One popular use of glass tinting is in house windows to reduce the amount of UV radiation which enters the building. UV radiation causes fading in paintings, upholstery, and carpeting over time, and by using glass tinting a homeowner can slow down this inevitable process. This type of tint is usually made to allow as much natural light in as possible -- to keep the house well lit -- while stopping only the damaging bands of light.

Preventing heat gain is also an important use of glass tinting. In warmer climates, energy costs can increase significantly due to a constant need to cool off the interior of a house because heat is added over the course of the day through sunlight. While one option is to use curtains or shutters to block out the light entirely, many people want an alternative which allows them to continue to enjoy the ambient daylight, but reduces the heat that light brings. Glass tinting is extremely effective, often blocking more than 50% of solar heat by increasing the reflectance of the glass surface.
