Home Window Tinting El Dorado Hills

Home window film is a different product from the automotive film used in our car window tinting service. Residential films are formulated for architectural glass and the rooms behind it, covering solar heat, ultraviolet light, glare and appearance. Automotive film is designed for vehicle glazing and is not the right choice for house windows, where the glass type and frame matter a great deal. Identify the existing glazing first and ask an installer to confirm the film is suitable for it.

Film changes how glass absorbs and holds solar energy, so film choice has to suit the glazing. A competent installer will look at the glass type, size, orientation and frame before recommending a film, and will avoid combinations known to place stress on a particular unit. Ask your installer to confirm the film is suitable for the specific windows in your home.

Start with the problem you want solved: solar heat, glare, privacy, fading or glass retention. Then consider the room, the direction the window faces and how much you want the appearance of the glass to change. Compare the exact film and shade rather than film types in general, since visible light transmission and solar performance are separate measures. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

Terms vary between glazing manufacturers, so check your own warranty documents before film is applied. Some manufacturers set conditions on applied films for particular units. Your installer can tell you which film they intend to use and its specification, which is what a manufacturer will usually want to know.

As with business window tinting, film applied to double-glazed units changes how much solar energy the glass absorbs, and in some combinations that added stress between warm glass and a cooler frame or edge seal can be a problem. This is why the glazing should be identified and the film matched to it before work starts, rather than choosing on appearance alone.

Removing film is a job for someone with the right tools and technique, since careless work can damage the glass or the surrounding frame. There is more detail on the process in our guide to how to remove window film. If you have old film on your windows, mention it in your enquiry so the installer can allow for stripping it before the new film goes on.

Depending on the film chosen, residential window film can reduce solar heat gain, cut glare on screens, limit ultraviolet light that contributes to fading, and add daytime privacy. Safety film adds a further benefit by helping hold broken glass together, though it is not a guarantee against entry or injury. Which of these you get depends on the product and the glazing it is applied to.

Solar control film reduces the amount of solar energy entering through the glass, which lessens the heat your cooling system has to remove on sunny days. The same principle applies to commercial window tinting, where large glazed elevations make the effect more visible. Results depend on the film, the shade and the existing glazing, so compare the specification for the exact product.
