As snowbirds prepare to leave their Fort Lauderdale, Florida homes for the summer, a local window film company is advising them to consider installing window tint before departing. Home Window Tint, a family-owned business, says window film can provide added security, privacy, and protection against UV damage while properties sit vacant.

Why it matters

Many snowbirds assume they don’t need window film since they won’t be living in their Fort Lauderdale homes during the summer. However, the film can actually be most valuable when the properties are unoccupied, deterring potential intruders and preventing sun damage to interiors.

The details

Home Window Tint installs Vista window film, which comes with a lifetime warranty and can block 99% of harmful UV rays. The company’s professional team can typically complete an installation in a single day, with each window taking about 15 minutes. They’ve served the South Florida region for over 25 years, helping thousands of homeowners gain the benefits of window film.
