How Much Will It Cost to Get Tinted Windows for My Business?

It comes as a surprise to many people that the same window films that can shade your vehicle for a cooler, more comfortable interior can be applied to commercial windows, too. Astro Auto Glass provides quality, affordable commercial window tinting.

Benefits of Commercial Window Tinting

Commercial window tinting offers a wide range of benefits for property owners/managers and building patrons. When you invest in top-quality film, you can:

    Improve energy efficiency. Window tinting film reflects significant amounts of visible light and invisible UV radiation to reduce heat build-up inside your commercial building. As a result, it is easier to maintain consistent indoor temperatures, so your HVAC system does not have to work so hard. Some companies can save more than 10% on energy costs per year.

    Enhance privacy. Window tinting reduces the extent to which outsiders can peer in. Limited visibility helps keep your business operations and patrons safe.

    Boost safety and security. The adhesive of window tinting film enhances the integrity and strength of window glass, increasing its shatter-resistance and minimizing spall.

Cost Considerations

Budget is always one of the top concerns of any business owner Continue reading “How Much Will It Cost to Get Tinted Windows for My Business?”
