Home Window Tinting Novato

Unlike our car window tinting service, home window tinting uses films made for architectural glazing. Residential films are matched to the glass type in your home and to the results homeowners want, such as heat and glare control, UV filtering or privacy. Automotive film is designed for vehicle glass and different conditions, so it is not the right product for house windows. A dealer will identify your existing glazing before recommending a film.

Film choice matters here. Any solar control film changes how much heat the glass absorbs, so an installer should identify the glazing type, size and orientation before recommending a product, particularly with double glazing. Choosing an appropriate film for the glass is the way this risk is managed.

Start with the problem rather than the product. Decide whether heat, glare, fading or privacy is the main issue, then look at which range addresses it: near-clear ceramic, neutral, dual-reflective, frosted or blackout. Browse the residential ranges on this page, then talk it through with a Kepler dealer, who can take your glazing into account and suggest films to compare side by side.

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

Glazing warranties vary between manufacturers and suppliers, and some set conditions about applied films. Check the terms of your own glazing warranty before work goes ahead, and ask your installer which film is appropriate for that glass.

Like commercial window film, residential film changes how much solar energy the glass absorbs, and in some situations that added thermal stress can contribute to glass breakage. Factors include the glass type, its size and edge condition, shading patterns and whether the unit is double glazed. Matching the film to the glazing, rather than picking on looks alone, is how installers keep that risk low.

Yes. Film is removable, and an experienced installer will use the right tools and technique so the glass is not damaged in the process. Our window film removal guide explains what is involved. If you are replacing older film in Novato, ask your installer to handle removal as part of the job.

Homeowners generally choose film to reduce solar heat and glare, filter UV light that fades interiors, and add daytime privacy. Safety film is a separate option that helps hold broken glass together. Which of these you get depends on the range and shade you choose, so compare the specific film.

Solar control film reduces the amount of solar heat entering through glazing, which can ease the load on cooling during hot spells and help rooms hold a steadier temperature. The effect varies with the film, the shade, the glazing and how much sun the windows get.

Kepler's residential ranges cover near-clear ceramic, neutral, reflective, dual-reflective, frosted, blackout and safety films.
