Fill your building with light and enjoy your view with commercial window tinting.
Increased Energy Efficiency
Window tinting will conserve your building’s heat in the winter months while repelling the heat in the summer months. This will give your HVAC systems a break, saving you money on your utility bills.
Minimize heating and cooling loss through your building’s windows and increase your energy savings without investing in replacement windows.
Reduced Glare
Window tinting allows you to enjoy ample natural light while reading or using your computer and mobile devices, without experiencing eyestrain and discomfort caused by glare.
Enhanced Privacy and Style
Window tinting can also add a decorative and aesthetic appeal to your building. Window tinting allows beautiful natural light to enter your property while simultaneously obscuring your building’s interior from outside viewers. It is also an excellent choice for areas inside your commercial building that may require some extra privacy, such as office doors and meeting room partitions.

Will the film make my windows or room look dark?
No. Most films installed by 5Star can hardly be detected, but the difference can be felt.
Will the film reduce my heating and cooling costs?
Yes. In the winter, window film helps insulate the glass and keep heat in, reducing energy costs. In the summer, the film controls solar heat gain, thus reducing your cooling costs. On average, clients can expect to see a 15% reduction in energy costs once the window film is installed.
We have dual pane windows. Can they be tinted?
Yes! Dual-pane or thermal pane have two pieces about 1/2″ apart with gas sealed in-between and are very common in today’s buildings. Your windows can be tinted, but certain guidelines need to be followed because dual panes are more vulnerable to stress than single-pane windows.
