How Commercial Window Tinting Makes Your Building More Appealing

As well as offering extensive vehicle window tinting services, we also provide tinting services for the windows of commercial and residential buildings.

In commercial buildings, during the summer months, offices and shops can be extremely hot and stuffy. As well as hot computers, workers and customers, a lot of heat can come from solar energy transferred through the windows of a building. This heat gain combined with glare from the sun could cause a commercial building to be uncomfortable to be in, possibly leading to a drop in a business’s sales or productivity. Commercial window tinting can help to prevent this.

Window tinting can reflect bright light and solar energy, in some cases by up to 78%. This therefore can considerably reduce the build-up of heat in a commercial building as far less heat is absorbed through the window. In addition to cutting down on heat generation, a major benefit of commercial window tinting is the reduction of glare. On brighter days, glare from the sun can be a real problem, particularly in offices where computer screens can be hard to see properly.

Although glare on a computer screen can be cancelled out simply by closing window blinds, this can make an office environment seem more claustrophobic as there is less natural day light. Workers are generally happier and more productive when they have good access to daylight and a view of the outside world. As opposed to blinds, window tinting can reduce glare from the sun by as much as 93%, whilst still leaving a bright and more open feeling work environment.

Another major benefit of commercial window tinting is that it can give offices a larger degree of privacy as well as security. Windows with tinted films can be ideal for private meetings, where people outside of the room cannot look in. Tinted windows also give staff privacy from the outside world, as well as giving extra security to a business by hiding valuable products, technology or equipment.

By investing in commercial window tinting for all of the outward facing windows of a building, a business can achieve a highly modern and professional look to their premises.
