South Jersey Window Tinting

Your mantra when building your dream home may have been “bringing the outside in,” but the resulting sunlight has showered your space with powerful ultraviolet light, leading to fading carpets, couches and even artwork. If that weren’t bad enough, there are areas of your home that actually gather too much sunlight, creating hot and cold spots that drive utility bills through the roof. The good news is you don’t have to pull the blinds to protect your family, furnishings and flooring. With a little window tinting, you can keep your gorgeous views and make everyday living a little more cost-effective.

Since 1985, South Jersey Window Tinting has been a leading contractor of window-tinting products, including the complete line of Vista window films, a high-end product with over 25 films to suit just about every purpose. Comprised of a micro-thin layer of polyester and metallized coatings bonded by adhesives, window films block out 99 percent of harmful UVA and UVB rays, eliminate glare and regulate hot and cold spots in your home. This translates into lower utility bills, which is not only good for the environment, but also for your pocketbook.

Rob Kemly, the owner of the company, says window films can also be a daunting foe against the whims of Mother Nature. “Applying a window film to your windows strengthens the glass from the elements, forming a shield against hail, high winds and heavy rain,” he says. “And if for some reason a window breaks, whether it’s from high winds or even a foul ball from a neighborhood softball game, the shattered glass is contained within the sheath of the film.”

One myth about window tinting is that it ruins your view. While most residential window film is lightly tinted, it’s not the color of the tint that does the work of blocking out glare and heat transfer. Instead, that’s accomplished by the material of the film, so there’s no need to apply a film with a very dark tint. South Jersey Window Tinting even carries a window film that allows complete viewing of the outdoors from inside the home, but prevents viewing of the interior of the home from the outside. That means there’s no need for window coverings, which keeps your view intact and saves you money.

If UV rays aren’t your concern, but you’re looking to add a little visual interest to a lackluster design scheme, decorative window tinting could be the answer. South Jersey Window Tinting carries a full line of decorative window films that come in a multitude of designs and patterns. Often used in bathrooms, children’s rooms, and as room dividers, these films can be easily removed or replaced to change the look of a room in an instant. Frosted films offer privacy for your windows, skylights and front doors while diffusing ambient light. Stained-glass window films give the look of original art at an affordable price. There are even do-it-yourself decals that come in mosaic patterns or simulate the rice paper look of Japanese shoji screens.

Maintenance, too, is a snap. “With the [window film’s] scratch-resistant coatings, windows can be cleaned and generally maintained the same way you did before you had the film applied,” says Kemly. All South Jersey Window Tinting products carry a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty against peeling, cracking, demetallization and delamination. The company also guarantees that when viewed from a distance of four feet, the film will not distort vision and will have a clean and uniform margin. If you’d like to see how the products work, South Jersey Window Tinting will provide a free on-site estimate. “We’re happy to come into the client’s home or business, take a survey and come up with a personalized solution to their ‘sun situation,’” says Kemly. “There’s never any obligation to customers, but once they experience the product up close, it’s hard for them not to see the difference it can make in everyday living.”
