2021, Commercial Contracting Window Tinting Solutions Alternatives

1 Reply

Commercial property managers throughout the country are researching the alternatives for reducing their energy costs and improving tenant comfort and safety.

Window Film USA offers the most extensive portfolio of window film brands and solutions to match any requirement.

 

Our installation teams have completed nearly 21,000 projects since we exited 3M Window Film in 2007.

VISTA Films the NFRC Rated low interior reflective and ceramic films meet the aesthetic requirements of luxury homes and prestige gated communities and condos.

These films are the number one choice of Interior Designers who are primarily interested in protecting furnishings and accessories from the heat and UV fading.

We also acquired the Huper Optik nanoceramic films from Germany.

These are the best heat rejecting window films for a non-metallic film offering extraordinary optical clarity and superior performance.

Certainly the commercial market segment has similar requirements.

Lowering electric costs and providing a maximum return on their investment.

The cost benefit for a superior performing window film like VISTA and Huper Optik may not match the budget restrictions imposed on a larger facility.

In these situations we have developed a complete portfolio of reflective commercial films manufactured by the industry leaders Llumar, Avery Dennison-Hanita, Solar Gard, Johnson and SunTek.

These films are lower cost yet their heat rejecting performance and durability are never sacrificed.

These films are all NFRC Certified which is critically important as compared to car tinting dyed films which may look fine at the time of the installation but rapidly degrade over the next few months.

Property managers need to be cautious not to authorize an installation of these low ball cost films because the useful life is extremely limited.

Our standards are high and we are fully insured and BBB rated A Plus
 

The fact that we identify the brands we represent and can explain the nuances between these films is a benefit to our clients.

Today consumers can do research on the Internet before making any decision concerning a home improvement solution.

Thanks to the intense heat, relentless UV and typically clear glass windows in Florida a window film retrofit makes terrific sense and has the fastest ROI of any retrofit solution.

The question isn’t whether window film will demonstrate superior value and remain effective through decades of enjoyment and comfort; but  rather it’s which window film solution is the one to choose and which installation company will  perform the superior installation.
