Commercial window tinting can help you ease up on your business' AC reliance. With these films on your windows, you can keep things cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
That's only one reason to get your company windows tinted, though. We'll give you a more comprehensive look into its many other advantages, so be sure to read on. Reduced Heat Gains and LossesAlmost a third of heating energy in a building exits through windows. In the summer, this means that a huge chunk of cooled air from your business' air conditioning unit goes to waste. In the winter, this means that your windows allow a lot of warm air to leave the building.
Commercial window tinting helps trim such waste by acting as a barrier for heat gains and losses. They reject heat from the outside, so less outdoor heat penetrates the window. They also "block" conditioned air from the interior side, so more of it stays inside the building. In this way, commercial window films help your business become more energy-efficient. Installing these on your windows is a great step to becoming a greener business. 
Minimized HVAC LoadsThe higher the room temperature is, the longer it takes for an air conditioner to complete its cycle. The same concept applies in the winter, except that the heater works harder to warm up the frigid air. This higher workload can hasten the wear and tear of your commercial HVAC unit.
That's why you'd want to reduce unwanted heat gains and losses in your Houston business. Reduce excessive cold.
Windows alone are responsible for a significant amount of heat loss. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat loss from a standard window is estimated to be anywhere from 25 to 30 percent. Though window films are thin and practically unnoticeable, the added film layer installed over the original window can help play a key insulating role, thereby helping minimize heat loss during the cooler months
Keep them comfortable all year long.Installing a low emissivity, or “Low E,” window film can help improve the insulation value of a typical single-pane window close to that of a double-pane window, and of a double-pane close to that of a triple-pane. Your tenants won’t have to avoid areas of the building or struggle to view their monitors at certain times of day. Did you know that a window can lose as much as 20X more heat in the winter than the same area in an adjacent wall? Low-E Window Films help provide increased insulation performance by retaining heat during the winter and cool air during the summer, so you can increase tenant comfort year round. Combats Glare and Helps Fight Eye Strain
Did you know that as many as nine in 10 users of digital devices experience digital eye strain (DES)? Blurred vision, glare, headaches, and sore eyes are some of the most common symptoms of DES. The use itself of digital devices can cause DES, but the signs can get much worse if there's too much light. Extreme brightness, for instance, can cause distracting to even blinding glare. Excessive sunlight that pours through untreated windows is a common culprit. Aside from solar heat, window films can also filter and block sunlight. They can do so through anti-reflective or light-dampening technology. You can think of these as humongous sunglasses, except that they're for your windows. The filtering feature of commercial window tint is also "selective." This means that they don't block 100% of light, just the excessive amount that can cause glare. Can Contribute to Heightened ProductivityResearchers found that as many as two-thirds of workers complain about office lighting. Some said that the lights in their workplace were too dim. Others complained about them being too bright. In both situations, the lack of or excessive illumination affected their productivity. Glare, once again, enters the picture, as it can result in eye pain. However, dim workplaces can also cause unpleasant symptoms, as the lack of light can dry out the eyes. What's more, a study found that inadequate lighting can make a person feel fatigued. Half of the participants said they felt tired or even very tired at work due to insufficient light. Two in five workers also said their workplace made them feel gloomy due to a lack of natural lighting. As you can see, inadequate or excessive lighting can contribute to health issues. These health concerns can then cause a drop in employee productivity.More than that, the symptoms can be quite severe that your staff may call in sick. Also, note that chronic DES can cause long-term eye maladies. Commercial window tint provides a solution for both workplace woes. They allow enough sunlight to permeate your business's interiors. At the same time, they filter out excess light, which, in turn, helps prevent glare. Longer-Lasting Carpet & DisplaysAccording to experts, as much as 40% of fading in fabrics is due to ultraviolet exposure. Harder materials, like wood, can also weather faster under direct UV exposure. Leather also suffers from premature dryness and cracking when exposed to sunlight.
As window films block UV rays, they can then protect products like furniture and carpets. You can prevent upholstery damage and discoloration and enjoy your lush carpets longer. 
Building owners, tenants, customers, architects, energy consultants and glass manufacturers can count on the comfort that Sun Control Window Films can provide. I hope this was helpful. Feel free to leave any questions or comments below 😎
