Places of worship are built to be peaceful, welcoming, and filled with natural light — but large architectural windows can also bring in harsh glare, uncomfortable heat, and damaging UV rays.

This church near Waynesburg, PA reached out to Shade9 Window Tinting after struggling with those exact issues.

To restore comfort, protect the interior, and maintain the beautiful aesthetic of their arched windows, our team professionally installed LLumar architectural window film, engineered specifically for solar control.

Why Churches Choose Window Tinting

Churches, sanctuaries, chapels, and fellowship halls often have expansive windows that create stunning visual appeal — but without proper UV and heat rejection, they can create problems such as:

✔️Harsh Glare on Pews & Screens

Bright afternoon sunlight makes the space uncomfortable, tinting softens glare without darkening the interior.

✔️Hot Spots & Temperature Imbalance

Sections of the room become significantly warmer when sunlight pours in. Solar control film creates a more even, comfortable indoor temperature.

✔️Protection Against UV Fading

LLumar window films block 99% of UV rays, helping preserve:

benches and pew cushions
flooring
artwork
stained glass
interior décor

✔️Energy Savings for Churches

Reducing heat means HVAC systems don’t have to work as hard. That means lower energy costs, especially in older buildings that tend to run warm.

✔️Privacy Options Without Changing the Architecture

Some churches benefit from tint levels that offer privacy from outside viewers, all while keeping the original beauty of the architecture intact.

Shade9’s Recent Church Project in Pennsylvania

In this installation, the church was experiencing strong afternoon glare and heat buildup through their large arched windows (as shown in the photo). We installed a performance LLumar film designed to:

Reduce heat
Cut glare dramatically
Block UV rays
Maintain clear visibility
Preserve the beautiful architecture

The result? A brighter, more comfortable worship space without altering the appearance of the church’s windows.
