What does commercial window tinting do for a building?

Commercial window tinting is a thin architectural film bonded to the inside of existing glass. It rejects solar heat and glare, blocks 99% of UV, and can add privacy or break-in resistance. The existing glass stays in place.

Why DFW buildings need it

North Texas summers push past 100°F for weeks, and glass is the weakest point in the building envelope. West- and south-facing offices, storefronts with full-height glass and corner conference rooms take direct sun all afternoon. The HVAC runs harder, people near the windows are uncomfortable, and screens, displays and finishes fade.

Window film fixes that at the glass, in one visit, at a fraction of the cost of new glazing. You keep the view and the daylight and lose the heat and glare.

From downtown Dallas shops like San Martin Bakery to PepsiCo’s Frisco offices and Hilton hotels in Rockwall and Southlake, we tint commercial glass across the metroplex. Our Carrollton shop is open 7 days for samples and quotes; the crew installs on site at your building.

What the research says

The U.S. General Services Administration tested a low-e solar window film through its Proving Ground program, with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory measuring results at two federal buildings, one of them the Earle Cabell Federal Building in downtown Dallas. On single-pane glass the film cut perimeter HVAC energy by about 29% on average, occupants reported better comfort in summer and winter, and payback was projected at two to six years.

Privacy & branding

Frosted and decorative window film for conference rooms, exam rooms and glass walls — like the privacy frosting on PepsiCo’s Frisco offices. Smart film switches from clear to private on demand.

Frosted film comes as full-coverage etched glass, bands and gradients that keep sightlines open at eye level, and cut logos, stripes and patterns for lobbies and glass partitions. It lets daylight through while hiding what is behind it, day or night. Frosted glass film is also the fastest way to meet privacy needs in medical exam rooms and HR offices. See our frosted window film and privacy window film pages for options, photos and pricing.

Security & safety

Security film helps storefront glass hold together after an impact or attempted break-in, and safety film reduces the risk of flying glass. Both can be combined with solar control.

Security film comes in thicknesses from about 4 mil for basic safety glazing up to 8 to 14 mil for forced-entry resistance. Thicker films slow a smash-and-grab so the glass holds long enough for an alarm or a passer-by to matter, and they keep broken glass in one sheet instead of across the floor. Security film is not bulletproof; it is there to buy time and contain the glass. Anti-graffiti film is a sacrificial clear layer on street-facing glass that gets peeled and replaced for far less than etched or scratched glass.

Project spotlight

Hilton at the Harbor, Rockwall

The hotel bar at Hilton at the Harbor looks out over Lake Ray Hubbard through a wall of glass. We installed XPEL Clear View 70 film to cut the afternoon heat on the bar and dining area while keeping the room bright and the lake view clear. Watch XPEL’s video of this job at the top of the page.

Project spotlight

PepsiCo offices, Frisco

Glass-walled offices and meeting rooms that needed privacy without losing daylight or the open-plan look. Frosted privacy film on the interior glass gives each room a clean etched-glass finish that looks like part of the original design.

Project spotlight

San Martin Bakery, downtown Dallas

A busy bakery and cafe with floor-to-ceiling glass on a sunny corner. Solar film on the storefront glass cut the heat and glare at the window seating without darkening the shop from the street.

How much does commercial window tinting cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?

Most commercial jobs we install in Dallas–Fort Worth run $8 to $25 per square foot of glass, installed. The film you choose, the amount of glass and how we reach it set the number, and replacing the glass instead typically costs many times more per square foot. Every proposal is free, written and itemized by elevation so you can phase the work.

Film type

Ceramic and security films cost more per foot than dyed or basic reflective film, and they are the ones that hold up. We quote the film that fits the problem, and we say so when a cheaper film will do.

Square footage

More glass means a lower rate per foot. A single storefront and a four-story elevation are priced differently, and we show both the total and the per-foot number.

Access

Ground-floor glass we reach from a ladder. Upper floors, atriums and clerestories may need a lift or scaffold, which is listed as its own line item.

Glass condition

Old film that has to be stripped, heavy construction residue or damaged seals add prep time. We note it at the site survey so there are no surprises on the invoice.

