Full Storefront Upgrade with 3M™ Night Vision™ 25

Sunray Window Films installing 3M Night Vision 25 on the Planet Fitness storefront glass.

Our team installed 3M™ Night Vision™ 25 window film along the entire storefront of the facility. This advanced sun control film helps reduce heat and glare while preserving a clean, natural look from the inside—so members enjoy a brighter, more comfortable workout environment without sacrificing visibility.

This upgrade supports:

• Improved indoor comfort
• Reduced glare on cardio and training floors
• A more consistent appearance across the entire glass frontage

Full storefront upgraded with 3M Night Vision 25 window film.

Complete Privacy for the Hydro Massage Room

For the Hydro Massage Room, Sunray® Window Films installed Black Opaque Window Film to create total visual privacy. This allows members to relax and recover without outside visibility, while maintaining a professional, modern appearance for the facility.

Removal of Old, Failing Window Film

As part of this project, our technicians also removed the existing, deteriorated window film prior to installation. Proper removal is critical for:

• Long-term adhesion
• Clear, distortion-free glass
• A professional, finished appearance

It’s Always a Sunny Day at Sunray ™

Skylights offer natural light and architectural appeal, but without solar control they can create temperature spikes, glare, and higher cooling costs. To solve the issue, we installed 3M Affinity 15, a high-performance solar control window film designed specifically for commercial buildings dealing with heat gain.

The Skylight Heat-Gain Challenge

The skylight at Building 5 was exposed to direct sun throughout the day. This resulted in:

• Noticeable temperature increases

• Hot spots beneath the skylight

• Discomfort for staff and visitors

• Increased load on cooling systems

Replacing the glass would have been costly and disruptive. 3M Affinity 15 offered the perfect solution.

Why 3M Affinity 15 Was the Ideal Choice

3M Affinity 15 is engineered for high-sun-exposure glass structures such as skylights, atriums, and large commercial windows. It provides:

⇒ Significant heat reduction
⇒ Lower glare levels
⇒ More consistent indoor temperatures
⇒ Reduced HVAC strain
⇒ Natural daylight retention without harsh brightness

The Cleveland Clinic now benefits from dramatically improved thermal comfort without replacing any glass.

Project Results

After installation, Cleveland Clinic Building 5 experienced:

• A substantial reduction in heat from the skylight

• A more comfortable space for employees and patients

• Reduced glare from direct overhead sunlight

• Lower cooling demand and improved HVAC efficiency

This project demonstrates how premium 3M window film offers powerful performance without replacing existing glass.

In a world obsessed with data and design precision, light control is the analog equivalent of fine-tuning your algorithm.
At Ken Ganley Volkswagen in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, the environment wasn’t the problem — the glare was.

So, Sunray® Window Films stepped in with a clean, intelligent solution.

Solyx Snow White Light Diffuser film softly disperses natural light inside the Ken Ganley Volkswagen showroom, creating a bright and comfortable environment.

Upper Window Lites: Solyx Snow White Light Diffuser

Think of this as a front-end filter for sunlight. It takes harsh, high-contrast illumination and transforms it into soft, evenly distributed light — no hotspots, no visual noise. The result? A showroom that feels curated, calm, and timelessly bright.

Lower Window Lites: 3M Affinity 15 Heat & Glare Reducing Film

The backend optimizer. It quietly handles the heavy processing — cutting solar heat, minimizing glare, and reducing UV exposure — all while keeping visibility sharp. Like an invisible performance upgrade for the building’s envelope.

Together, these layers create an optimized environment where aesthetics and performance coexist — much like code and creativity.

Sunray’s Operating Philosophy

We believe every building deserves a smarter interface with light.
As a certified 3M dealer and Female- and Minority-Owned Company, Sunray® Window Films has spent decades integrating human comfort, energy efficiency, and architectural beauty — all through the science of glass.

Because sometimes innovation doesn’t need another app — just the right kind of filter.

