Home Window Tinting Boston

Home and vehicle films are built for different jobs, which is why residential work is kept separate from our car window tinting service. Architectural films are designed for the glazing used in houses and for the performance homeowners are after: solar heat, glare, UV and privacy. Automotive film is made for vehicle glass and installation, so it is not a substitute on a window at home. Identifying your existing glazing first is the safest way to get the right product.

Glass can be affected by how much solar energy it absorbs, and that varies with the type of glazing, its size and how the unit is built. This is why the film is matched to the window rather than chosen on appearance alone. Before any work starts, have the installer identify what glazing you have so a suitable film can be selected for it.

Start with the problem rather than the product. Note which rooms are affected, whether the issue is heat, glare, fading or being overlooked, and whether you need privacy in daylight only or after dark as well. Then compare the ranges on this site for the look you want. A Kepler dealer can take it from there, checking your glazing and recommending a film and shade that suits both the room and the window.

Window and glazing warranties are set by the company that supplied or installed the glass, so the sensible step is to check the terms with them before film is applied. An installer can tell you which film is being proposed and its specification, which is usually the information a glass supplier asks for.

Any film changes how much solar energy the glass absorbs, and absorbed heat is what puts stress into a pane. Kepler's residential films use nano-ceramic and titanium nitride layers that work on heat-carrying light, and the risk is managed by matching film to glazing. That is the reason an installer should identify the existing glass, its size and orientation before recommending a product.

Yes. Film is bonded to the glass, so removal is a careful job involving the film and its adhesive, and doing it properly avoids damaging the pane or the frame. Our article on how to remove window film explains what the process involves. If you have old film on your windows, mention it when you enquire so it can be taken into account.

The main gains are solar heat reduction, less glare, UV filtering that helps protect furnishings, and more daytime privacy. Safety and security films add glass retention, helping hold broken pieces together after an impact. Which of these you get depends on the film you choose and the glazing it is applied to.

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

Solar control film reduces the heat that enters through glass, so rooms that overheat are easier to keep at a steady temperature and cooling equipment does not have to work as hard through a Boston summer. The effect varies with the film, the glazing and how much sun the windows take, so it is best discussed against your own rooms.

The residential range covers neutral solar films, reflective and dual-reflective films, ceramic films, frosted and blackout privacy films, and safety and security film. Each is built for a different combination of heat, light, privacy and glass retention. You can compare the finishes and specifications through the Kepler Experience.
