Carolina Solar is the premier provider of window film and window tint for Wake Forest homes and businesses. A few of our projects in Wake Forest include:
Concord Hospitality Headquarters
Having installed window films at multiple Concord Hospitality locations in the Triangle and beyond, Carolina Solar installed 3M’s Sun Control Night Vision 25 window tint at their main office headquarters location in Wake Forest. This film reduces heat and reduces glare to increase energy efficiency and improve tenant comfort inside the building.
Franklin & Thales Academy Schools
Carolina Solar has installed 3M’s Sun Control Affinity 15 Mirror Privacy Tint at several locations of the Franklin & Thales Academy Schools. The Affinity 15 film provides heat reduction, glare reduction and increased privacy with a metalized polyester formulation. While the exterior features mirror reflectivity, from inside the building, the film provides a low-glare, comfortable view to the outside.
New Wake County YMCA
For the new YMCA in Wake County, Carolina Solar installed 3M’s Scotchshield Security Film with Impact Protection Adhesive (IPA) attachments at key access points throughout the building. The IPA attachments provide additional protection against impacts from weather or intrusion attempts. Carolina Solar also installed frosted bands of Milano decorative film on glass walls inside the building for visual interest.
