Expansive windows, atriums and skylights are central to today’s commercial architecture. It doesn’t matter if it is an office building or a retail mall, an art gallery or an airport; customers, employees and business owners are all drawn to facilities rich in natural light. Yet such wide-open beauty comes at a high price for many building owners, managers and tenants. While glass lets in an abundance of natural light, it also allows excessive heat to build up indoors, sending energy costs soaring. Unfiltered ultraviolet rays can also damage interiors and create distracting glare.

With our window films protecting your building, you can optimize energy efficiency, prolonging the life of product displays and fine interiors, and even create a more productive atmosphere. All the while ensuring superior optical clarity that preserves the natural light and open views that enrich today’s commercial spaces. We also have non-reflective solutions that provide you with all these benefits without the traditional reflective or shiny look. Panorama® comes in non-reflective ceramic window film.

Non-Reflective Ceramic Window Films for Commercial & Retail Storefronts

Panorama® non-reflective ceramic window films stop more heat and protect the interior of your home or business with a clearer view over traditional dyed, reflective or dual reflective films.

  • Panorama® ceramic tint films will not have a shiny metallic appearance inside or out.
  • They reflect the heat while allowing the visible light to enter, permitting a clear view both day and night.
  • Non-reflective films will not fade, bubble, oxidize or turn purple 99% UV protection reducing the main rays that cause fading.
  • They utilize advanced nanotechnology similar to the tiles used on the NASA space shuttle to dissipate heat.
  • Non-reflective’s have lasting superior durability and are non-corrosive.
Panorama Window Films offer films that are carbon negative and that have a positive impact on the Earth

Project List

Since 1970, Suntamers has been the leader in window tinting a variety of commercial office and buildings. For specific projects see our Commercial Project List.

PROJECT LIST

Our Installation Process

  • 1. Preparation
  • 2. Sizing
  • 3. Cleaning
  • 4. Application
  • 5. Drying
  • 6. Clean & Maintain

1. Preparation

We lay down drop cloths on the floor, but not for the reason most people would think. The drop cloths protect the window film from the floor. There is absolutely no part of our filming process that will hurt normal flooring! The drop cloths are used to keep the static charged window film off of the floor and away from carpet fibers, tile grout powder and the usual household dust that could get trapped in the adhesive when applied to the glass.

2. Sizing

We cut the window film out of manufacturer labeled boxes on site, one to two inches larger than the glass to allow for trimming directly on the glass. Glass cleaning starts with removing excess silicon, putty, or other glazing material from the edges of the glass. Glass set in a rubber gasket is cleaned by passing a blade underneath the bottom edge of the gasket to remove any dirt or debris that may be trapped there

3. Cleaning

We pass a razor blade over the glass with a simple solution of a few drops of Lemon Joy and water. This process removes all the little things that cannot be removed by normal cleaning with paper towels or scrubby pads. Many of these things can’t be seen easily, but will be become blatantly obvious if not removed before the film is installed. These things include paint specs, over-sprayed wall texture, bits of tape and left over glue from stickers. Don’t worry, razor blades are not nearly hard enough to cut or scratch glass! The window frame edge is wiped down with paper towels and the glass is wiped down or squeegeed with our solution of Lemon Joy and water.

4. Application

After the glass it 100% clean, it is again wet with more of the Lemon Joy solution in preparation for the film to be applied. The protective cellophane backing is removed from the film, exposing the adhesive. We wet the film’s adhesive with our Lemon Joy solution to prevent accidental sticking and to allow adjustment and smoothing on the glass. The film is applied to the glass, overlapping the edges to allow for trimming. When the film is in place it is squeegeed to remove the water and smooth the film; the pressure and heat from friction starts the adhesion process. The film edges are trimmed and the window is wiped dry and clean. You may notice a thin, distinct white line (exposed glass area) between the film and the edge of the frame. This is a normal installation practice needed for proper film adhesion to the glass.

5. Drying

Water bubbles will disappear. After installation you may notice water bubbles trapped between the film and the glass. This is part of the drying process and will gradually disappear. The drying time varies with type and thickness of the film as well as exposure to heat, direct sunlight, and humidity. Film exposed to the sun and hot weather could dry in just a few days; thick film and film in the shade, especially during the winter season, could take a few months to dry. Please do not push the bubbles as you may make a permanent mark.

6. Clean & Maintain

Cleaning can be done with a soft towel, soft paper towels or old t-shirt. Never use abrasive materials. A good cleaning solution is four drops of Lemon Joy, two oz. of rubbing alcohol to one pint of water. Never use ammonia products. Vinegar window cleaners are fine. Windows should not be cleaned within 30 days of installation.

We promise minimal disruption.

We take care of moving furniture, as we only need a couple of feet in front of the glass to work in. A small work space is also needed on the floor to lay out the window film. We have many tricks up our sleeves to work around draperies and blinds, but in some instances we will need to take them down if we feel they are in the way and reinstall them when we are finished.

Suntamers’ staff is capable of professionally installing thousands of windows on a high rise office building or hotel, or in your home. We can accomplish this with our trained personnel who are dedicated to providing quality service and professional installation.

Do my tenants have to move out during the installation?

Installing window film involves no odors or chemicals and can be provided during normal office hours with minimal interruption of office routine. If there is a concern, special arrangements can be made for evening and weekend installations. We do ask that three to five feet of space be cleared in front of the window so that our crew can thoroughly clean the windows and apply the film.

Can window tinting help reduce the glare on my TV screen and/or computer monitor?

Yes, window film is often used to minimize the visible light that passes through windows to reduce glare on TV screens and computer monitors.

Is there window film available that reduces heat and glare without causing a reflective look on my windows?

The new non-reflective ceramic and high performance window films reduce heat and glare without causing a reflective look on your windows, inside or out.
