North Hills Window Tinting for Offices, Condos and Homes

North Hills grew from a 1960s shopping center into Midtown Raleigh's mixed-use district, with offices stacked over stores, hotels and apartment and condo buildings along Six Forks Road. The ranch-house neighborhoods around it add a residential side.

Six Forks Road Office Tinting at North Hills

Mid-rise towers at North Hills put professional firms, wealth managers, medical practices and corporate offices above street-level shops and restaurants. Most are newer mid-rise buildings with large insulated glass, and several face west toward Six Forks Road or overlook the Beltline. Upper floors have no shade at all.

West-side suites take full sun through the afternoon. Film there reduces heat and glare at the perimeter so the window offices are usable after lunch. Because these buildings are managed for a uniform look, the landlord typically specifies or approves the film. We prepare the submittal and schedule installs during tenant build-outs or after hours in occupied suites.

Retail, Restaurant and Hotel Window Film at North Hills

North Hills' streets are lined with storefronts, many facing each other across short blocks, with patios and outdoor seating. Restaurants on the sunny side want cooler dining rooms and less glare at the bar. Boutiques want to slow fading in display windows. Light solar film and clear UV film do both while keeping storefronts open and visible.

Hotels in the district use film on guest room glass for heat and glare, and on lobby and meeting room glass for privacy. Installs are scheduled around occupancy and events.

Condo and Apartment Window Tinting in Midtown Raleigh

The residential towers at North Hills have floor-to-ceiling windows and some of the best views in Raleigh, west toward the sunset and south toward downtown. Those same views mean heat and glare in the late afternoon. Most associations allow near-clear interior film that does not change the exterior, and we provide specs for board review.

Units that look into another building across the street can add frosted bands or gradient film for evening privacy. Owners renting out a unit sometimes film the bedroom glass only, which keeps the cost down and solves the complaint tenants raise most.

Window Film for Ranch Homes Around North Hills

The neighborhoods around North Hills were built mostly in the 1950s and 1960s, with brick ranch houses, big picture windows and mature trees. Many have been renovated or replaced with larger new houses. Older ranches often still have their original single-pane picture windows, and new builds have tall glass facing the backyard.

For the ranches, low-E or solar film on the picture window takes the edge off summer heat and winter drafts. For new builds, heat film on west-facing upper windows and privacy film where a new two-story house now overlooks a neighbor's yard are the usual requests. Neighborhood covenants are lighter here than in newer subdivisions, but we still recommend neutral films on street-facing glass.

Midtown Raleigh Tinting Questions

Who approves film on a North Hills office suite?

The landlord or property manager, usually through a submittal. We prepare product data and a sample, and coordinate the install with building management.

Can film go on during a tenant build-out?

Yes, and it is often the easiest time. Film goes on after finishes and before furniture, so there is nothing to move.

I bought the unit for the skyline. Will film ruin it?

Spectrally selective film is close enough to clear that most owners forget it is there. We tape a darker and a lighter swatch side by side on your living room glass at sunset so you can judge.

Is film worth it on an original ranch house picture window?

Usually. Old single-pane picture windows lose heat in winter and gain it in summer, and low-E film helps in both seasons without replacing the window.
