Owners of Smitty’s Car Wash in Celina, TX, recently contacted Architectural Glass Solutions on solution for direct sun in lobby and office windows; the goal was to reduce heat, glare, and UV exposure without needing window treatments during the day.
Solution: Optitune 15 with 80% heat rejection and 99.9% UV rejection with 90% glare reduction. Product and labor is warranted for 15 years by Avery Dennison manufacturer.
Benefits of Commercial Solar filming:
1. Energy Efficiency:
- Reduced Heat Gain: Window tinting can significantly reduce the amount of heat that enters your home from the sun, helping to keep indoor temperatures cooler and potentially lowering your air conditioning costs.
- Improved Insulation: Some tints can also improve your windows’ insulation properties, helping to retain heat during the winter months and further reducing energy bills.
2. UV Protection:
- Protects Furnishings: Tinted windows can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which helps protect your furniture, carpets, and other interior items from fading and deterioration.
- Skin Protection: By reducing UV exposure indoors, window tinting can also contribute to better skin health and reduce the risk of sun-related skin issues.
3. Glare Reduction:
- Enhanced Comfort: Window tinting can reduce glare from the sun, making it easier to work, watch TV, or use electronic devices without eye strain or discomfort.
- Better Visibility: It can improve visibility and reduce glare while driving or looking out of the windows, enhancing overall comfort in your home.
4. Privacy and Security:
- Increased Privacy: Tinted windows can provide an additional layer of privacy by making it more difficult for outsiders to see into your home, especially during the day.
- Enhanced Security: Window films can strengthen the glass, making it more resistant to shattering, which can help deter break-ins and improve safety.
