What Is Flat Glass Window Tinting?

Window Tinting

Window tinting is a versatile solution used on homes and commercial buildings, offering multiple benefits to help improve the building performance and comfort of those inside.

Special window films applied to flat glass surfaces can:

  • Reduce solar heat gain during warm months or help retain indoor heat during cold months, both of which contribute to energy efficiency.
  • Block harmful UV rays which can fade furnishings, flooring and décor.
  • Reduce sun glare.
  • Provide privacy for occupants while still maintaining natural light and views of the outside.
  • Increase the security of a home or building, by giving glass doors and windows an extra layer of protection from natural causes and intruders.
  • Enhance the appearance and appeal of an interior space.

Is there a demand for flat glass window tint installers?
YES!  The window film industry has been growing and continues to grow.  Flat glass window tint installers are in demand.

Why are flat glass window tint installers in demand?
There are two major reasons why installers are, and will continue to be, in demand.

  • First, because of growing awareness about carbon dioxide emissions from buildings, cities and states are actively mandating building energy efficiency codes. The Department of Energy considers window film a great solution to conserve energy.  Building and homeowners understand how much money they can save almost immediately after window film is professionally installed.
  • Second, concerns about the safety of schools, institutions, and government buildings. Glass windows and doors are the most vulnerable point of these buildings.  Security window film provides an added layer of protection from unwanted intruders and natural causes such as storms.
