So, you want to increase the property value of your home (or commercial premises). I am not sure that considering window tinting is the first port of call for many. First cabs off the rank are usually the standard type of home improvements… things like bathroom or kitchen renos.
But did you know while window tinting might not be the first thing that comes to mind, it really can significantly boost your property’s value. In fact, this often-overlooked upgrade is often an afterthought. So today, I want to show you the wide range of benefits that can enhance the market value of your home in both subtle and substantial ways. Here’s a detailed look at how residential window tinting offers you the ability to increase the value of your home.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Everybody thinks about how much their energy bills are… especially if you don’t have solar or battery systems to soften the blow of expensive electricity prices. A huge plus side to tinting your windows is how much less you need to cool or heat your house. Here are some of those benefits:
Reduced Heat Gain
Tinted windows are a game changer for homeowners like you looking to keep your houses cooler in the summer. By blocking a significant amount of solar heat, window tinting reduces the reliance on air conditioning, leading to lower energy bills. This energy efficiency is increasingly appealing if you are conscious of rising energy costs. Did you know, that window tinting film can also slow heat loss in winter (while you’re trying to keep your home toasty warm)? And you do it while still allowing natural light.
Improved Insulation
Not only do tinted windows help in the summer, but they also retain heat during the winter months. In other words, they further contribute to energy savings. This marvellous dual capability makes your home more comfortable year-round and can be a strong selling point for if you’re a prospective buyer looking for a property that offers energy efficiency.
Sustainability Appeal
These days there’s definitely a growing focus on sustainability. If you ask real estate agents they’ll confirm that more and more people are searching for homes that demonstrate energy savings and have other eco-friendly features. Window tinting shows potential buyers that your home is both comfortable and environmentally responsible (and uses less power).
UV Protection
Preservation of Furnishings
All window tint films or solar window films have the ability to block harmful UV rays (and usually above 99%). Prolonged exposure to these rays can lead to fading and damage to furniture, carpets, and artwork. Hey, tinting protects people too, not just flooring, furniture and belongings! When you invest in window tinting, you protect the interior of your home, and preserve its aesthetics and functionality.
Protection of Valuable Items
This UV protection also extends to photographs, books, and other valuable items susceptible to damage from sunlight. If you’re in the market for a new home, or are thinking of selling your own, then you will appreciate the added value of knowing your belongings are safeguarded against fading.
Privacy and Security
Enhanced Privacy
Tinted windows provide increased privacy by limiting the ability of outsiders to see into your home. If your home has a lot of glass frontage onto the street, or allows prying eyes to see what’s going on, then film on your windows is an excellent upgrade from clear glass. It’s particularly beneficial for properties located in busy neighborhoods or close to foot traffic.
During the day, the light bounces off the film (sometimes the tint film acts like a mirror) and this prevents people seeing in. Privacy AND comfort!
Security Enhancement
Certain types of window film can act as a deterrent to break-ins, making it more difficult for intruders to see inside your home. Enhanced privacy and security can significantly increase home value. It’s a very effective safety feature.
The degree to which a product can enhance your home security does depend on the film itself and the system deployed. So, for example, all tint films hold shattered glass to an extent and can provide some safety, protecting people, pets and furnishings from the explosive effects of broken glass.
But for a film to be called security window film it does more than just stick to the glass. There are systems that include window frame involvement, protecting your home even more effectively, and deterring intrusion by minutes. This feature is more often used in commercial window tinting scenarios.
Curb Appeal
Looks great! LOL
Modern and Well-Maintained Appearance
First impressions matter, especially in real estate. Tinted windows give your home a sleek, modern look that enhances its curb appeal. A well-maintained exterior can attract more buyers and potentially lead to a quicker sale. The windows become more reflective. Rather than being able to see in, you can more easily see the beauty of the reflected garden and sky.
Reduced Glare
Glare reduction is a great benefit as home window tinting helps to minimise glare from the sun… which has the flow on effect of making your living spaces more comfortable and visually appealing. This is so useful especially if you own or are in the market for homes with large windows or expansive glass doors.
Improved Aesthetics
The aesthetic benefits of window tinting cannot be overstated. When you choose the right types of window tint, you can customise your home’s appearance to match your personal style… which can set your property apart in the market, increase your home’s value and attract a higher selling price.
