Why your turf is melting and how to protect your investment

Let us help you protect your investments with 3M Home Window Tinting today!

What could be causing your new turf to burn? Well, one of the leading causes of this are your existing windows. 

Windows regardless of age, condition, or design, reflect a certain amount of heat. When the suns solar rays reflect off the glass this can generate surface temperatures “well above that encountered from direct sunlight”. This acts in the same way as “when light passes through a magnifying glass.” The resulting effect can raise surface temperature to over 200°F (93°C), this effect can cause damage to nearby surfaces, including turf, vinyl siding, composite decking, and other building and landscaping surfaces.
