From Tinting Breakwater Community Clubhouse to Fade Protection Window Tint by Shore Tint & More
When the summer sun shines on homeowners in Lewes Delaware, they often face the challenge of excessive heat buildup and UV rays coming through their windows. That was exactly the issue for this Lewes homeowner. The UV rays coming through the windows were already showing signs of fading throughout the home. Before refinishing and replacing the damaged flooring, they considered tinting the windows. Luckily, they found us after tinting their clubhouse and called us for a consultation. Here's a detailed look at how our recent window tinting project using 3M Prestige 70 Home Window Tint transformed their great room.
The Problem: Blocking the Damaging UV Rays and Infrared Heat without Losing the Natural Light
The homeowners wanted to help reduce the effects of the sun without losing the natural light into their home. The UV rays were starting to damage the hardwood floors and furnishings. With the addition to a few Odd Shape Windows, many traditional solutions like blinds, shades, and curtains were not able be fitted easily. Not to mention you'd lose the view and the natural light.
During the initial Consultation we could see how limited the amount of direct sun the home gets, so maintaining as much of the natural light while reducing the harmful UV rays was priority.
The Solution: Crystal Clear Fade Protection
After Discussing a few options we suggested 3M Prestige 70 and Clear View Ceramic 35 due to their Clear Views and High Fade Reduction properties. The Clients loved how clear the 3M Prestige looked, almost as if their was nothing on the windows. However when we tested the film samples with our UV and BTU meter you can surely feel the difference the Clear Film has. We left the Physical Data Cards with the clients so they can view them at different times of the day, review the different specifications between the solutions, and confirm their needs.
After a few days of considering they chose the clearest option that would let in the most amount of light - 3M Prestige 70. This professional grade home window tint is designed to let in the most amount of light through the windows, while maintaining high performance. This Crystal Clear Window film is filtering out 99.9% of the UV rays and over 50% of the total solar energy.
Installation Day: Climbing to Great Heights to Block the UV
Our lead Technicians Jared and Marvito, arrived promptly on time to the residence. They work together on a frequent basis so as a team they were prepared to get this project underway. Here's how they do it.
