A&C Glass Tinting has served Charlottesville and Albemarle County since 1988, installing window film across UVA campus buildings, UVA Health medical facilities, Downtown Mall businesses, and university town commercial properties. From Rotunda-area offices to West Main Street retail, we provide security film, energy-efficient solar control, and privacy solutions.

Solutions
Four core systems, each matched to federal and commercial security requirements.
DC's concentration of commercial tenants, embassies, and high-profile targets demands the highest level of physical security.
Applications: commercial office buildings, secure facilities, law firms handling classified matters, and ground-floor offices in high-security zones.
DC office buildings face federal energy performance requirements. Solar film delivers measurable savings while maintaining daylight.
Most effective on south and west facades, where solar heat gain is strongest.
DC offices handling classified information need sophisticated privacy film that maintains professional aesthetics.
Downtown DC retail and ground-floor commercial space face vandalism risk. Anti-graffiti film takes the damage so the glass doesn't.
A UVA Health medical office building installed privacy film across 24 glass-walled exam rooms. Result: HIPAA compliance achieved for $4,200 vs. $28,000 for frosted glass replacement, with installation completed over one weekend without disrupting patient care.
Recent Work
Each project starts with a challenge, gets a specific film system, and ends with numbers.
Ground-floor windows facing a public street required enhanced security film installation.
14-mil security film with wet-glazed anchor attachment system across 38 windows.
Secure facility required commercial-grade blast protection and visual surveillance prevention.
Dual-layer security film with Casper Cloaking for digital privacy.
West-facing offices hitting 82°F+ with severe screen glare. Glass conference rooms lacked privacy.
Solar film on perimeter offices, frosted privacy film on conference rooms.
