When these benefits are so easy to opt into, getting commercial window tinting really is a no-brainer. 

Types of Commercial Tint Films

Depending on your geographical location, the direction of your windows, and what you’re looking for out of your commercial tint setup, there are a few different tint options available. These are the major 3 options on the market:

Solar Control Tints

Solar control tints tackle the primary effects from the sun: heat and UV rays. This tint works to create a more stable temperature inside the space increasing general comfort.

Privacy Tints

Especially if your commercial space is on a busy street, having privacy tints can focus attention on work, protect your workers and information. Especially if sensitive documents are part of your work, having privacy can be hugely important.

Decorative Tints

Part of business is projecting an image of what your company is and what you stand for. Having decorative tints can be a way to step up the aesthetic of any space to draw more customers in.

Benefits of Commercial Window Tinting

The benefits of commercial window tinting can be felt and seen on the bottom line. Depending on the type of tint you opt for, you can immediately see some of the benefits listed below:

Energy Cost Reduction

With solar control, commercial window tints help to create a more stable temperature and environment inside your commercial space. This not only can improve worker productivity, but can also save a business tremendous amounts of money through reducing energy costs. When you can leave the air conditioner off, you’ll save more money. 

Enhanced Privacy and Security

Enhance worker productivity by reducing distractions while protecting your employees and sensitive information with privacy tints. Nothing is more distracting than when outside people are constantly glancing at you and nothing can be more detrimental than important company assets being seen by unauthorized individuals. 

Glare Reduction

Little can be worse for an employee’s productivity than a nasty glare. Glares can make screens briefly unworkable while the angle is right. This is frustrating, uncomfortable, and can drastically reduce productivity.

Protection Against Interior Fading

When the sun shines through an unprotected window day after day, the UV rays eventually fade whatever objects are on the other side. This creates uneven, unprofessional aesthetics that many businesses would rather avoid. Protect your physical assets inside with a solar control tint.

The commercial tinting process is relatively quick and straightforward for a trained professional. Here is what to expect when signing up for commercial window tinting of your own.

Consultation and Custom Solutions

Before any purchases/installations, coming up with a plan is the first big step. How many windows do you want to tint? What is your goal for your commercial window tints? With these ideas in mind, we can start building a custom solution to match your precise needs.

Professional Installation Techniques

With a plan in mind, the tint can be installed. The process involves thoroughly cleaning your windows to remove any dirt and debris. From there, while the window is still wet, the tint film can begin being applied. A squeegee is used to press and adhere the tint to the windows while pushing out any air bubbles. At the corners, the film is carefully wrapped then trimmed away. From there, the tints are left to dry and are ready to transform your commercial space.

Maintenance and Longevity of Commercial Tints

Regular cleaning of your commercial tints is the best way to ensure longevity for your tints. Here are some of the best practices:

Cleaning and Care Tips

You should aim to regularly clean your window tints to keep them debris free. When cleaning, opt for gentler methods like hand washing with a soapy solution. Avoid more powerful cleaning methods like powerwashers. If you notice any holes arise, these can be patched. Avoid cleaning the hole so as to not further peel the tint creating a larger issue.

Expected Lifespan and Warranty

With proper care, you can expect to see your commercial window tints last anywhere from 5 to 7 years. Regular, gentle cleaning of the windows can help create this longevity. If scratches/holes arise, reach out to your installer to see about quick fixes. Most times, these issues can quickly be resolved, but in the worst case scenario, the tint can be removed and reapplied.
