Home Window Tinting San Lorenzo

Home window film is a different product from the film used in our car window tinting service. Residential films are formulated for architectural glass and for the way heat builds behind it, and they are chosen around your glazing type. Automotive film is designed for vehicle glass and is not the right choice for a house, so start from the residential range instead.

Our commercial window tinting and residential films are selected with thermal stress in mind, because any film that absorbs heat changes how the glass behaves. Risk depends on the glazing, its size, its condition, the shading around it and the film specified, which is why the existing glass should be identified before a film is chosen. Discuss your windows with an installer and they can match the film to them.

Start with the problem rather than the product. Note which rooms are too hot, where glare lands, which windows are overlooked and what the glazing is. From there the Kepler home range narrows quickly, from clear ceramic films through neutral and reflective options to frosted and blackout. A Kepler dealer can talk the choice through, and you can view the ranges in the Kepler Experience.

Glass manufacturers set their own conditions for applying film to sealed units, and those terms vary by manufacturer, product and glazing type. Keep your glazing paperwork to hand and raise it early, so the installer can take it into account when specifying a film for your windows.

Breakage linked to film is usually a thermal stress issue: part of a pane heats and expands more than the rest, and the stress concentrates at the edges. Glazing type, pane size, edge condition and partial shading all feed into it. Identifying the existing glass first, then matching the film to it, is how that risk is managed.

Yes. Film is a surface layer and can be taken off, though it is best done carefully so the glass is not scratched and the adhesive residue is cleaned off properly. If you have older film to remove before new film goes on, mention it when you enquire, or use the dealer finder to reach an installer who can handle it.

Depending on the film you choose, home window film can reduce solar heat, cut glare, limit UV exposure that fades interiors, and improve daytime privacy. Safety and security films add a different benefit again, helping hold broken glass together after an impact, though they are not a guarantee against entry or injury.

Film reduces how much solar heat passes through the glass, so sun-facing rooms are easier to keep comfortable and cooling equipment cycles less. The effect depends on your glazing, how much glass the room has and which film is fitted, so it is best assessed window by window with an installer.

The residential choice is broad: clear ceramic, neutral, reflective, dual-reflective, frosted, blackout and security films all sit in the Kepler home range. Our Kepler Experience sets out the ranges side by side, with the technical data for each film so you can compare like for like.