How a commercial project works

Our commercial window tinting service follows three steps: a free site survey, a written proposal and an install scheduled around your business hours.

1

Free site survey

We look at your glass, how the sun hits each side of the building and what you want to fix, and bring film samples.

2

Written proposal

Film recommendations, performance specs and pricing in writing — ready for your landlord or property manager.

3

Scheduled install

Our own crew installs zone by zone around your hours, protects your space and cleans up as we go.

Working with property managers, facility teams and GCs

Most commercial jobs have more than one person signing off. We make that easy.

  • Submittal-ready proposals with film name, manufacturer spec sheet and samples for the owner, landlord or architect.
  • Vendor paperwork on request: certificate of insurance and W-9 for setup in your system.
  • Phased scheduling by floor, elevation or suite so tenants stay open and nobody loses a workday.
  • One film spec across locations for multi-site companies that want every storefront to match.
  • Tenant finish-out friendly. We work with the GC’s schedule and install after the glass is cleaned and the dust is gone.

What to expect on install day

  • 1Protection first. Desks, displays and floors near the glass are covered before any water hits the window.
  • 2Glass prep. Each pane is scraped and cleaned, because film only looks as good as the glass under it.
  • 3Film goes on. Cut to each pane, squeegeed and trimmed with a clean edge on every frame.
  • 4Walk-through. We check every window with you before we leave and explain the cure period.
  • 5Cure. A little haze for the first days is normal as the film dries, and we tell you when the glass can be cleaned.

Ready to schedule? Request a site survey or call (469) 831-3101.

Do it once. Do it right.

Commercial film is on the glass for years, so the installer matters as much as the film.

What to look for in a commercial window film installer

Our standard process on every commercial job:

  • Authorized dealer. We’re an authorized XPEL dealer and a 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer, so the film is genuine and the 10- or 12-year commercial manufacturer warranty applies.
  • Real commercial references. Hilton properties, PepsiCo’s Frisco offices, restaurants and retail you can see in the photos above.
  • Glass checked first. Glass type and the manufacturer’s film-to-glass chart before any recommendation, especially on dual-pane and low-e glass.
  • Samples on your glass. You see the real film on your windows before you sign.
  • A written proposal. Film specs and pricing you can forward to the owner.
  • Our own crew. The installers in our videos are the same crew on your job site.

After your install

What to expect once the film is on.

  • 1Feel it the same afternoon. The heat and glare drop as soon as the sun hits the glass.
  • 2Let it cure. Small water pockets or light haze in the first days are normal while the film dries. Cure time depends on the weather.
  • 3Tell your cleaning crew. No razors, scrub pads or ammonia cleaners on the film. A soft cloth and a mild cleaner is all it needs.
  • 4Keep the paperwork. Your proposal lists the exact film, so future repairs or additions match.
  • 5Manufacturer warranty. The XPEL and 3M architectural films we install carry 10-year and 12-year commercial manufacturer warranties, depending on the film; the exact coverage is written into your proposal.

Commercial window tinting FAQ

How much does commercial window tinting cost?

Commercial window film is priced by the square foot and depends on the film, the glass and access (ground floor vs. lifts). We do a free site survey and give you a written proposal with film specs and pricing — usually within a few days. Most commercial jobs we install run $8 to $25 per square foot installed; lifts and old-film removal are listed as separate line items.

Will window film lower our building’s cooling costs?

Film rejects solar heat at the glass, which takes load off your HVAC in the rooms and zones that get the most sun. Savings depend on your glass, orientation and how the space is used, so we’ll point out the windows where film makes the biggest difference.

Will tinting make our office or storefront too dark?

No. Ceramic films like XPEL Clear View Plus come in light shades such as 70%, so you cut heat and glare while keeping natural light — the same film we installed at Hilton Southlake and a Frisco flower shop.

Can you install without disrupting our business?

Yes. We schedule around your business hours, work zone by zone, protect desks and displays, and clean up as we go. Many offices stay open the whole time.

Can we get privacy for conference rooms and offices?

Yes. Frosted and decorative film gives permanent privacy (we’ve done it for PepsiCo’s Frisco offices), and switchable smart film lets a conference room go from clear to private at the touch of a button.

Will window film protect our merchandise and interiors from fading?