The Sunray® Solution: Custom Window Film Installation

Our experts visited the dental office for a free on-site consultation, evaluating the building layout, sun exposure, and privacy concerns. After reviewing their needs, we recommended a two-part approach:

1. Light-Blocking Film for the Waiting Area
   To cut down on intense sunlight, we installed a frosted, opaque window film that reduces glare while maintaining a bright and inviting atmosphere. This creates a softer, more comfortable light for patients, improving their experience from the moment they walk in.
2. Reflective Privacy Film for Exam Suites
   For patient privacy, we applied a specialized reflective window film that allows staff and patients to see outside clearly while preventing visibility from the exterior. The film also reduces visible light and heat, making each treatment room cooler and more comfortable.

#1 Reduce Energy Costs

If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, then it’s time to think about reducing energy usage and save on large equipment maintenance expenses. Commercial window tinting lessens your building’s dependence on air conditioning and reduces the strain on your HVAC system, which can mean fewer repairs and a longer lifespan.

#2 Stabilize Temperatures

Buildings aren’t one-sided, which means part of the building will be in the shade while the other half is in the sun. These variables cause your HVAC system to kick in, but some offices can become too cold. Commercial window tinting stabilizes interior temperatures better, so your employees or tenants won’t go to war over the thermostat.

#3 Block Excess Heat and Glare

Stand next to a window on a sunny day, and you’ll find yourself sweating in no time. Put your desk and computer next to that same window, and you’ll spend more time out of the office than in it. Commercial window tinting solves both problems simultaneously by rejecting the sun’s rays and eliminating the glare they cause.

#4 Improve Indoor Comfort

Remember that sunny window we just mentioned? It may not fit as well as it should and could allow heat to escape in winter or enter in the summer. Commercial window tinting seals poor-fitting windows, so you can enjoy the view outside while remaining comfortable inside.

#5 Cost Effective Alternative to Window Replacement

It can take years to recoup the costs associated with replacing windows, whereas commercial window film provides insulation from the cold and heat while costing far less than installing double- or triple-paned glass.

#6 Protect Furnishings and Interior Surfaces

A solid pane of glass may look impermeable, but the sun’s ultraviolet rays can pass right through it, causing carpets, furnishings, and cubicle surfaces to fade over time. Commercial window tinting rejects UV rays and safeguards your interior.

#7 Improve Safety

Windows, as well as other glass surfaces, present a potential hazard when broken. Extreme weather, explosions, bomb blasts, and smash-and-grab crimes all put your building’s occupants at risk. Commercial window tinting prevents shards from scattering and makes the glass more durable, so the people who frequent your facility will be better protected should breakage occur.

The post 7 Reasons to Upgrade Your Building with Commercial Window Tinting appeared first on Sunray® Window Films & Installations.

#1 Maintain Stable, Comfortable Indoor Temperatures

Glass conducts heat year-round. In summer, those extra degrees can have a substantial impact on your building’s temperature. Warm surroundings are difficult to work or shop in, and hot weather increases the burden on your cooling system while causing energy bills to rise. By installing, 3M^TM Sun Control Low E 35 Window Film, nearly 99% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays will be blocked, which can extend the life of your air conditioning system while improving overall comfort indoors. It will also reduce the need for light-blocking blinds and drapes and lower dependence on costly artificial lighting.

#2 Make Windows Safer and More Durable

Despite their beauty, glass windows are vulnerable and can break any time of day or night. Storms, explosions, and smash-and-grab crime put your customers in jeopardy, so minimizing potential injuries is an investment in safety. High quality window film will hold broken pieces intact, making the surroundings safer without being obvious or unsightly. 3M™ Ultra Night Night Vision S25 Safety and Security window film’s ultra-durable, abrasion resistant qualities make it both beautiful and effective in unexpected circumstances.

#3 Reduce Reflectivity and Create a More Pleasant Experience After Dark

If the people who frequent your commercial building do so in the evening, they’ll likely notice the mirror-like reflection that comes with lesser quality window film. Most typical products don’t allow people to see clearly outdoors due to the way light reflects back into the interior during the evening. Ensure the best shopping or working experience possible by installing 3M™ Night Vision Film. It eliminates the boxed-in feeling that results from reflectivity.

~ ~ ~

Of its many benefits, window film’s energy savings make it a winner for any type of commercial building. After installation, you can expect to spend less on energy while reducing the wear and tear on your heating and cooling system. And if your building becomes more energy efficient, you may qualify for LEED credit as well. Give our industry experts a call today to discuss money-saving options that you can put to work for you.
