Home Window Tinting Lafayette

Automotive film is designed for vehicle glazing, not for the sealed insulated units common in homes. Home films are formulated for residential glass and appearance, and using a car film indoors risks both an odd look and an unsuitable heat load on the glass. Choose a residential film for a residential window.

Glass and film have to be matched. Some glazing types are more sensitive to absorbed heat than others, which is why an installer should identify your existing glass, its type and its condition before recommending a film. Where the specification is chosen carefully, film is a routine addition to a home window.
