Since 1985, Commercial Window Shield has stood at the forefront of solar control window film installation across the nation. Our work can be found on a number of the country’s most well-known buildings.
“I’ll Feel More Comfortable Knowing The Installation Has Been Done Correctly If Commercial Window Shield Completes The Work.”

This film prevents glaring sun rays to enter buildings unfiltered, making it more comfortable for office employees sitting at desks near windows. The film can also significantly reduce building energy costs by balancing the building’s HVAC system that can be thrown out of whack by unfiltered sun rays.
The film is installed on the interior of the glass with an adhesive that secures the film to the glass.
Solar control window film can significantly reduce a building’s energy consumption, providing building owners with savings that can eventually pay for the film.
Solar control window film was developed to counteract or even out solar heat gain. The scientific aspect of this relates to Solar Heat Gain Coefficient. This measures the solar heat that enters a window and becomes heat. There is a measurement between 0 and 1 that accurately measures the solar heat gain. The lower the number, the less heat is being transferred.
A key component of the analytic process I determining the impact of solar control window installation on a building is the Shading Coefficient. This a comparison analysis of an untreated window and window that has solar control film attached. The lower the shading coefficient, the better the shading performance. Once this information is obtained the proper solar control window film can be decided upon to produce the best results in controlling solar heat gain.
Yes. By filtering out dangerous UV rays, sun control window film keeps the harsh light from damaging artwork, rugs, furnishings and rare books. Libraries and art museums are popular venues for installing solar control window films for this purpose.
