"They tinted my windows in my Casita travel trailer. Matt was professional and paid attention to every detail. The project turned out great and the trailer looks much newer. I would recommend them without hesitation."

"Sales process was good, courteous and helpful. Installation instructions were easy to follow. Did have a small issue with one sensor which was easily solved with a call. Control panel is easy to use and well constructed. Phone app is the best part. Not a big fan of a 2 year contract and the monthly rate feels a little high, but definitely a decent system. I had emailed them a question pertaining installing on double hung windows and never received a reply, but other than that their phone support prior to that was good."

"A co-worker recommended Solar Shield to me. Management was very nice and explained benefits, provided information on use and care; service was timely, and work was professional. I was instructed to wait 2 days/more before lowering windows for tint to aheare properly. As long as I'm the owner of vehicle, the tint job is good through the life of the car. The tint matches the other windows, and I love the privacy look."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of window tinting depends on several factors, but a high-quality, professionally applied tint can last anywhere from 5 to 25 years, with premium tints lasting at least 15 to 20 years. Key factors influencing longevity include the quality of the film, the professionalism of the installation, and the type of window. Some companies offer lifetime warranties, while others may only provide a one-year warranty or none at all, so it's wise to verify this with your service provider. To prolong the film's life, clean it gently with a microfiber towel and mild cleaning solutions. Avoid harsh, abrasive, alcohol-based, or ammonia-based cleaners, as well as sharp tools or scrubbers, which can damage the surface.

The most popular tint percentage for home windows is 35%. Generally, most homeowners choose a visible light transmission (VLT) between 50% and 35%, where lower numbers mean less sunlight enters the home. A 35% tint blocks over half the incoming light while still allowing plenty of natural light, which can improve energy efficiency and comfort. If privacy is a primary concern, you can opt for a tint of 50% or lower to make it more difficult for people to see inside. However, keep in mind that very dark, thick tints may offer fewer energy-efficiency benefits.

Unlike cars, there are no laws regulating window tint percentages on homes, so you can choose what you think is best. It is often a good idea to hire a professional, as they can show you samples of how different tint levels will look in your specific property, helping you make the right choice.

The visibility through tinted house windows depends on the lighting. During the day, when it is brighter outside, privacy film prevents people from seeing into your home. However, this effect reverses at night. If you have lights on inside, it becomes brighter indoors than outdoors, allowing people to see inside. To optimize privacy, you can select from various shades of film, ranging from lighter to darker, which affects how much is visible from the outside.

Home window tinting is generally considered a worthwhile investment due to its numerous benefits. The primary advantages include:

  • Energy Efficiency: Tinting reduces solar heat gain, which lowers cooling costs in warmer months. It can also help retain heat during cooler months, leading to savings on your electric bill that may eventually exceed the initial cost of the tinting.

  • UV Protection: It blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your family and pets from sun damage. This also prevents fading and extends the life of your furniture, flooring, and other interior furnishings.

  • Increased Comfort: By regulating heat, window tinting helps maintain a more comfortable and even temperature throughout your home. It also reduces glare on TVs and other electronic screens.

  • Enhanced Privacy and Security: Tinting makes it more difficult for outsiders to see into your home. Additionally, certain types of window films can increase security by helping the glass withstand trauma from break-in attempts or severe weather.

It's important to note that not all window tints offer the same combination of benefits. For example, security films are designed for impact resistance but may offer less UV protection, while ceramic tints excel at blocking heat and UV rays but do not provide the same level of security.

While you need heat to peel back window film, the tint will often leave behind adhesive residue. You can use chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol or acetone to remove the residue, though hardware stores sell specialized solutions for this purpose as well. You can also use soapy water in a pinch!
