Will Tinting My Windows Make My House Colder in the Winter?

We’ve all been there. The weather is freezing cold and we nudge the thermostat constantly to get the right temperature. Others painstakingly tend to opening and closing curtains at just the right time throughout the day in belief that they are warming their house efficiently with sunlight. All this is for naught when their heater runs throughout the night to get the house back up to temperature after the sun sets. There is a better solution!

As a homeowner, you are always looking for new and cost-effective ways to heat or cool your home. In the winter, everyone relies on their heating. This is where window film comes in.
