Home Window Tinting Encino

It is not the right product. Automotive films are designed for vehicle glazing and are not made for the sealed units and larger panes found in houses, where heat absorbed by a dark film can create thermal stress in the glass. Use films made for residential glazing, and ask your installer to identify the existing glass before choosing.

Glass can break from thermal stress when one part of a pane heats and expands faster than the rest, and the film applied to it is one factor in that balance. This is why the existing glazing matters: the type of glass, its size, its condition and how much sun it takes all feed into which films are suitable. Discuss your specific windows with the installer before the film is selected.

Start with the problem rather than the product. If the issue is heat, look at solar control ranges; if it is exposure, look at reflective or frosted films; if it is fading or glare, a lighter film may be enough. Then confirm the glazing you already have, and compare the exact film and shade you are considering. A Kepler dealer can walk through the options with you.

Warranty terms are set by the glass or window manufacturer, not by us, and they vary between products. Check the wording of your own warranty, or ask the supplier directly, before film is applied to windows still under cover. Your installer can tell you which film is proposed so you have the details to hand.

Both business and home window films need to be matched to the glass they go on. Thermal stress happens when heat builds unevenly across a pane while the frame stays cooler, creating tension in the glass. Identifying the glazing first, and choosing a film suited to it, is how that risk is managed.

Yes, film can be removed, though it is work best left to someone with the right tools and experience so the glass and any seals are not damaged in the process. For background on what is involved, read our article on how to remove window film. If you want existing film taken off and replaced, mention it in your enquiry so the dealer knows.

Residential film can reduce solar heat gain, cut glare on screens and living areas, filter UV that fades interiors, and add daytime privacy, depending on which film you choose. Safety and security films add a layer that helps hold broken glass together. One film will not maximize every one of those at once, so it is worth deciding which matters most.

By reducing the solar energy entering through the glass, film lessens the heat load a cooling system has to deal with during the hottest hours, helping rooms hold a steadier temperature. How much difference it makes depends on the film, the glazing and how exposed the windows are. For premises, see our commercial window tinting options, which cover the same principles at a larger scale.

The residential range covers solar control, privacy, frosted, near-clear, blackout and safety films, from Polaris at the subtle end through to Aurora, Vesper and Orbit. Each has a different look and a different balance of light and performance, so compare the specific film and shade for the windows you have in mind.

Use the dealer finder to see installers listed near you, then contact them about your project. Where Kepler availability is not confirmed for a listing, ask whether they can source and install Kepler film. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.
