It’s a common belief that window tinting is really only for cars—but that assumption couldn’t be further from the truth!
Many people who have no personal experience with residential or commercial building window tinting assume that it is only for vehicles. All of us, at one time or another, have seen the cars that roll around with windows tinted so dark that you can’t see inside. We’ve all also heard the radio advertisements for shops offering to tint your car windows to make it easier to drive or keep the car cooler in the summer. That isn’t the only type of window tinting, however. In fact, it isn’t even the most popular type of window tinting. Tinting building windows, like those in your home or in a commercial building is overall the more common use for window tinting film. Let’s explore the differences between building window tinting and car window tinting.
Window films are perfect for new businesses because they can protect the business while offering potential customers information about it.
There are many different ways that your business can benefit from window films. Window films can be used to increase privacy inside your business, block harmful UV energy that can damage goods and drive up cooling costs, and be a valuable marketing tool. These benefits don’t have to wait for your business to be well-established either. If you are just starting out, or if you’re in the process of changing locations, you can use window films on the windows during construction and set up as well. In fact, you’ve probably seen businesses do this many times and never thought much of it: “Coming Soon” and “Pardon our dust while we remodel” are often emblazoned across windows during periods of construction. Let’s explore some interesting ways that you could use and benefit from window clings, specifically during periods of construction or renovation.
