Go Green with Window Tint from West Michigan Glass Coatings in Grand Rapids MI
West Michigan Glass Coatings installs the window tint Grand Rapids needs, not just because it looks great, but also because it is ecofriendly and helps keep energy costs low.
We sell and install specialized window films for residential and commercial buildings made by 3M Window Films, which has itself been recognized as a green sustainable company. Our team is excited to bring green living and cost savings to homes and businesses in Southwest Michigan from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids.
Why is it good to go green with West Michigan Glass Coatings? As a 3M Authorized Window Film dealer, here are four reasons why we are proud to sell and install this environmentally friendly option:
Retain heat in winter, deflect it in summer. It may seem simple, but having 3M Window Films installed helps to maintain internal temperatures, which in turn reduces the cost of heating and cooling. Loss of heat through windows and doors in the winter and the entry of the heat of the sun baking your house in the summer tops our list. Window tint in the Grand Rapids area will reduce heat loss in the cold season by reflecting up to 35 percent of heat back into the room. In summer, 3M Window Films will reduce up to 99 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet rays and reject up to 79 percent of the solar heat.
You need more than caulking and weather stripping for energy efficiency. These upgrades will help conserve heat or air conditioning depending on the season. However, glass is not impermeable. From the very first day you have 3M Window Film installed, you will notice a difference, especially in the heat of a Michigan summer.
Sure you could use tinfoil in summer, shrink wrap in winter, and heavy curtains. But none of these options will block the ultraviolet rays and infrared light as well as the window films designed and manufactured by the sustainable 3M Window Film company. We’d argue that none of these look as nice as the selection of window tints available to Grand Rapids from West Michigan Glass Coatings. Plus, you get all the benefits of energy efficiency without sacrificing natural light.
You can target the windows that need tinting for maximum effect. Windows that face east and west are usually those that need cover from the summer heat–dawn to dusk. When we professionally install 3M Window Films, the finish is flawless. There are options, as well, for decorative finishes and reflective alternatives that allow for privacy inside.
