Window Tinting Business

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

A Ridiculously Low-Cost, High Return Investment

Ever considered a Home Window Tinting business? If you say no, it’s probably because you haven’t heard that it can be a lucrative business or you are aware of such business but have no idea how much profit it can earn.

As mentioned, home window tinting business is lucrative because of the many benefits that home owners have seen in window tints. It provides privacy, security and blocks 99% of the UV rays.

There are different shapes and sizes of home window tints. Regardless of the size (or shape), installation of home window tints is easy, much easier than applying tint in car windows.

Going back, setting up a home window tinting process is very easy to do. People who have been successful in the window tinting business did not even have to go to any training school to learn the process of window tinting. They just did trial-and-error and learned by themselves! It is actually a practical move since teaching themselves only cost them a few rolls of the film that they needed to play with and that’s it.

Windows tinting involves three basic steps: preparing the pattern, cleaning the glass window, and applying the tint. The preparation only involves cutting the pattern. Some people use pre-cut pattern to save time and money but sometimes the pre-cut don’t match the shape of the window. In other words, it’s best to buy the whole film and just cut it according to the shape of the window. Once the film is cut, the windows should be squeaky clean before the application of the tint. You can just use soap and water on a spray bottle to clean the windows and wipe it with a clean cloth. Just make sure that no fiber of the cloth is left on the window. Once done, a squeegee is used to apply the tint smoothly onto the window. This is to make sure that no bubbles and formed on the tint when applied.

Cool Down Your Office With Reflective Blinds

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Today’s interior working environment sets a premium on naturally-lit open work spaces which allows individuals and workgroups to communication freely, and to enjoy a higher level of personal comfort. This design consideration must also take account of the almost universal use of computer workstations and VDU’s for the widest range of office-based tasks.

A second influence in the provision of modern workplaces is the design trend towards open-plan office accommodation and the use of larger areas of glass in building design. This has been brought about by incorporating curtain wall glass facades and glass partitioning within the building interior.

However, these design trends can present certain challenges to the average office worker. Excessive amounts of uncontrolled sunlight entering a building cause solar gain and unwanted glare. Productivity at the workstation can quickly deteriorate when temperatures rise and computer screens become illegible. In most instances, the solution to these problems has been to install blinds and extra means of building ventilation and cooling. Normal fabric blinds, even those with a slightly metallised backing, not only block the view, but are inefficient at reducing solar heat gain because they do not have the power to reflect the heat back through the glass, merely absorbing the solar energy which radiates into the room. Air conditioning is expensive to install and run, with the heat already in the building, and is not carbon-friendly.

A technically advanced and environmentally friendly solution to these problems is to use energy control roller blinds featuring transparent and reflective ‘shade’ films. These are manufactured and installed by Sun-X using exactly the same technologies as those used for Solar film applied directly onto glass. They permit excellent visual transparency, whilst allowing the user to reduce the amount of glare and heat entering the works area, only as and when required without permanently reducing light levels.

Solar blinds reject up to 95% of solar energy, and glare reduction of up to 98%. Over 99% of ultraviolet light is also eliminated, helping to reduce fade and rot damage to valuable fabrics and furnishings.

The films are also available with an embossed surface, helping to diffuse incoming light, thus further reducing direct and indirect glare. The direct reflectivity is also reduced, enhancing the aesthetic appearance from both internal and external views. Durability and longevity are also greatly improved.

‘Shade’ blinds are also very effective and desirable in domestic conservatories, where daytime privacy may also be required in addition to the solar benefits, whilst still allowing the occupants to look out onto their garden.

A recent addition to the range is a Fire-Retardant reflective material, tested to EN13501, thus allowing applications in locations with public access.

Sun-X (UK) Ltd. manufactures shade blinds in their own workshops, and provides a nationwide installation service through the United Kingdom – please contact Sun-X to find out more. Sun-X has been established for over 40 years, and is the only company of its type to hold the Royal Warrant, By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen.

In summer, tinted windows are able to keep the harsh, strong and heavily heated UV rays of the sun out by means of using heat resistant and reflecting material on the outside of the window or external glass surface.

Window Film and Security

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

Feeling safe and secure in your home is one of the things on which most people do not want to compromise. The use of heavy drapes can also be a detriment because you cannot see out either. You do not know if someone is loitering in your yard or around your home. Going out side to see is not a good idea either. In fact, this can be dangerous. However, if you use Window Tinting on your windows, you can see out but those on the outside cannot see in.

Window Film is one of the best ways to keep your home safe and secure whether you are home or not. Many times burglars use the view of the inside of your home to determine whether anyone is home or not. The use of Window Tinting can keep the inside of your home invisible to thieves. This can be one of the ways of deterring a burglar from breaking in your home. Keeping your home in great shape and all your belongings intact is a very good reason for using Window Film.

Window Tinting Protects Furniture and Gives Privacy

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Using Window Film will cost less in the long run when you consider the cost of replacing many of the items in your home. Drapes, furniture, carpeting and even wood floors can become faded in a matter of months from the effects of the sun beating on it day in and day out. This can end up being quite expensive. Good furniture is not cheap and the expense of having to replace wood flooring that does not match the rest of the room can be a frustrating experience.

Another benefit of the Window Tinting is the privacy it affords you when you are in your home. No one likes to feel ill at ease in their own home. But the fact remains that unless you use heavy drapes that block out even the view that you like to look at occasionally, you can be the object of anyone’s attention. This is especially true at night when the lights are on in your home.
