflects interior heat back inside the house, keeping you cozy and warm during the short weeks of Florida winter. Call us at 772-633-6795 to find out more!
