Lower monthly operational costs for your business by installing 3M commercial window tinting.
3M’s state-of-the-art business window tinting is designed to improve comfort and security and give you peace of mind while giving you the opportunity to save money. Here’s a look at how you can save money on high energy costs, replacement costs and loss from theft with commercial window tinting.
Commercial Window Tinting Pays Back in Three Years
Your business investment in commercial window tinting can be paid back in as little as three years due to energy cost savings.
3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Prestige Series is constructed using hundreds of layers of thin film, each one specifically placed to deflect the sun’s unwanted rays away from your office tinted glass. This results in less heat pockets or temperature differences near your glass doors and windows – meaning that your facilities’ HVAC system does not have to work so hard to keep everyone cool. The effect? You will experience lower monthly energy bills associated with cooling your building.
3M studies have shown that energy savings over the course of three years covers the cost of the film and installation. Meanwhile, you experience a more comfortable, cooler place to operate your business.
Commercial Window Tinting Results in Less Replacement Costs
3M commercial window tinting blocks 99.9% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, which is the leading cause of fading furniture and flooring.
According to the University of Central Florida’s Florida Solar Energy Center, “Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is the single largest contributing factor in fading of fabrics, carpets and other furnishings. Although visible light, electric lighting, heating, humidity, age of fabrics and fabric dyes all play a part in the process, UV radiation is attributed to 40% of the damage. Protecting against UV is not just important in hot, sunny climates. Even in cold, cloudy climates, UV radiation can damage furnishings.”
Fortunately, 3M’s building window film is constructed to block UV rays, and your business will not need to replace faded furniture, flooring and décor as frequently. This is because of the way the film is constructed to deflect the sun’s harmful rays away from your building’s windows. It’s like adding 1000 SPF suntan lotion on the windows of your business.
Commercial Window Tinting Helps Mitigate Theft and Property Crime
Save on replacement costs due to theft from burglaries or unwanted break-ins with commercial window tinting.
3M™ Safety & Security Window Film is designed to keep unwanted intruders out by adding a thick layer of film over your office windows – the most vulnerable entry point of your facility. The film is designed to hold together broken glass after impact. This means people and property are less likely to be damaged from flying glass shards. The film has proven to hold together for up to two full minutes, giving emergency responders time to arrive.
Because these films make it harder for someone to break in, the films mitigate the risk of losing merchandise or other valuable items. This can help lower the amount of damage and replacement costs after falling victim to a property crime.
