Home Window Tinting Snellville

Automotive and residential films are designed for different glass and different conditions, so a car film is not a sensible choice for a house. Residential films are specified for the glazing found in homes, including insulated units, and they are made for the appearance and light levels you want indoors. Identify what glazing you have and choose a home film specified for it.

Glass can be sensitive to how heat builds up in the pane, and that is why film choice starts with identifying the glazing. Single pane, insulated units, laminated and coated glass all behave differently, and films are specified accordingly. A dealer will look at your windows and recommend a film suited to them rather than applying the same product everywhere.

Start with the problem rather than the product. Decide whether heat, glare, fading, privacy or glass safety is the priority, note which rooms and which windows are affected, and check what glazing you have. From there the choice narrows quickly, and a Kepler dealer can compare the specific films and shades that fit those windows.

Window warranties are set by the company that made your windows, so check the terms with that manufacturer or your installer before work goes ahead. It is a short conversation, and it is best had while you are still choosing the film rather than afterwards.

Any glass can break, and film is only one of the factors involved; the type of glass, its condition, existing edge damage and how heat builds up in the pane all matter. That is why the glazing is identified first and the film matched to it. Discuss the windows you want treated with your installer so the right product is specified for each one.

Yes, film can be removed, and it is a job best left to someone with the right tools. Adhesive residue and the risk of scratching the glass are the usual problems when it is attempted without them. There is more detail in our guide on how to remove window film. Your installer can also advise on removing older film before a new one goes on.

The main benefits are solar heat control, reduced glare, UV filtering that helps slow fading of furnishings, and daytime privacy where windows are overlooked. Safety films add a different benefit again, helping hold broken glass together after an impact. Which of these you get depends on the film and shade you choose, so pick the range that matches your priority.

Solar control film reduces the heat coming through the glass during the day, which eases the demand on cooling in the rooms that take the most sun. The same principle is applied at larger scale through our commercial window tinting work. Results depend on the film, the shade and the glazing it is applied to, so compare the specific product with your dealer.

Kepler's residential ranges run from near-clear ceramics to reflective, dual-reflective, frosted, blackout and safety films, so most homes are covered by one of them. The Kepler Experience is the easiest way to see the finishes and shades together before you decide.
