Commercial
Commercial buildings are often plagued by heat gain and glare problems. This is due to building design and the fact that in most commercial buildings, the 
personnel is isolated to one particular area. Cooling costs and investment in hundreds, sometimes thousands, of shades or blinds can be extremely costly for companies. In some buildings, a cooling system will run excessively in one area where cooling is necessary but the other areas of the building will become overly cool. Most of these problems can be solved with commercial grade window coatings. This is where T.G.C. can help. We first perform an energy audit, a complex evaluation of energy use in the forms of heating and cooling. Many of our products quailify for energy efficiency rebates from PG&E. Click here to view the rebate form. Next, we will provide samples and specifications on the materials that will best suit the client's needs. Also a prospectus on future energy savings will be provided and the payback based on this.

Due to the rising cost of energy and environmental impact, energy efficiency is become a hightened concern for businesses globally. The U.S. Green Building Council has adopted The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System to evaluate the efficiency of buildings. Installation of window film can provide building owners, builders, engineers, and architects points to help qualify for LEED certification. Please call us for more information or visit www.usgbc.org.
Commercial window coatings are designed to be extremely efficient and effective. Up to 80% of total solar energy can be rejected by these materials. These same materials will reduce glare by up to 83%, this
is very important to the work force in businesses that work mostly with computer monitors. These workers can enjoy the open feeling with a view from their windows without the ill effects of the solar glare. Commercial window coatings are safe to use on double pane windows insulated windows. Insulated windows also create their own set of problems. They are very effective in retaining heat that is generated inside the building in the winter months. But in the summer months the solar energy is let in and not let out by this type of window. The most efficient setup is an insulated window with one of these window coatings applied to it. An insulated window with a coating on it will keep a building warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Commercial windows coatings have been used in industrial, office and high-tech buildings, as well as hotels and schools. Another aspect of these coatings is safety and security materials. These are very strong and thick with an extremely aggressive adhesive system. It is designed to hold the glass together in the event of earthquakes, storms, explosions and attempted burglaries.
