Installing commercial window tinting can be one way to better protect your business’s privacy, security, and improve comfort while lowering high energy costs. Here are some top reasons why installing commercial window film is beneficial to commercial businesses.
More Sun Control with Commercial Window Tinting
3M commercial window tinting is scientifically proven to protect you, your employees, customers and company from the harmful effects of the sun. 3M™ Sun Control Window Films reduce heat, lower high energy costs, decrease glare, block UV rays and creates a more comfortable environment for your business.
Commercial window tinting can reduce heat and lower high energy bills. According to the Department of Energy, about 30% of the heat lost/gained occurs through a facility’s windows. 3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Prestige Series bocks up to 97% of the sun’s heat-producing infrared light, which has proven to reduce the indoor temperature as much as 9 degrees. Ultimately, this means your company’s HVAC system does not have to work so hard. Cooling costs are cut down by 30%, and in the summer, 10% of all energy costs are reduced.
Depending on the tint level you choose, 3M’s commercial window tinting can reduce glare between 76 percent (darkest tint) to 22 percent (clear tint). 3M™ Sun Control Window Film Prestige Series offers non-metalized, multilayer optical films that significantly reduce glare while permitting up to 70% of natural light flow into your office.
Commercial window tinting is also used to slow fading by blocking UV rays. 3M’s office tint blocks 99.9% of UV rays. This ultimately can save you replacement costs of faded furniture and flooring in the future. In fact, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame uses 3M™ to protect their collections from fading along with their people being exposed to unnecessary UV exposure.
Better Privacy with Commercial Window Tinting
Commercial window tinting adds a layer of privacy to your business in the areas that you need it most.
Research shows that with better privacy, employees have been proven to be more productive, and reduce distractions in the office.
3M™ Fasara™ Glass Finishes are ideal for creating privacy without sacrificing natural light. The films adhere to your existing glass, much like window tinting, to change the look. Made from a durable polyester film with pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, these films are manufactured by one of the world’s global leaders in adhesive technology and come in hundreds of patterns and textures – including etched, cut or sandblasted glass.
Add Fasara finishes to glass walls that separate meeting rooms or cubicles to add a level of privacy. These films also provide an element of safety – as glass walls can be transparent and run the risk of people walking into them.
Add a Layer of Security with Commercial Window Tinting
With the active shooter rates rising in the last few years, businesses are adding to their security systems and deciding to add commercial window tinting to the glass doors, walls and windows of their facilities.
3M™ Safety and Security Film works by holding the shattered shards of glass together after an impact. Backed by 3M, which is known for its innovation and technology, the films have been tested against explosions, spontaneous glass combustion, active assaults and more.
The film has proven to slow intruders by up to two full minutes, giving emergency officials time to arrive on the scene. In fact, a local jewelry store in Stuart, FL was able to prevent a robbing because of 3M™ Safety and Security Film.
3M’s safety tint has been installed on government and school facilities globally. Many businesses are opting to add safety and security film to their security systems.
