Do you know how many degrees it reduces? What are the specs of this film? BTW you have too many soft toys.

looks a lot nicer.. it's costly but i think it's good investment if extra budget on hand.. especially nowadays everyone are stay at home most of the time.. a comfortable home is necessary

Yes. I have not seen my garden and outside wood/trees until today! To me the business case is to reduce the air conditioning bill but I think the ROI is probably 3 to 4 years!

However, the benefits are more than just cooling bill. I listed some benefits here:

1. Reduce room temperature via heat rejection. Thereby saving electricity bill

2. Protect furnishing such as curtains, sofa, photos, piano, etc which are placed near the windows.

3. Easier on eyes as tinting reduces glare. Everything looks softer!

4. More privacy at day time where I can open all curtains and outside people can’t see what is inside. I can also now see the birds perching on the trees in front of my house without opening my door or curtains 😬

On the other hand, the negatives are:
1. It is still expensive
2. If you are looking at this from security standpoint they are not as effective.
3. Performance will degrade over time. So you need to look for one with product and performance warranty for as long as possible - 5 years minimum. Some offers 7 or more years but they will be expensive

Thanks for sharing the picture TS, feels more cozy after tinting! would be great also to do an actual comparison of the electricity bill before the tint & after tinting the house. Thanks again in advance

I have installed this in early Feb. Prior to installation the weather was good and cloudy and not hot. For for about a month we don't use air-conditioning in living room during day and night time. My latest electricity bill is about RM500.

Prior to this, we turn on the air conditioning during the day in living room. The master bedroom air-conditioning is on during sleep time. The no change. The kids' rooms do not use much air-conditioning. That cost us about RM750 a month. If we use all air-conditioning for all units that will be about RM950.

So my preliminary answer is I save about RM200 a month and can be in my living room comfortably even during this hot CNY period without using air conditioning

Hi there!

It's been three years since this post about window tinting, and I'm curious to know how tints hold up over time. Do they still function well after a few years?
