Window tinting is one of the most critical aspects of storefront design because it provides coverage to any imperfections within the glass, such as cracks and chips. Window tinting protects against heat, ultraviolet rays, and glare while allowing light to enter the store. Flat window tinting is the most common type of window tinting. Flat window tint provides a uniform look that, when done correctly, can add dimension to a storefront. It can also help reflect light and keep out UV rays which in turn helps to save on energy costs. Applying flat window tint involves using the film to the glass and squeezing out every bubble until it's completely smooth. Textured or etched window tinting can be an alternative to flat window tinting. Applying this type of window tint is similar to flat tinting, but the film is etched into place instead of applied by hand. You can achieve the etching process through the use of a particular machine. You can use this type of window tinting on storefronts in addition to flat tint or as a replacement for it. Different manufacturers and products call this method other things like freehand texturing and sign vinyl.
