Why Chestnut Hill businesses choose Sun Control Specialists.

Sun Control Specialists installs commercial window film throughout Chestnut Hill and Philadelphia. Our commercial clients include office buildings, retail storefronts, healthcare facilities, schools, and multi-tenant commercial properties. We handle projects from single-suite installations to full building retrofits.

Chestnut Hill is unique in our service area: estate-level residential on Philadelphia land. The glass on these homes is often historic and irreplaceable — much of it pre-dates 1920 and consists of hand-rolled or imported glass that cannot be sourced anymore. The covenants around preservation are strict and the Chestnut Hill Historical Society review process treats most exterior changes as effectively forbidden, which makes interior window film one of the only thermal interventions permitted on most of these properties. We spend as much time confirming with the homeowners' architects as we do with the homeowners themselves. The film we use here is invisible from the street by design — interior-applied at 70%+ VLT with the conservative protocol we reserve for pre-war single-pane glass. Germantown Avenue commercial work adds a steady flow of decorative film for boutique retail and restaurant storefronts in the historic strip.

What makes Chestnut Hill different
  1. 01 One of the most architecturally preserved residential districts in Philadelphia
  2. 02 Significant estate-scale properties inside Philadelphia city limits
  3. 03 Germantown Avenue commercial corridor: independent retail, hospitality, and professional services
  4. 04 Chestnut Hill Historical Society oversight effectively rules out exterior modifications
  5. 05 Strong architect-led residential market — many homes have been continuously updated for a century
