Home Window Tinting Redford

Home film and automotive film are specified for different glazing, so they are not interchangeable with our car window tinting service. Residential films are made for the flat, often double-glazed panes found in houses, and are chosen with heat, glare, UV and privacy in mind. Because glass type, size and shading all affect how a pane handles absorbed heat, ask your installer to specify a residential film suited to the windows you actually have.

Any film that absorbs solar energy changes how a pane heats up, and in rare cases thermal stress can lead to breakage. Risk depends on the glass — its type, thickness, size, edge condition, any coating, and how much shade falls across it. That is why the glazing should be identified before a film is chosen, and why the film should be matched to it. Talk it through with a Kepler dealer, who can advise on a suitable product for your windows.

Start with the problem: heat, glare, privacy, UV or holding broken glass together. Then look at the window itself, since the glazing narrows the sensible options. The online film selector is a useful first step for narrowing shades, and a Kepler dealer can take it from there, discussing the exact film and shade against the rooms you want treated.

Glazing warranties are set by the company that made or supplied your windows, and terms vary, so check yours before applying film. Tell them the glazing type and the specific film you are considering; a Kepler dealer can give you the product details you need for that conversation.

Glass expands as it warms. When one part of a pane absorbs more heat than another — a shaded edge against a sunlit center, for instance — the difference in expansion creates stress, and in rare cases that can crack the glass. Film changes the absorption pattern, which is why the film should be matched to the glazing, orientation and shading of each window rather than picked on appearance alone.

Yes, film can be taken off, though removal is best left to someone experienced, as the adhesive and the film layer usually come away separately and glass can be damaged by scraping. Our guide on how to remove window film explains what the process involves. An installer can also advise on removing old film before new film goes on.

Depending on the film you choose, home window film can reduce solar heat gain, soften glare, filter UV that fades furnishings, add daytime privacy or help hold broken glass together. Most homeowners are after a combination, and the balance between them is what the film choice decides.

Windows are the weak point in a building's envelope. Film works on heat exchange at the glass, reducing solar heat gain through sunny elevations so rooms hold a steadier temperature and cooling systems work less hard. The same thinking applies to our commercial window tinting work. Results depend on the film, the glazing and how much sun the window takes.
