Commercial window has become more of a required property investment for building owners and less of just a luxury.   Almost all commercial buildings located in Arizona have some type of window tint on their windows.   There are many benefits that commercial building owners should need to consider, besides just realizing the obvious benefits like glare reduction and physical appearance of their building.

APPEARANCE

An innovative window film will surely have an instant effect on the appearance of a commercial building. The dark windows make your business by making it appear comforting & sharp. For restaurants it provides relief from the summer heat & for others the appearance will become just a bit more professional looking. This will directly affect how people perceive your business, so there is no reason not to upgrade to a sleek look. Just a couple of extra customers walking through your door will probably pay for the cost of tint. Just like advertising, Commercial window film can and will have an immediate impact.

LOWER YOUR ENERGY COSTS

The energy costs associated with cooling and heating of a building is probably of the most overlooked expenses.  The harmful UV Rays shine through the windows & increase the office’s temperature.   This causes us to immediately turn up the AC, which is why in Arizona especially, our energy bills are so high.. Commercial window film protects your business from receiving unexpected or outrageous electric bills, which makes business owners happy.

IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY BY REDUCING GLARE

Many employees tend to get distracted when in an office setting.   Some of this distraction is from the glare of a computer screen, staring at a passer-by, or just simply day dreaming.   Distraction equals loss in productivity; bottom line. A commercial window film can actually decrease a computer screen’s tint; which in turn will reduce outside visibility from workers, as well as people passing by. Believe it or not, business’ with commercial window tint have higher  productivity rates.

KEEP YOUR IMAGE FRESH

Windows are the first thing someone sees when they walk into your business, whether from the outside or the inside.  If your windows are dirty or streaky, whether from lack of cleaning or just from the weather, this becomes unattractive to a potential customer.  Since most commercial businesses have to hire contractors to clean the windows, they tend to do it less frequently than they should because of high costs involved. Commercial window Film disguises the dirt &streaks, extending the time between when you need to contract those window cleaners.

Every year on June 27th, we celebrate the unofficial holiday, “National Sunglasses Day”

Just as we use window tint to block the sun’s harmful UV Rays, sunglass do the same thing for your eyes!  There is that cool, mysterious look about someone in a nice pair of sunglasses.  So on June 27 each year we celebrate National Sunglass Day.  In celebration we highlight the top ten Sunglass styles that have stood the test of time:

1.  Prada model SPR07F

553036170

This model was best known for their appearance in the 1963 Academy Award winning movie 8 ½ . This model has evolved a lot since the 1960’s and is still very popular.  This is one of the few styles of sunglasses that can go with a suit or a swimsuit

2.  Persol 714

Worn by Steve McQueen in the 1960’s these were the first folding sunglasses.  Made popular in the movie The Thomas Crown Affair these glasses were sold at auction for $70,000.  Maybe a less expensive pair would be more appropriate for National Sunglass Day!

3.  Ray-Ban 3138 Shooter

RB-3138-001-4A-2

Yellow aviator shooters were made famous when Johnny Depp wore them in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  There glasses were worn regularly by the author of the novel that inspired the film.  The shooters came in different color tints.  

4.  Ray-Ban Wayfarers

Tom-Cruise-Risky-Business-Ray-Ban

These babies were instantly popular because they were made from revolutionary plastic frame.  Introduced in 1956 they were a distinct diversion from the metal-framed sunglasses of the time. Popularity slumped in the 70’s all the way until the late 2000’s when artists like Katy Perry and Bruno Mars wore them in music videos.

5.  Round and Oversized

Today simply know as Jackie O’s, these sunglasses were made popular by First Lady and fashion icon Jackie Kennedy.  Instantly known by their large round shape they are made to make a fashion statement when worn.

6.  Gold Rimmed Aviator

These sunglasses goes back to the 1930’s when US Army pilots were reporting glare from the sun was giving them headaches and altitude sickness.  A new sunglass lens was created by an American company (Bausch & Lomb) to reduce the glare.  Made with green lenses and plastic frames they were originally called “Anti-Glare”.  A year later they were made with metal frames and rebranded as “Aviators”

7.  The Clubmaster

Ray-Ban introduced in the 1980’s when Bruce Willis worse a pair of brownline Shuron Ronsirs on the series Moonlighting.  They gained popularity very quickly and rose to the #3 best-selling sunglasses of the 1980’s.

8.  Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck

Made popular when Gregory Peck wore them in To Kill A Mockingbird in 1962 they have again became popular.  This is partly due to the reintroduction in 2011 when Oliver Peoples released a new model to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the novel that inspired the film.

9.  Oliver Goldsmith Manhattan

Audrey Hepburn chose Oliver Goldsmiths Manhattans as her signature pair of sunglasses.  Made famous by Ms. Hepburn wearing them in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s.  They are still very popular today!

10.  Rose-Colored Glasses

Betsey-Johnson

A phrase that means to view the world in a perpetual optimistic, perhaps naïve, and unrealistic way.  Rose-Colored glasses give the wearer the care-free look.  Where the saying came from, some suggests that early mapmakers used rose petals to clean the lenses of the glasses.  The oils would protect the glass but would also stain and leave a rose-colored tint.

There you have the beautiful top 10 sunglasses!  As important to look and style to your eyes as window tint is to your vehicle.  Combine the two and you have a beautiful pair of protection from the sun’s harmful rays this summer.  The only question is .. which style do you prefer?
