RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL TINTING
Residential and Commercial Tinting
What is Tinting?
Modern commercial tinting uses a thin laminate film that's installed to the interior or exterior of glass surfaces in automobiles and boats and also to the interior or exterior of glass in homes and comercial buildings.
Modern Window Tinting
Modern commerical window tinting is usually made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family, due to its clarity, tensile strength, dimensional stability, and ability to accept a variety of surface-applied or embedded treatments.
Comfort + Privacy
Privacy glass tinting films reduce visibility through the glass. Privacy glass tinting for flat-glass commercial and residential applications may be silvered, offering an unimpeded view from the low-light side but virtually no view from the high-light side. It may also be frosted, rendering the window translucent but not transparent.
The Technical Side
Window films are generically categorised by their construction components (dyed, pigmented, metallized, ceramic or nano), by their intended use (automotive, marine or architectural), by substrate type (glass or polycarbonate), and/or by their technical performance (privacy, solar control, safety and security).
Types of Glass Tinting
There are many different grades, shades, colours, and thicknesses of available glass tinting films built to offer solutions to a variety of challenges. Window glass tinting films are a retrofit upgrade for existing glass that can be used to address problems inherent to glazing.
Cost Effective Protection
Glass tinting films are also an extremely cost-effective method to reduce heating and cooling costs in existing buildings by reducing the amount of heat transfer and protection from prolonged UV light exposure.
