Our commercial window tinting and residential films are matched to the glass they go on. Glass can crack from thermal stress in certain circumstances, and the risk depends on the glazing type, its condition, the framing and shading, which is why the existing glass should be identified before a film is chosen. Discuss your windows with a dealer so a suitable film is specified for each one.

Start with the problem rather than the product. Decide whether solar heat, glare or privacy matters most in each room, then look at how much you want the appearance of the window to change. Browse the ranges on this site for a shortlist, and a Kepler dealer can confirm what suits your glazing.

Warranty terms vary between glass and window manufacturers, so check yours before work begins. Your supplier or installer can confirm whether applied film affects cover on your particular units, and knowing the glazing type helps that conversation.

Window film, whether for commercial or home use, is applied to glass that already expands and contracts with heat. Thermal stress cracking happens when part of a pane heats unevenly compared with the edges held in the frame. Glazing type, condition, shading and film selection all play a part, so the existing glass should be identified before choosing a film.

Depending on the film you choose, home window film can reduce solar heat gain, cut glare on screens, filter UV light that fades interiors and add daytime privacy. Safety film adds glass retention, helping hold broken pieces together after an impact. Which of these you get comes down to the product and your glazing, so it is worth being clear about the priority for each room.

Less solar heat coming through the glass means cooling systems have less work to do in warm weather. The effect depends on your glazing, how much glass you have and which way it faces. The same principle drives Kepler's commercial window tinting work. A dealer can discuss what is realistic for your home.

The residential range covers solar control, privacy, frosted, UV, energy-focused and glare reduction films, plus safety film for glass retention. Each behaves differently on the window, so compare the exact film and shade you are considering rather than a category name.
