Revolving Doors

got a request for window film on revolving doors to reduce glare at a restaurant today. haven't done them before. wondered if anyone has and what kind of results to expect.

Remember if you go to dark of film people will not see others coming out. This may only be on a cloudy day though. You may want to bring that up with you customer or not. Tint all 4 doors on the pull side of the doors to help prevent damage to the film. and if doors go both ways then you may get to go back and R&R and make more money.

bring up to the customer about putting up some clear safty film to prevent scratches on the film from keys and rings and such. It is an up sell and put it ontop of the solar film. be careful though on the type of film cause if you do a dual reflective when it revolves it will be the opposite side. Use a traditional film like a light silver or bronze. 35% probably. I know auto films are not recommended for flatglass but there are times when they will work better and if the issue is glare then there shouldnt be any worry as long as the glass is tempered.

there are films such as JWF Nightscape that are black films just like auto films....

I would think a 40 to 35% would do the trick as the looking out would be double most of the time with the doors revolving.

I would not recommend the the clear safety film. It will get damaged then you will have to replace it for free. If you must do so then see if it will affect the warranty of the film you put it on first. If it is ok then go for it. But sell it as a preventable measure only. As just the glass its self will get nicks and scratches alone. So do not warranty the safety film. As it will also show signs of damage at a later time.

the safety film will get beat up but won't look as bad as the tinted film getting nicked and gouged. you can see a nick in dark solar from across the room. we offer this to commercial jobs and haven't had to replace the safety on anything yet.
