Commercial Window film

Check out these seven commercial window tinting benefits.

1. Improve Energy Efficiency

Tinting business windows can make your building more energy efficient by controlling the heat from the sun. This is especially helpful during warmer weather when you're running your air conditioning. By cutting down on heat entering the building, your air conditioning can better keep up with the cooling needs, which can save on your energy use.



Tinting can also keep the temperature more consistent through the building. Without tint, you'll likely notice hotter areas near windows and colder spots away from the glass.

2. Protect Your Interior

Any time of year, the UV rays from the sun entering your building can cause damage to the interior. At a minimum, UV rays can cause fading on furniture, flooring, and other surfaces, making them look discolored and inconsistent. Some materials can deteriorate with UV rays.



Depending on your business, you could have sensitive materials or equipment near windows that are susceptible to UV damage. Window tint can protect those items from damage, which can save you money by keeping them in good condition for longer before replacing them.

3. Keep Employees Comfortable

If you've ever tried to work on a computer screen near a window, you know how annoying the glare can be. Yet you don't always want to close the blinds and block out all of the natural light. Benefits of natural light include improved sleep, decreased seasonal depression, and reducing the stress response that can often be affected by lots of time under fluorescent lights.

Business window tinting cuts down on the glare on computer screens and work surfaces while still allowing your staff to enjoy the brightness of the sun. They can see clearly and have less exposure to UV rays while still soaking up the benefits of natural light. This allows them to work more comfortably in their offices.

4. Improve Security and Safety

Keeping your business and employees secure is a priority to prevent physical harm and to protect your financial interests. Safety and security film can reduce the rates of successful break-ins and protect people inside the building.

Non-residence buildings, such as offices and stores, make up 28% of burglaries. Someone who wants to do a quick smash-and-grab job on your business has a much more difficult time when you install security film.

When the glass shatters, the ultra-tough window film holds all of the broken glass in place. Since it's difficult to penetrate the film, burglars can't simply smash their way into your building to steal things quickly. They'll often give up and leave the scene to avoid the risk of getting caught.

Along the same lines, safety and security film can keep people inside your store safer. Since it catches the glass, the film shields people near windows from being sprayed with glass shards or from stepping on glass when exiting the area. This can come in handy in bad weather if something slams into the building windows.

5. Create a Consistent Look From the Street

Tinting business windows on the exterior of the business creates a consistent image from the street. It can give your building a quick makeover without doing anything else, which makes it an affordable upgrade with a big impact. 



With regular glass, people will see lots of different views from the road depending on what's behind each window. With window tint, you get a smooth, seamless look. It makes the building look more upscale and professional.

6. Add a Decorative Look

Window tinting film comes in a wide range of options, not just solid colors. Decorative films come in a range of styles, adding a distinct look to your space. It can help fit with the style and branding of your business to combine all of the other benefits with a decorative touch.

Decorative film options mimic the look of many specialty glass treatments, such as frosted, etched, and stained glass. Replacing your plain windows with those special types of glass would be an expensive undertaking. Using window film gives you the same look at a fraction of the cost. 

Even better, you can customize these specialty window films by cutting them into any shape imaginable. You might create your company logo or the city skyline on a large glass partition inside your office, for example.



If you want something even more unique, you can choose brightly colored tint, decorative patterns like lines and fiber-inspired designs, or customizable designs. 

7. Increased Privacy

Business window tinting blocks the view inside the building from the outside, which can give your employees more privacy. This not only makes them feel more comfortable, but it can also protect proprietary information. It keeps someone from peering into the windows to see documents or computer screens with sensitive information on them.

It can also increase security by preventing potential burglars from seeing the inside of your business. If they can get a clear view, they can see exactly what you have available to steal. They can also scope out your security measures, building layout, and other details that would make it easier to break into your business successfully.



You can also use window tinting to improve privacy within the office. If you have a conference room or office with a large bank of windows dividing it from other spaces, adding a tint or frosted window look blocks the view into those spaces without making them feel totally blocked off. This provides increased privacy for confidential meetings and prevents people from viewing documents or computer screens in those areas.
