Chip Wade Shares Smart Summer Solution with XPEL Window Film

On today's Desert Living, home improvement expert and TV host Chip Wade shared a simple yet powerful solution for beating the summer heat—XPEL window film.

Wade explained how UV rays and heat from the sun can penetrate through home and car windows, raising temperatures and increasing energy bills. More importantly, prolonged exposure to UV rays can also damage skin and increase the risk of skin cancer.

XPEL’s window film offers an efficient fix. For vehicles, their advanced tint blocks 99% of UV rays and can keep the interior up to 15 degrees cooler. In homes, XPEL’s window film blocks both UV rays and up to 78% of the sun’s heat. Homeowners in places like Las Vegas have reported up to a 30% drop in power bills during peak summer months.

Wade also pointed out that many common window tints don’t actually block UV rays or reduce heat. XPEL’s certified installers can test your current window tint and upgrade it if needed.
