If you live in an apartment facing east, strong light from the northeast can become a problem, especially in summer. Of course there are quite a few solutions. You can use blinds, curtains, drapes but you can also replace your windows with others specially designed to prevent this problem. Mirrored tinted windows are an excellent solution. Although they cost more than a normal double glazed window, they provide protection from sun and heat. This type of glass comes in several shades and reflects light, thus providing sun protection as well as privacy (during the day, the interior is not visible from the outside).
But if you do not have the necessary money or the patience to go through a replacement windows Denver project, it is good to know that existing residential windows can be tinted, by applying special films on the glass - which is cheaper and easier to install. Tinting your windows improves the indoor thermal comfort. During the summer, they can stop the penetration of the sun in a proportion of up to 70%, filter the solar radiation, prevent excessive raise of temperature (indoor temperature can decrease by up to 7 degrees) and insulate the rooms, in winter.
Besides solar window tinting, you might also be interested in the other available options: security window tinting, which provides extra protection against break-ins, and decorative tinting, to make your windows look more aesthetically pleasing.
