Home Window Tinting Kihei

It is not recommended. Automotive films are made for vehicle glazing and are typically darker and more heat-absorbing, which is not what you want on a household window, especially a double-glazed unit. Residential films are designed for architectural glass and come in a far wider range of finishes, so ask your installer for a film intended for the windows you have.

A professional installer will check those details first and recommend a suitable product. Explore our

Identify the glass and its condition before choosing a film, and let a professional installer make the recommendation.

The main ones are solar heat control, glare reduction, UV filtering and added daytime privacy, and most homeowners are after some mix of them.

Solar control film reduces the heat that enters through the glass, so cooling systems work less hard to hold a steady indoor temperature through the warmer months. The effect depends on the film, the glazing and how exposed the windows are, so compare the specifications for the exact film and shade rather than assuming a figure. A Kepler dealer can walk you through those numbers.
