"Arctic Window Tinting was so easy to work with. Bob helped us select the proper film for our great room windows after discussing what results we were aiming to achieve. He provided an immediate estimate and scheduled the installation for a few days later. Mike arrived on time and worked quickly to install the film. We are completely satisfied with the professional service of Arctic Window Tinting and love the glare reduction and protection from UV rays. The view through our windows actually looks better with the film."

"Contacted them by phone by referral from Angie's list. There were few, if any, prior reviews. The friendly rep provided an instant quote that was less than the three other companies I contacted. They indicated that they could obtain the glass and have it installed at my shop later that afternoon. Although the tech arrived a bit later than had been indicated, it was not a problem. The tech was very courteous, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. We knew that there was some visible, and possibly hidden, rust around the windshield frame and were concerned about whether the glass should be put in before that was addressed, possibly even by a body shop. No problem for the Clearview tech. He explained that he would sand and otherwise treat the area so that the windshield could be installed without concerns about the seal or leaks. The glass was installed nicely. Was there any extra charge for the unanticipated extra effort to prepare the area to receive the glass? NO. The job was billed as quoted. Bravo, Clearview! A job well done. Thank you. We will definitely call on you again!

"Everything was very friendly and professional. I used information from Angie's deal, called and arranged a convenient time for visit and estimate.  Joe came from their Springfield, PA main facility and thoroughly explained their product, and their experience providing us with samples, information about the filtering each tint provided and  brochures. Exact measurements where taken verifying where .the work was to be done.  He left the samples with us to pick out the shade(s) of tinting with his recommendations.  They provided a proposal via email in one day.
We responded on the phone. adding an additional patio door and window to be tinted.  They provided a second proposal in a day.  We accepted via email, and agreed on a date.
Joe and his son showed up about a week later with all materials needed, cut ready to be installed.  Installation was very efficient, and they were very friendly.  They made certain that all was installed to our satisfaction, and reminded us of the lifetime guaranty.

"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."

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.

Use a combination of blackout methods to truly black out your windows. If you want to eliminate all light from your room, try installing a very dark tinted film and then putting up blackout shades over the entire window. Reach out to a professional and request some custom-made shades for the best result.  

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.

To darken your windows without curtains, try installing window film or even installing an awning outside your windows. Window film is a DIY-friendly option with many different darkness levels you can choose from to fit your desired look. Awnings can also help by casting shade over your window, though this isn’t feasible for every home.