Window film blocks over 99% of UV, the main cause of fading on merchandise, carpet, furniture and finishes.

Do you offer security and safety film?

Yes. Security film bonds to the glass and helps it hold together after an impact or attempted break-in, and safety film reduces the risk of flying glass. It can be combined with solar control.

How long does commercial window film last?

Quality architectural films are built to last many years and are backed by the manufacturer’s commercial warranty. We go over the coverage for your specific film in your proposal. The XPEL and 3M architectural films we install carry 10-year and 12-year commercial manufacturer warranties, depending on the film.

Do you provide spec sheets for landlords, property managers or HOAs?

Yes. We provide the film name, performance specs and samples so your landlord, property manager or association can approve the film before install.

How do we get started?

Call (469) 831-3101 or use the form at the top of this page. We’ll set up a free site survey, look at your glass and how the sun hits it, and send a written proposal.

How much energy can window film save in a commercial building?

On single-pane glass, a GSA Proving Ground study measured by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the Earle Cabell Federal Building in Dallas found about 29% lower perimeter HVAC energy, with a two-to-six-year payback. Dual-pane and low-e glass save less. We tell you at the survey which elevations are worth filming.

Do we need our landlord’s approval to tint a leased space?

Usually, yes. Most commercial leases treat window film as an alteration, and many landlords want to keep a uniform look from the street. We give you the film name, a sample and the manufacturer spec sheet so approval is a quick email instead of a back-and-forth.

Can you install after hours or on weekends?

Yes. For restaurants, medical offices and retail, we often install before opening, after close or on a weekend so nobody has to work around us. We include the after-hours timing in the written proposal.

Can window film be installed on low-E or dual-pane commercial glass?

Often, yes. Some film and glass combinations trap too much heat in the glass, so we check the glass type and the manufacturer’s film-to-glass guidance before we recommend anything. If a window is not a good candidate, we say so.

What is the difference between frosted film, privacy film and smart film?

Frosted (decorative) film is a permanent etched-glass look that blocks the view both ways while letting light through. Privacy solar film is a darker or reflective film that hides the inside during the day but not at night. Smart film is switchable: clear when it is powered and frosted when it is off, so a conference room can be private on demand.

Do you tint glass doors and storefront entries?

Yes. Storefront doors, sidelights, transoms and glass vestibules get the same film as the rest of the elevation, so the whole front reads as one piece. Door glass with frames that are hard to reach is measured at the site survey.

Can you handle a whole building or multiple locations?

Yes. We have filmed hotel properties, office buildings and multifamily buildings across DFW, and we can phase a large job by floor or elevation so the building stays in business. For multi-location companies we use the same film spec at every site so the look is consistent.

Which window film brands do you install?

We are an authorized XPEL dealer and a 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer, so every roll is genuine and carries a 10-year or 12-year commercial manufacturer warranty. We match the product to the job rather than selling one brand for everything.

Does security film make glass bulletproof?

No. Security film is designed to hold shattered glass together and slow forced entry, not to stop bullets. Bullet-resistant glazing is a different product. What security film does well is turn a quick smash-and-grab into a slow, noisy job and keep broken glass from spraying across the floor.

Is window film installed on the inside or the outside of the glass?

On the inside for almost every commercial job, which protects the film from weather and keeps it looking new longer. Exterior films exist for glass that cannot be reached from inside, like some curtain walls, and we use them only when there is no interior option.

Will window film interfere with Wi-Fi, cell signal or key fobs?

Ceramic films like XPEL Clear View Plus are metal-free, so they have no effect on wireless signals. Heavily metallized reflective films can reduce signal slightly on glass-heavy buildings. If your space depends on a cellular booster or wireless point-of-sale, tell us at the survey and we will steer you to a non-metal film.

Can window film be removed or replaced later?

Yes. Professionally installed film can be removed by a technician with heat and a scraper, and the glass is cleaned back to its original condition. We also remove old, failed film before installing new ceramic film.

Will the film turn purple, bubble or peel?

Not the films we install. Purple tint and bubbling come from cheap dyed films and poor installs. XPEL and 3M architectural films are color-stable and backed by the manufacturer’s commercial warranty; small water pockets in the first days after install are normal and dry out as the film cures.
