What Are the Different Types of Commercial Window Tint?


There are many reasons to consider adding window tint to your business. Businesses looking to minimize the effects of ultraviolet light and solar heat can benefit from installing commercial window tints. Window film can serve numerous purposes in an office or retail space, ranging from deterring theft to lowering the amount of energy your building uses to maintain a consistent temperature.


If you are wondering what different kinds of window tint are available, NWSP offers several commercial window film options. We are proud to supply our customers with three superior types of window films that can solve numerous issues in retail or office locations. When professionally installed, all of these films make an excellent addition to the windows in your commercial space.


Decorative Vinyl Films

If you're looking for a way to spruce up your office or retail space, decorative vinyl films allow you to make a significant impact. Our 2ml thick specialty film is customizable to suit your business's aesthetic.


Whether you prefer a classic design or a modern pattern, we have the film to meet your needs. Choose your design from our current selections, or have us craft a custom creation just for your company. While this vinyl is primarily for decorative purposes, it can also serve as a privacy film, depending on your chosen design.


Solar Control Films

Solar control film is a popular choice for workspaces in all industries due to the numerous benefits associated with this type of window film. The solar control tint installed by NWSP blocks 99% of damaging ultraviolet light and up to 82% of the solar heat that elevates the temperature of your commercial space. Not only can this film lower your energy output and, at the same time, your energy bill, but it also prevents UV rays from damaging your products.


This benefit is essential for retail spaces exposed to the sun's rays for most of the day, as it minimizes harm to display items and merchandise, minimizing product loss due to sun exposure damage. Solar control film also offers your employees a layer of privacy which most people appreciate. This obstruction can prevent theft and break-ins since would-be criminals will have difficulty seeing inside.


Custom-Printed Frost Films

Offering a way to limit visibility, frost films make an excellent visual barrier and can be used on interior and exterior windows. In addition to increasing privacy in your commercial space, frost films can deter theft when used to obscure valuable items or vulnerable areas. Where some forms of security can draw attention and create an eyesore – such as window bars or blackout curtains – these films are subtle yet still effective at deterring criminal interest.


Frost films typically allow filtered light to come through, making them a fantastic solution for areas where you want soft light and no glare. Conference rooms, spas, office partitions, and entryways frequently utilize frost films. Frost film is an excellent alternative to etched glass, offering privacy and an elevated aesthetic without the price tag associated with custom glasswork while still looking elegant. Our custom-printed frost films can be as dramatic or modest as you prefer.


If you're looking for a solution for your commercial space, our skilled technicians are ready to help. So give Northwest Solar Protection a call today, and learn how we can provide your business with privacy, security, and UV protection.
