The basic natural element that informs the work of decorating home windows is light.
Light mainly emanates from the sun but can be from an artificial source like electricity and when converted into its various forms it can act as an insulator.
The negative effect of light such as the damaging ultra-violet quality of direct sunlight on a person's body is one of the chief reasons for barring the bars of energy from reaching the interior of houses by use of effective tools like home window tinting.
The other household consideration is to protect damaging rays from reaching the evanescent surface of fading items like curtains, utensils, wooden furniture and sofa covers.
This primary preventative measure is done by choosing a tint with a neutral color that will reflect the light from penetrating the glass thus maintaining the natural cool conditions necessary for durability of the items.
The insulation effect of home window tinting is achieved through choice of dark shades that have the capability to bar, absorb, retain and convert the light energy into a form of heat that will keep the house warm during cold weather.
Like wise in the summer, the deflection of heat waves from reaching indoors helps to keep the temperatures down.
However, some tints require complementary air conditioning for they may retain too much heat and due to the lack of openings to allow the breeze through like in curtains, the place can get abysmally hot and inhabitable during the day.
The adornment character of the work should not compromise on the comfort factors that come with screening the interior.
Other devices that can be tinted from hurting light are television sets and computer monitors whose screens are hidden behind a mild filter that besides its office background enhancement features, nullifies visual impairment for the viewer.
