Business/Commercial Window Tinting
What types of window tints are available for commercial buildings?
There are several types of commercial window tints available.
These include the following:
Reflective film
Reflective film is the most common window tint. It works like a one-way mirror.
Dual reflective film
Like reflective film, dual reflective film helps reduce people’s ability to see in while allowing people to see out still. The main difference between reflective film and dual reflective film is that dual reflective film helps block heat.
Low-E film
Low-E films help block heat from entering during the summer and heat from leaving during the winter. Modern Low-E films are clear, so visibility won’t be affected.
Frosted window film
Frosted window film enhances privacy while reducing the amount of sunlight that gets through a window.
Ceramic window tints
Ceramic window tints are clear tints that help block heat. The clear tint doesn’t impact visibility.
Spectrally selective window film
Spectrally selective window film is made to block sunlight wavelengths that are harmful to skin and cause interiors to heat up while letting safer, illuminating wavelengths through.
Neutral window film
Neutral window film helps lessen glare, protect against UV radiation, and keep interior temperatures cool.
Anti-graffiti film
Anti-graffiti film is made to protect against graffiti. Its material prevents spray paint and other coloring agents from bonding to the film, which allows graffiti to be whipped off somewhat easily.
Security film
The main goal of the security film is to strengthen the window. It covers the interior side of the window and helps to protect against shattering.
Please note that this list is not conclusive.
