The commercial window film industry has many different types of tint for multiple uses. Is your industry getting the most benefit from your windows?
Window tinting offers an attractive, convenient, and inexpensive way to enhance features that help issues often seen with commercial buildings. For example, you may want to reduce heating and cooling costs, protect valuables, establish clout, or maintain privacy. Perhaps you need glare reduction, increase productivity, or reduce solar heat spots for a comfortable work environment. These are just a few of the possible benefits different types of tint offer. Window tinting solves multiple issues on a cost-effective budget. Let’s look at the popular tints and see how their benefits impact diverse industries.
Not sure how to discover your best window tint.
The fact that you are here reading up on your options is a responsible beginning – congratulations! Let’s learn about window tinting and find you a perfect fit.
Commercial window tinting has developed over the years to provide businesses with numerous flexible solutions. For example, if you’re looking into heating and cooling solutions, start by looking into the Solar, Reflective, and Tinted Window options. On the other hand, if you need increased security, investigate Security Film, Ballistic Resistant one way window film, and the C-Bond Secure adhesive solution. Meanwhile, let’s get you into Decorative or Mirrored window tinting if you require privacy. So, no matter what your industry needs, you can bet there are multiple types of tint to help solve your problems.
What type of tint is best?
Decorative Window Tint
One obvious advantage of a decorative commercial window tint film is its aesthetic appeal. Decorative tints provide an interesting look without feeling of isolation. They are often used on interior space windows to create an atmosphere. They also offer a shield of confidentiality and add color, pattern, or texture to give your space some style. Decorative films are good for creating privacy without eliminating visible light transmission. Also, the texture emulates specialty glass at a fraction of the price of installing decorative glass. Another advantage that a custom decorative film has over other films is the ability to increase your company’s clout or recognition. Custom window film often uses logos, symbols, or emblems for this purpose.
Conversely, decorative window tinting film does not block ultraviolet light. Thus leaving you vulnerable to harmful UV rays and the damages they produce over time. Also, such films do not add to the glass’s strength. To increase the glass surface strength with decorative films or any film type, combine it with C-Bond Secure. C-Bond Secure has patented glass toughening nanotechnology.

| Gym & Recreational Centers | Increase company recognition. Provide inhabitants privacy from onlookers. | Higher need to regulate temperatures. Consider carbon tint or ceramic film. |
Reflective Metalized Window Tint
Reflective metalized tint brings privacy but keeps your office building looking modern, eliminating a dyed film’s outdated feeling. A metalized window tint creates a shiny silver-like mirrored effect. Reflective window tint not only creates a mirror-like image but deflects the sun’s rays. These films allow office buildings more control over sun hot spots and office glare while eliminating harmful UV rays. Office glare on electronics makes it challenging to work. Studies show that reducing glare increases productivity while allowing natural light transmission into the building. A study from Science Direct shows that providing “access to daylight and view while limiting glare can improve occupants’ performance and satisfaction, and reduce eyestrain.”
Use reflective films on multiple windows to achieve seclusion without becoming unsightly to look at. Metallic tint offers maximum daytime and nighttime privacy. The reflective metalized window tint allows viewers to look out but prevents onlookers from seeing who and what is inside. Because of this, we recommend this tinting for office buildings, not commercial storefronts.

Solar Energy Films, Carbon Tint, or Ceramic Window Tint
A tinted window reduces sun glare. Tinted films are good at reflecting heat to control temperatures. Tints come in a variety of shades, from neutral to blackout window tint. Carbon film, or its counterpart ceramic film, are often considered upgrades due to adding an element of strength to the window film. These films incorporate carbon and ceramic particle fragments into the film for their natural strengthening properties. Additionally, different types of tint reflect infrared heat, infrared light, and harmful UV rays. Conversely, solar control window film is a clear window tint that maintains many properties as other window tints. Clear sun blocking window film decreases energy costs without compromising natural sunlight.
The two most common uses for these different window tint types are sun-facing windows and storefronts that experience heat and reflection from blacktop parking lots. Choose one of these films to resolve issues with glare and high energy costs and provide UV blocking protection against fading and sun damage.

Security Glass Tint Film
The clear purpose of a security film is to increase security and protection by reducing the vulnerability of glass. That means toughening the glass surface and increasing glass strengthening properties such as toughness and flexibility. In doing so, the glass becomes resistant to blast and impact damages as well as holds broken glass together to reduce the risks of injury from flying glass. Buildings can use a security film in conjunction with the C-Bond Secure window adhesive solution to increase glass strengthening properties at an atomic level. The patented nanotechnology solution repairs minuscule imperfections and weaknesses that naturally occur in glass. Combining the adhesive solution with a security window film increases the overall security features of the film itself.
For the next level of protection, the C-Bond BRS system is the most complete ballistic resistant system on the market. The C-Bond Ballistic Resistant System is a unique one way window film ballistic setup that provides the best security management. Increase your defenses with scientifically proven ballistic resistance for bullets, bomb blast, and impact resistance. The principal line of defense begins with your most vulnerable entry points; glass windows and doors. Reduce threats, deter criminal attempts, and protect against projectiles, impact, and force. The C-Bond BRS system provides top levels of protection for the most dangerous situations and those under severe threat. Further, C-Bond BRS is a precut window tint system. Installing window tint is easy with the precut film set to your exact measurement specifications.
