Architects, interior designers, commercial property owners and facility managers increasingly rely on solar window films, security window films and designer window tints to enhance commercial buildings. After all, they know, as you do, that window film technology can greatly improve the overall comfort, style, and privacy of any workspace, while providing energy savings which can’t be beat.
The glass in office, retail and residential buildings should be an asset, not a major source of discomfort or expense. Our window film solves a wide range of glass-related problems: high energy costs, tenant complaints, hot spots, eye-irritating glare, fading of furnishings, lack of privacy, security concerns and more.
Our extensive offering of problem-solving products includes energy-saving solar control film, privacy-enhancing decorative film, and protective safety and security film. All are amazingly thin, engineered with advanced technology, constructed for durability and covered by our manufacturer’s limited warranty.* This gives you the confidence and inspiration you need to find the ideal fit for your plans—whether they’re to improve an existing property or to design a new building from foundation to roof. We are commercial window experts at recommending film compatible with your glass or window type, performance needs and aesthetic preferences. These professionals are also highly skilled at installation and understand how to complete a project with minimal disruption.
1. Increased tenant comfort and reduced tenant complaints.
2. Tenant retention due to more usable space – eliminates hot and cold spots.
3. Updates building appearance without changing the overall exterior appearance.
4. Rapid return on investment.
5. Provides a more uniform appearance of a building.
6. Save on heating and cooling costs by filtering what is allowed in and out of your windows.
7. Protect your employees, merchandise, and equipment by blocking 99% of UV rays.
8. Stop glare from direct sun, snow, water, or surrounding buildings.
In many buildings, temperature fluctuations (and subsequent energy bills) are due to sunlight streaming through office windows. Too much sun, and offices heat up, while sunset and cloudy days cause the interior temperatures to decrease.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that one-third of a building’s cooling load is from solar heat gained through windows, and nearly 75% of existing windows are not energy efficient.
One easy and cost effective way to keep the temperatures in your building as constant as possible is with commercial energy-saving window film.
Professional energy audits estimate that buildings retrofitted with our premium energy-saving window films can realize annual energy savings as high as 15%, with reduced carbon emissions and a payback often as low as three years.
When you’re deciding between window replacement or installing energy-saving window film on existing windows in a commercial building, a number of factors may affect the choice you make.
Tenant complaints are often an early sign that your building’s windows need attention. New windows don’t always address complaints about heat or glare, and energy-saving window film can’t fix leaks or moisture, so identifying the real problem will help you focus in on the right window solution.
If the windows have air or moisture leakage, failed seals, or damaged frames (or if they aren’t structurally sound), then window film installation isn’t an option to address complaints or window problems. If your building’s windows are structurally sound and in good condition, window film can often take care of several of the common problems associated with windows in commercial buildings.
Tenants complaining about being too hot or cold come with the territory when managing a commercial building. Yes, it can be irritating at times, but it pays not to ignore this important feedback from tenants and occupants. In many cases, what’s good for thermal comfort is also good for your building’s utility bills.
Leaving blind and shades open reduces the need for lamps and overhead lighting – reducing costs – while helping occupants maintain a much desired connection with the outdoors.
By reducing heat and solar energy, windows tinted with our premium window films can help even out the hot and cold spots throughout your building. The result is more satisfied tenants and greater employee comfort.
It works in attracting premium tenants who are interested in environmentally friendly upgrades that can provide proven energy savings.
When comparing costs, it’s important to remember that the latest window film technology is a fraction of what you’d spend for replacement windows. Another perk, window film will reduce the time your HVAC system will run.
Everyone knows a sunny day can enhance your mood. That is why it is important to let the sunshine in. Unfortunately, the sun’s UV rays can damage skin and building assets if they are not controlled.
UV rays can penetrate windows in commercial buildings, homes and automobiles, exposing occupants and interior furnishings to an invisible danger. UV rays can fade furniture, wall coverings, artwork, fabric, flooring, and merchandise in store from window displays. UV rays are also linked to skin cancer. This exposure is cumulative, so the total damage an occupant receives is directly related to how often they’re exposed to UV rays.
Solar control window film is one of the easiest ways to mitigate UV damage. It can block more than 99% of harmful UV rays, while allowing in natural sunlight and providing unobstructed views. Window films also reduce solar heat gain, which may lower cooling costs. Newer Low-e Series window films offer year-round HVAC savings by helping keep radiant heat inside in the winter and outside in the summer. Window film is recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as part of a comprehensive skin care program.
