If you have recently had your window film installed, please wait about 30 days before you clean the windows. During the first 30 days, your window film is still drying, curing and attaching itself to the glass properly. Cleaning before 30 days could move the film around or damage the film.

Once the film has properly cured, clean until you heart is content using a soft microfiber cloth and a very mild cleaner, something that is ammonia free is best. Professional window cleaning with mild soap and warm water is also fine.

Heat Blocking Window Film

Many solar films can block up to 78% of the solar heat that standard window glass allows to pass right through. These types of window films are perfect for glass buildings or commercial properties with many windows that receive direct sunlight throughout the day. Heat blocking window tinting for commercial properties gives building tenants much greater temperature regulation and increases overall comfort. The fact that you will get a return on your investment in 2 or 3 years is an added bonus as well.

Decorative Film

Decorative window tinting or colored window tinting comes in a wide range of colors, designs and shades. You can use decorative and frost films to give a commercial space an entirely new look. This type of film creates privacy for certain paces if desired and also blocks out the sun’s glare and damaging UV rays. We have used colored film to change the look of indoor glass, such as conference room walls or office partitions.

Security Window Film

Security window tinting can be used in all types of commercial properties to protect against natural disasters, break-ins, rioters and even active shooting situations. Safety/security film adds a strong layer of protection to vulnerable entry points. This type of film is thicker than the other films and holds existing glass in place and prevents it from shattering inwards towards people inside the building.
