Window Tinting for Offices

Improved Privacy | Reduced Glare | Reduced heat

Most windows let in the light, the wonderful Sun’s rays. They allow you to look out and others to look in.

However, that can be a problem in your office. You don’t need the suns extra heat and its blinding glare. The way it fades your chairs and equipment. And finally do you really want people to see in?

Fortunately, here at Tintworx we have the answer: Window film.

Window film is an easy to apply, specially designed and technically advanced product. That has been developed to reduce and prevent these problems in a cost effective, stylish way. The film is available in several finishes and is designed to be retrofitted to existing windows and glazing.

Window film applied to glass gives a slight or total reflection when viewed from the outside. Reflecting up to 79% of the sun’s energy before it enters your office, depending upon the tint used. The remainder still enters, so allowing you to enjoy the suns warmth without the excess heat.

Privacy maybe the thing you most need, you could shut the blinds but then you shut out the light and your view. Applying window film gives you the best of both worlds: privacy with natural light and a view. Different window films offer different levels of privacy, but still let in some natural light.

You may need film for any of the above points. All these points need to be considered and we are highly experienced at advising the most appropriate solar window film for your individual building or office.

Once window film is applied to your windows the only maintenance required is normal window cleaning: being careful not to use anything that may scratch the glass.

Why Tint your Office Windows?

  • Maximise your Privacy

    The semi or fully reflective properties of our films work like privacy shields. Giving you the confidence to feel comfortable in your office during the day knowing that people can’t look through your windows and see inside, whilst you can look out without restriction. Then when your office or business is closed the window tint will keep your business private by preventing prying eyes looking in.

  • You can keep the blinds and curtains open

    Window film is fitted to the window so preventing heat entering the room. Blinds and Curtains are set back from the glass, so they still let all the excess heat in.

    Plus, when you shut those blinds and curtains, you are removing the view and blocking the natural sunlight. Something you won’t remove when you have film applied.

  • Reduce Fading

    Our films reduce fading by blocking 99% of the UV rays that are a major cause of fading. Fading can be an expensive problem. All too often the damage is done before you notice. With flooring, pictures, furniture, and any personal valuables in direct sunlight ending up discoloured and damaged. Applying window film greatly slows down the fading process.

  • Reduce Glare

    Do you find yourself reaching for your sunglasses when sitting in your office? Closing the blinds or squinting to look at your computer? Installing window film will reduce the harshest of sunlight without it feeling dark.

  • Stay Cooler

    Our films are designed to reject the heat of the Sun.

    By controlling the overall unwanted interior heat from the Sun, you will be able to greatly improve your working environment.

  • Save Energy and the Environment

    All our window films help reduce the amount of heat that gets through your glass by reflecting solar heat. Therefore, you can reduce the use of your air conditioning: which is an expensive and environmentally damaging product.

  • Safety

    Window film adheres directly to the glass and is designed to hold all the glass shards together should it break. That may be very important if your office or building has a significant foot fall, like a school or hospital.

Types of Solar Window Film

We stock two types of Solar Window Film, Solar Silver 20 and Daylight Natural 20 for your buildings glazing. Each film has different properties, characteristics, and appearances.

Solar Silver 20 (SS20).

This is our most popular and requested Solar window film. It is a highly reflective, internally fitted, film that allows 20% visible light transmitting into the building. It is our most effective film at dealing with the suns strengths as it reflects 79% of the suns energy and reduces glare by 81%.

The almost mirrored appearance works well on offices and commercial properties where the uniform appearance hides what’s inside that room.

Daylight Natural 20.

Daylight Natural is our premium tint that will not fade. It has a soft neutral colour shade that blends into rather than asserts itself onto your building. Daylight natural has a softer appearance than SS20, but still provides strong heat rejection, glare reduction and UV protection. The shade we use is Daylight Natural 20%, as it allows 22% visible light transmitting into the building, reflects 60% of the suns heat, 99% of the UV and reduces glare by 75%.

Customer Stories

 

Privacy for GP Consulting Rooms

NHS Southover Medical Practice in Torquay contacted us to solve multiple problems with their consulting room windows. The doctor’s consulting rooms have beautiful views, but such was the heat and glare from the sun that they were unable to read their computer screens and the cost of a beautiful view was searing heat on a summer’s day.

When examining patients they would have to draw the blinds for privacy. Inevitably the GP’s were spending most of the day sat in a stuffy, artificially-lit room with the blinds drawn.

Our solution was to fit our highest performing 20% Solar Silver film to the consultation room windows, providing privacy while also rejecting 79% of the suns heat.

Most offices have the same window treatment to reduce glare on computer monitors and improve privacy for the building out of hours, with the added benefits of cooler internal temperatures and reduced air-conditioning costs.

Privacy with Reduced Heat and Glare at Winners 2000 Gym

In July 2013 we installed our Solar Silver 20% film on two 15 pane windows at the newly opened Paignton site. The sun pouring through the south facing windows made working at the reception area unbearable for staff and they needed a solution to reduce heat and glare with the added bonus of privacy for members and when closed.

20% Solar Silver installed at Winners 2000 Gym, Paignton provides privacy for members and reduced heat and glare for the staff.

 Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust

Before installation of the new CT Scanner at Torbay Hospital we installed Solar Silver 20% window film to these windows to obscure the glazing, prior to lead lined walls being erected in readiness for the new scanner.
