The application of window tint will make your business more environmentally friendly, while providing crisp, reduced glare, natural lighting. This will result in increased temperature comfort for employees and customers. Businesses that participate in the ”going green” movement are generally viewed more favorably by their customers. It’s a great way to make a positive statement and increase your customer base.
Some businesses have experienced problems with burglaries and vandalism by way of their storefront windows. This problem can be greatly reduced by the application of a safety film. This type of tint consists of a thicker medium and can help to prevent “smash and grab” break-ins. In many cases, the glass will not shatter and the would be burglar is deterred.
While most buildings utilize Low E (low emissivity) windows to help reduce heating/cooling costs, these windows do not provide the degree of protection from heat and UV rays that window film can. We use Llumar Films, which produce high quality commercial and safety glass films. While traditional Low E windows can reduce heat transmittance by a maximum of 31% and only block 44% of UV rays, window film can reduce solar heat transmittance by more than 70% and will block 99% of the UV rays.
This all adds up to increased savings on heating and cooling costs, more even temperature distribution throughout the building and reduced glare for both customers and employees. The UV reduction will result in a significant decrease in fading and degradation of expensive products and displays. All of this can be accomplished by simply tinting your windows!
For those businesses that provide wi-fi for their customers, nothing is more exasperating to those customers than to be sitting in an establishment using their computers only to be plagued by heat and glare. Chances are high that they will choose someplace more comfortable and inviting next time when they want to find a wi-fi hotspot to frequent. We have seen this problem most often with restaurants. Capture more of the market in these tough economic times by providing a comfortable temperature, low glare environment for your customers!
