Is Professional Window Tinting Worthwhile for Your Business?

Homeowners and business owners primarily used window films for heat and glare reduction. But as the years go by, manufacturers keep adding onto their features, starting with their durability and ease of maintenance.
​
If you're contemplating whether commercial window tinting is worth your investment, learn a few reasons why you should invest in window tinting for your business. 

​It Reduces Energy Costs

Window tinting indirectly lowers your energy bills by either blocking glare, heat, and UV rays emitted by the sun or acting as a heat insulator. Your HVAC system works to keep your commercial space cool or warm, depending on the season, but with the window film, your HVAC unit won't have to work so hard. 

During the summer, the tint will block UV rays and heat from the sun up to 65 percent because of its high infrared reflectance. So, your air conditioner won't have to strain to keep the room cool. During winter, the window film will act as a heat insulator retaining the heat within the room so you won't have to crank up your AC. 
​
By lowering the usage of your AC, you save on energy costs.

​It Decreases Heat and Glare

Depending on the type of film you choose, you can block between 65 percent to over 80 percent of heat and glare; this is especially true for solar window films and sun protection films. ​

Window tints can also reduce light reflection and glare, which can be quite a relief, especially for those who are photosensitive. The tint will block light, which minimizes squinting; hence, allowing for a pleasant working environment.

​It Provides Privacy

​Window films provide privacy by reducing glass visibility. Like tinted windows in cars, commercial window films can have the same effect where you rarely see past the film. You can also get a frosted/ translucent film where visibility is blurred or a mirrored window tint which blocks visibility entirely, as long as the light difference between the two sides of the window is six to ten times greater. 

​It Adds an Aesthetic Appeal

Window films can add to the exterior appeal of the business since there are a variety of films. There are various shades of black offering light in different percentages. Some window glaze doesn't even have dye but offers other benefits such as heat protection.
​
Lastly, you can choose decorative window films or custom graphics, which you can use to advertise your business. 

​It Protects Against the Sun's Harmful UV Rays

Tinting your windows can protect your staff and customers from the sun's harmful rays. As you know, the sun emits UVA and UVB rays which can cause aging and burning of the skin, not to mention, can be a hazard for those who have skin problems such as cancer. Therefore, adding a film to your windows ensures your building occupants are safe from sun exposure. 
​
Additionally, sun protection can prevent property damage such as fading of your furniture, floors, wall paint, electric office equipment, and any window treatments you might have done. 

It Offers Safety

Lastly, the window tint added to your windows can ensure the safety and security of your building occupants if and when an incident occurs by holding together broken pieces of the glass window. Note that the film doesn't prevent the breakage of the glass; instead, it only holds down the pieces, so glass shards don't go flying about, injuring people. 

Such window films are made of heavy gauge polyethylene terephthalate which can withstand strong impacts such as wind storms, hurricanes, and even bomb blasts.

Elevate your business by investing in commercial window tinting; they're safe, energy-efficient, aesthetically appealing, and provide for a comfortable working environment.
