They are different products. Automotive films are made for vehicle glazing and the way it is built and shaped, while residential films are specified for architectural glass, including insulated double-glazed units. Putting the wrong film on a window can affect how the glass handles heat, so choose a film specified for residential glazing and have the existing glass identified first.

Glass breakage is usually a thermal stress issue rather than a fault with film itself. It comes down to how much solar energy a particular film absorbs on a particular pane, which is why the glazing type, size, orientation and condition all need to be identified before a film is selected. A dealer will assess the windows and recommend a film suited to them.

Start with what you want to change: heat, glare, privacy, fading or added glass retention. From there, the choice narrows quickly between neutral, reflective, dual-reflective, frosted and safety films. You can compare the ranges in the Kepler Experience, then ask a dealer to confirm what will work on the glazing you have and how each option will look from inside and out.

Window warranties are set by the glass or window manufacturer, not by Kepler, and terms vary between products. Before film goes on, check the warranty documents for your windows or ask the supplier who provided them. Your dealer can tell you which film is being proposed and supply its technical data, which is what a manufacturer will usually want to see.

When breakage happens, it is generally thermal stress: heat absorbed in the glass creates uneven expansion between the hot center of a pane and its cooler edges. Different films absorb and reflect solar energy to different degrees, so the film has to be matched to the glazing rather than chosen on looks. That assessment is part of the job for any residential installation.

Yes. Film is removed with the right tools and technique, and doing it carefully protects the glass and any surrounding trim. Our article on how to remove window film explains the process in more detail. If you have older film to take off before new film goes on, mention it when you send your enquiry.

Film can reduce solar heat and glare in rooms that take direct sun, absorb ultraviolet light that contributes to fading, and add daytime privacy where windows face the street. Safety film goes a step further by helping hold broken glass together on impact, although it is not a guarantee against entry or injury. Which benefits you get depends on the film and shade you choose.

By reducing solar heat gain through sun-facing glass, film can ease the demand on cooling during warmer months. The same thinking applies to offices and storefronts, which is where Kepler's commercial window tinting range comes in. Results depend on the film, the glazing and how the home is used, so discuss your rooms with a dealer.

Residential films fall into a few families: neutral films that change little, reflective and dual-reflective films for solar control and daytime privacy, frosted films for diffused light, blackout film for full light control, and safety film for glass retention. You can compare them in the Kepler Experience, which sets out how each range looks and what it is designed to do.

Use the dealer finder on this page to see listed installers, or ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. Our find a tinter tool is the quickest starting point. If you approach an installer independently, ask whether they can source and install Kepler film before booking.
