"Great customer service. Took extreme care coming in and out of house so as not ding doors, walls, floors, etc. Placed mats on floor where ladders/equipment were set-up. The installation was excellent; care taken to ensure application of tint film was done properly - no bubbles, no gaps with uncovered areas of the window, etc. Very pleased with all aspects of the job. Also, the pricing was competitive with that from other quotes obtained. Aaron was professional and personable. I would absolutely recommend them!"

"Great experience from start to finish! We have an 8ft. wide bay window that faces due west. Even though it's a double paned window, the amount of heat and glare coming from that window makes our living room unbearably warm and causes our air conditioner to run constantly in order to fight the heat. Did some research on Window Films and found Carolina Solar Control - a 3M certified installer. I made an online request for contact and our Sales Rep, Susan, called within a few hours to set up an appointment. Susan was extremely helpful and knowledgable! She did a great job of explaining the various products, answered all our questions, and made great recommendations. She left us with various samples so we could view the window with film at various times of day and this allowed us to take our time and make the perfect choice. Once our decision was made, we were quickly given a quote for the work and contacted by Bethany to set up an install appointment. She was extremely helpful in answering questions we had about how to prep for installation, etc. and got us all taken care of. Rick, their installer, showed on time and was very personable, professional, and did a fantastic job! We could immediately feel and see the heat and glare reduction from the film. (We chose the Affinity 30 line.) We're thrilled with our purchase and highly recommend Carolina Solar Control!"

"John Ross installed ceramic window tint in all my windows. The house seems cooler. Be aware when they quote $50 per window, it means one pane. If you have double pane windows, that cost $100 per window. John was friendly and did a great job."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

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.

If you have bubble wrap lying around the house and you don’t care about the odd look, taping bubble wrap over a window is a very affordable way to insulate it. Another inexpensive option for insulating windows is to add new caulk around the glass. This step quickly cuts down on air drafts for older windows, and a tube of caulk only costs a few dollars. Adding plastic shrink film around the glass is another cost-effective option. You can purchase a kit of plastic film for a few dollars per window.

ENERGY STAR®-certified windows are the most energy-efficient windows on the market. This certification means that the window meets strict efficiency guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. While they might cost more upfront, they can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. ENERGY STAR®-certified windows lower household energy bills by an average of 12% annually.

Solar screens reduce glare and block UV rays, which may slightly dim natural light and alter the view from inside. However, most homeowners find the trade-off worthwhile for improved comfort and energy savings. The impact depends on the screen’s color and density, with darker screens blocking more light but providing enhanced glare reduction and privacy.

You can easily and cheaply use tin foil or cardboard to black out your windows. Save a pretty penny by cutting either material to the size of your windows and taping it to the window. This is one of the easiest and most budget-friendly blackout solutions, but it definitely isn’t the most aesthetically friendly.
