Window Tint is Sunscreen for your Windows!

Window Tint on your car, home and office windows has many more benefits than just reducing heat and glare and providing privacy. Think of Window tint as a sunscreen for your windows. In the Winter month’s most people don’t think about sunscreen but you should. It's cold, it's snowy and you don't think the sun is causing much damage.

 In Colorado, we get over 300 days of sunshine a year. So even though it is chilly outside, the sun is still shining brightly. If you stand in the right spot you can actually feel the warmth from the sun. We get the best of both worlds but we also have a bit more to worry about because we get so much sunshine and we have a higher altitude.

In high altitudes and in winter months, the sun's UV rays are actually increased. Exposure is increased because of the decreased atmosphere and because the sun’s UV rays reflect and/or bounce off the snow and back at you.  That means those damaging UV rays actually hit you twice! Double Whammy, Snow Burn! Rays account for up to 95 percent of UV rays that reach the Earth’s surface, they penetrate deeper into skin, cause wrinkles, and are the culprit for melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer. When elevation increases so do the sun's strength. The thinner atmosphere absorbs fewer UV rays, allowing them to pass through to the Earth much easier and with much more power, this greatly increases the risk of exposure. When living or vacationing in high altitudes, it is extremely important that you take extra precautions to protect yourself from the sun's harmful UV rays. UVA 

Many places have an abundance of snow in the Winter months. When the sun's UVA rays bounce off the snow it creates an effect similar to being at the beach. These rays can be very intense and act the same throughout the year penetrating clouds and yes, even glass. Even just a few minutes of sun exposure during the day can wreak havoc. Not only on your skin but on the Interiors of your Home, Office, and Car. Over time those minutes add up and can cause noticeable changes to the skin, such as freckles, age spots, spider veins on the face, blotchy complexion, and fine wrinkles. Also causing cracking to car interiors and fading on floors and furniture. From repeated exposure to the sun's harmful rays, this photo aging process is inevitable and the only way to prevent it is by shielding yourself from the sun. Use a stronger sunblock during the winter months and in higher altitude and apply a window tint on your car, home, and office windows.

The most neglected area of exposure to the sun is glass! Many people feel that their glass alone is enough protection from the sun's harmful rays. This is absolutely WRONG!. Glass can actually magnify the effects of the sun most notably called the greenhouse effect. It can make a home, office and car interior even hotter.
