Home Window Tinting Mobile

They are different products. Automotive film is made for vehicle glazing and shading rules, while residential film is formulated for the flat glass and glazing types used in houses, including options for frosted, reflective and safety applications. Using car film on home windows risks a poor result on glass it was never designed for, so choose a residential product for a residential window.

Glass can be affected by thermal stress when heat builds unevenly in a pane, and the risk depends on the glazing type, its condition, the exposure and the film selected. That is why the existing glazing should be identified before a film is chosen. Matching the right product to the right window is the practical way to manage the risk.

Start with the problem rather than the product. Note which rooms are affected, which way they face, whether the issue is heat, glare, fading or privacy, and what kind of glazing you have. From there you can narrow down to a near-clear solar film, a reflective or dual-reflective range, a frosted film or a safety product, and a Kepler dealer can confirm the choice for your windows.

Window and glass manufacturers set their own warranty conditions, and some specify what may be applied to the glazing. Check the terms that came with your windows, and tell the installer what glazing you have before work begins so the film selected fits within those conditions.

Breakage is usually a thermal stress issue: heat absorbed in one part of a pane expands the glass unevenly against cooler edges or shaded areas. Sealed units, older glass, edge damage and heavy shading all influence how much stress a window can take. Choosing a film appropriate to the glazing, rather than the darkest one available, is what keeps that risk low.

Yes. Film is removed from the glass along with its adhesive, and doing it carefully protects both the pane and any surrounding frames and seals. An experienced installer will handle removal and cleaning, which is worth arranging if you are changing film or restoring the original appearance of the glass.

Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. For more information, see quick quote.

The main benefits are solar heat reduction, less glare, reduced ultraviolet transmission and, with the right product, daytime privacy. Safety and security films add a layer that helps hold broken glass together. Which of these you get depends on the film and shade chosen for your glazing.

By rejecting part of the sun's energy at the glass, solar film reduces the heat entering a room, which lowers the cooling load during hot months. The same approach is used in commercial window tinting where large glazed areas make solar gain a bigger issue. Results depend on the film, the glazing and the exposure.
