In this post Window Tinting Today will look at various , basic cutting tools and scrapers.Let us start with basic your basic Cutting Tool.
Use this stainless steel knife for film pattern cutting and trimming. Use only stainless steel blades with breakaway points to minimize likelihood of glass scratching.
Olfa Pro Load (AT-PA2) New expert series Pro-Load multi-blade cutter for window tinting can hold up to five blades at a time, giving you 65 new cutting segments per load. Unlike other multi-blade cutters, this cutter allows you to use every segment before disposing – you will not waste blades!
Auto Lock 8 pt. Knife (AT-2105-H1) Heavy-duty knife with breakaway points for use with security films 7 mils or greater.
Olfa Stainless Steel Snap Blades (AT-1145) Replacement blades for standard window tinting installation knives (AT-2103, AT-2109, AT-2107). Stainless steel blades must be used to avoid or reduce the risk of scratching glass. Remember to always use low cutting angles when cutting on glass surfaces. Pack of 50 blades.
Olfa Carbon Snap Blades (AT-2244) Replacement blades for standard installation knives (AT-2103, AT-2109, AT-2107). Be aware that these are not stainless steel. Stainless steel blades must be used to avoid or reduce the risk of scratching glass. Pack of 50 blades.
Some situations may arise where old tint must be removed before new tint can be applied. For this task we incorporate the use of a scraper tool, each has a design purpose.
1″ Heavy Duty Razor Scraper (AT-RS300) This scraper uses standard single-edged razor blades. Excellent for safety, grip strength, and maximum leverage where small blades are needed for film or other glass contaminant removal.

1″ Stainless Steel Single Edge Razor Blades (AT-137) Razor blades can be used alone or with AT-138, AT-212, & AT-199 for necessary glass cleaning/scraping. 100 blades per pack.
3″ Triumph Scraper (AT-210) Smaller version of the AT-107; very handy for smaller windows. Works better than the 6″ Triumph for automotive window tinting film removal on side windows. Best used on residential applications for smaller windows. Extremely efficient. Highly recommended.
3″ Triumph Blades (AT-211) For use with the 3″ Triumph Scraper AT-210. 25 blades per pack.
4” Scraper with 6″ Handle (AT-103)
4″ Scraper Blades (10/pk) (AT-105)
6″ Triumph Scraper MK II (AT-107) Scraper used in the first phase of glass preparation when window tinting.. Not for automotive use because of its blade length and inability to conform of compound-curved glass. Light weight, easy to use, and extremely efficient at removing contaminants. Absolutely essential window tinting tool for all flat glass installers. Use a 4-inch scraper like AT-103 or AT-104 to strip old film first, then use this scraper for final window preparation (adhesive removal. “Class A” recommendation!)
6″ Triumph Scraper w/ Cover (AT-107PC) Known as the “Triumph 2000,” this new version has all the features of the standard AT-107 but now has a built-in protective cover that can be operated with a flick of the thumb. No more fumbling with a separate blade cover. Safer and more convenient, especially when doing ladder work. Great for regular window cleaning, but not recommended for stripping off old film.
6″ Triumph Blades (AT-108) For use with any of the 6″ Triumph Scrapers. 25 blades per pack.
6″ Stainless Steel Triumph Blades (AT-108SS) Stainless steel version for use with any of the 6″ Triumph Scrapers. 25 blades per pack.

Commercial Window Tinting
Commercial window tinting is the right choice for your business.
Many architects today design commercial buildings with a contemporary, metallic look. This is stylish and hip, and is one way to set commercial businesses apart from duller buildings.
One simple way to add to this shimmery and metallic look is for the owners of commercial buildings to have their businesses’ windows tinted. Most Commercial window tinting uses film that reflects light, rather than absorbs light.
The reflected light on commercial skyscrapers gives the glass a shiny, metallic look, and adds to the design of the overall building.
Because some window tint reflects reflect heat and UV rays and allows visible light, this also saves businesses large amounts of money on cooling costs. And in today’s economy, businesses are always looking for ways to save their dollars.
Window tinting for commercial buildings comes in a wide variety of colors. Many architects use blue (cool) or gold (warm) tint to give their buildings a unique look.
Commercial buildings are also tinted for safety and privacy. Window tinting keep passers-by from peering into a building. However, people in their offices can clearly see what is going on outside. The tint almost acts like a one-way mirror, keeping offices secure. The reflective, as opposed to the absorbent window film used in residential real estate, creates the shiny, mirror-like quality used in commercial window tints.
Surprisingly, given all its benefits, the process of window tinting commercial buildings is a relatively new one. Previously, all commercial buildings were built with steel beams and covered with brick or stone, and windows were added to buildings the same way they were added to homes. Drapes, blinds and curtains were used to block the sun and create privacy. It wasn’t until builders began to construct skyscrapers mainly out of steel and an exterior finish of full frame glazing that window tinting films became more widely used in commercial buildings.
Now architects can give their buildings a unique, metallic look, and create exterior walls of windows instead of being limited to walls of brick or concrete.
