Elgin is our home. AAA Glass Tint is headquartered here, and Elgin’s hospitals, schools, churches, offices, stores and industrial buildings along Randall Road, Route 20 and I-90 make up some of our longest-running customer relationships. The window problems are familiar ones: heat and glare in offices, privacy in clinics and conference rooms, safety and security at entrances, and branding on interior glass.
Every project starts on site. David Johnson, the owner, or one of our field technicians looks at the glass type, sun exposure, framing and how the space is used, and recommends the film that fits that building. Our own crews do the installation.
Our work in Elgin and the surrounding area
Here are some of the projects we have completed in Elgin and the surrounding area. This is a sample, not a complete list of our work there.
Advocate Sherman Hospital. More than 80 separate decorative and privacy film installations, including custom hallway designs we created for the hospital in 2017 and 2018. See the Advocate Sherman Hospital case study.
Central Unit School District 301. From 2020 to 2025 we installed about 9,000 square feet of window film across the district’s schools and district office.
Grand Victoria Casino. Since 2017 we have completed more than a half dozen projects at the casino: solar control and blackout film at the south entrance hallway and doors, film in the banquet room and executive offices, frosted film on 12 concourse panels in 2024, Solar Gard Sentinel Plus DX 15 on the regional vice president’s office in 2024, and old film removal and new blackout film in 2025.
Winston Knolls School. In 2026 we installed safety film with perimeter caulking on 29 atrium glass panels at this private school, about 825 square feet, so that if the glass is accidentally broken the film helps hold the pieces together and reduces the risk of injury from falling glass.
Offices and businesses. Frosted privacy film for offices at 2500 Westfield Drive and 1600 Larkin Avenue and for Chase Bank on Randall Road, working with Swan Contractors (2019 to 2025); Solar Gard TrueVue 30 in two suites at 75 Market Street for JRA Holdings (2023); blackout film with caulking on 14 panels at 2701 Galvin Drive with McShane Construction (2020); Panorama Slate 20 at Kellenberger Plumbing (2021); and window film on 58 warehouse panels at Nobelus (2025).
Healthcare, churches and community. Decorative film in the gift shop at St. Joseph Hospital (2020); Solar Gard TrueVue 5 and white frosted film at St. Joseph Church (2025); film in the offices, nursery and playroom at St. Hugh Church (2020 and 2022); gradient film and lettering at Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin, working with Reliant Contract Glass (2018); and Panorama Slate 20 in the bar area at the Elgin Riverside Club (2019).
South Elgin. Security film at Lacey’s, a Lucky Lincoln Gaming location on Randall Road (2026), and window graphics at Leslie’s Pools and Supplies (2016).
