Window Tinting Penrith

Window tinting for Penrith’s heat

If you live in Penrith, you already know how hot it gets. Western Sydney sits away from the cooling sea breeze, and on 4 January 2020 the weather station at Penrith Lakes recorded 48.9°C, the hottest temperature ever measured in the Sydney basin. On a summer afternoon, west-facing glass in Penrith can turn a living room into an oven long before the air conditioner catches up.

That’s why heat reduction window film is the most common job we do in Penrith. A quality Solar Gard film stops a large share of the sun’s energy at the glass, so rooms stay cooler, the air conditioner works less and the hottest part of the day becomes bearable.

Penrith homes we tint

Penrith has a mix of established brick homes around South Penrith and Jamisontown, and newer estates in Glenmore Park, Jordan Springs and Caddens. The newer homes tend to have big open-plan living areas, large sliding doors onto the backyard and plenty of glass facing the afternoon sun. The older homes often have aluminium-framed windows and bedrooms that heat up all afternoon.

The most common residential window tinting jobs we see in Penrith are:

• West-facing living rooms and sliding doors that overheat every afternoon
• Bedrooms that are still hot at night after the sun has been on them
• Street-facing windows in new estates where houses sit close together, and privacy window film lets you open the blinds
• Timber floors and furniture fading in the sun, solved with UV protection film

Penrith businesses

Penrith is a major centre for Western Sydney, with offices, retail, medical practices and light industrial sites around the CBD, Kingswood and the hospital precinct. Large shopfront and office glass takes the full afternoon sun, and staff end up working with the blinds down all day.

Our commercial window tinting and office window tinting services cut glare on screens, reduce hot spots near the windows and lower air conditioning load. For shopfronts, a low-reflective film keeps the window display visible while blocking more than 99% of UV, so stock doesn’t fade.
