It is no secret that excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays is harmful. However, people who love the natural light in their office learn the heat generated through untreated windows can quickly make the room feel uncomfortably warm.

With window tinting, solar heat and UV rays get rejected, so the light and heat don’t affect you. Since the building or space isn’t absorbing this extra energy, the HVAC system doesn’t have to run nearly as hard or as often to maintain the ideal office or building temperature. In large buildings or those with a significant amount of window space, this is one sustainability project that can pay itself off within two to five years of the window tint installation.

In buildings that have furnishings such as hotel rooms or furnished office space, window film helps to safeguard these items from fading in the sun. As you can imagine, the longer you can keep furnishings and floors from fading, the better your return on the investment. For commercial buildings that feature full-size windows as their building front, the protective film is even more critical. Without a barrier to help manage the incoming sunlight, everything from the ground floor up is vulnerable to solar heat inconsistencies, and UV ray damage.

After you’ve already made a significant investment in a commercial building, making other advantageous upgrades to the building makes logical sense.
