Kepler Window Film for Vermont Homes

Some rooms get too hot by mid-afternoon, some too bright to read a screen in, some too open to the street. Kepler's architectural films go onto the glass you already have and deal with all three. Every film in the range rejects 99% of UV, the shades run from near-clear to full blackout, and the work is done by an independent Kepler dealer: tell us what you want tinted and we will introduce you to the closest one.

Kepler Specialist Performing Home Window Tinting

A film for every window in the house

The architectural range runs from a near-clear ceramic you would struggle to notice to a true blackout that shuts a room off completely, with neutral, reflective and frosted finishes in between. Your Kepler dealer works through it with you window by window.

One house, different windows

Know what you get

Kepler publishes what its architectural films do before you buy one: 99% UV rejection right across the range, and up to 85% heat rejection at the top of it. Your dealer matches that to the glass you have.

Take the Heat Off Summer

Vermont has warmed since the start of the last century, and more hot days are projected. The rooms that take the afternoon sun feel that first. Kepler's architectural range reaches up to 85% heat rejection, which is aimed squarely at the room nobody wants to sit in by four o'clock.

What a Residential Film Has to Do

A residential film has to do several things at once: hold back solar heat, absorb ultraviolet light, cut glare, and still look right on the glass years later. Kepler publishes what its architectural range does, with 99% UV rejection on every film and up to 85% heat rejection at the top of the range, and it backs the film itself with a 10-year limited warranty.

A window film is a laminate rather than a single sheet of tint: something to bond it to the glass, something to take out the ultraviolet, the tinted layer itself, a ceramic layer for infrared heat, and a coating on the room side to stand up to cleaning. The stack below shows the order they sit in. What changes from one Kepler range to the next is the finish and the shade, not the 99% UV rejection, which every architectural film carries.

Not Sure Which Film Your Windows Need?

Each Kepler range is built for a different job: neutral, reflective, ceramic, frosted, blackout or safety. Work through them here, then ask for a quote and your dealer will confirm which one suits your glass.

Cosmic

Cosmic is the neutral one, a gray film that cuts heat without turning your windows into mirrors. It comes in 19% and 35%, and at 19% it rejects 64% of total solar energy and cuts glare by 78%.

Which Film for Which Problem

Most people come to window film with one thing bothering them: a room too bright, a window too exposed, a floor going pale. Here is what each kind of film is for.

Solar film is the workhorse. It goes on the inside of the glass you already have and stops a large share of the sun's energy before it becomes heat in the room. Kepler's architectural range reaches up to 85% heat rejection at the top end, and Cosmic 19 rejects 64% of total solar energy while cutting glare by 78%. That is aimed at the west-facing room that turns uncomfortable on a July afternoon, and at the low winter sun coming off fresh snow. You keep your windows; the film does the rest.

Privacy film is how you stop a room being on display without boarding it up. Aurora is a white frosted finish that passes daylight and blocks the view completely, which makes it the usual choice for bathrooms, front-door sidelights and glass partitions. Ecliptic is dual-reflective, so it is reflective outside and much easier to see through from inside, in shades from 08% to 37%. Chromosphere is the mirrored silver if you want daytime privacy at its strongest. All of them work by daylight; after dark, with the lights on indoors, you will still want a blind.

Ultraviolet light does much of the damage that fades a rug, a hardwood floor, a painting or the arm of a sofa. Every film in Kepler's architectural range rejects 99% of UV, so it is not a feature you pay extra for: the neutral films, the ceramics, the frosted and the safety film all carry it. It counts for most in the rooms with the biggest glass and the longest sun, on the south side of the house or wherever a picture window looks out over open ground.

Solar control film cuts the heat coming in through the glass, which takes load off whatever cools the house in July, whether that is a heat pump, a window unit or an open window and a fan. Film manages solar gain rather than insulating the glass, so treat it as a summer measure and not a substitute for better glazing in winter. In an older Vermont house it is often the change you can make to the windows you have rather than the one that means replacing them.

Glare is what brings most people to window film in the first place. Kepler publishes glare reduction for its neutral range, 78% on Cosmic 19 and 61% on Cosmic 35, and the ceramic and dual-reflective films cut it too. The worst of it in Vermont is a low sun in the months either side of winter, coming straight through a south or west window and onto a screen. Film takes that down without making the room dark.

Vermont, United States

Common questions about home window film in Vermont, answered plainly.

No, and the two are not really the same product. Automotive film is made for the curved, tempered glass in a vehicle; architectural film is made for the flat glass in a building, and Kepler sells them as separate ranges for that reason. Vermont's tint rules are motor-vehicle rules: 23 V.S.A. section 1125 governs what can be applied to a vehicle's glass, and the Vermont DMV issues a window tint permit for drivers with a medical exemption. None of that reaches the windows in your house.

Your dealer will specify from Kepler's architectural range and match the film to the glass you actually have.

Both commercial window tinting and home window film can, rarely, contribute to thermal stress in glass that is already vulnerable: a chip, a poor edge, or deep shade falling across part of the pane. That is why the film is matched to the glass before it goes on. Kepler backs that choice too, with five years of thermal glass breakage cover on Cosmic, Chromosphere, Ecliptic and Polaris for qualifying installations under its architectural warranty.

Legal Consequences of Illegal Window Tinting in Vermont|VT

Start with the problem rather than the product. If a room is too hot or too bright, look at Cosmic or Polaris. If people can see in, look at Aurora, Ecliptic or Chromosphere. If you want a room properly dark, Orbit blacks it out completely. If it is a door panel or a large pane you worry about, K-Shield is the 8 mil safety film. Then there is the glass itself: its type, age, size and whether it is double-glazed all bear on which film is appropriate, and that is the part your Kepler dealer confirms when they quote. Send the rooms and windows through the quote form and they will take it from there.

That depends on your window manufacturer rather than on Kepler, so check your own paperwork before the film goes on. Some glass warranties set conditions on applied film, particularly on sealed double-glazed units. What Kepler publishes is its own cover: a 10-year limited warranty on the film itself against defects such as peeling, bubbling, cracking and delamination, non-transferable and running to the original purchaser, with claims made through the company that installed it.

Home Window Tinting and Warranty Considerations in

It comes up in commercial window tinting and in home installations alike. Thermal stress is what happens when one part of a pane heats much faster than the rest and the glass cannot take the difference. It is uncommon, and it is largely a matter of specification: the type and size of the glass, its edge condition, how much of it sits in shade, and how much solar energy the film absorbs rather than reflects. That is why the film is chosen for your glass, and why Kepler's five-year thermal glass breakage cover on Cosmic, Chromosphere, Ecliptic and Polaris applies to qualifying installations.

Yes. Architectural film is removable, and it is a job worth giving to someone who does it regularly, because the film comes away in sheets or in shreds depending on its age and type, and the adhesive behind it has to be cleaned off without scoring the glass. Orbit is the one to keep in mind: Kepler states that it bonds permanently. If you are taking film off before selling or redecorating, ask the dealer quoting your new film whether they handle removals as well.
