"My husband and I recently purchased a house with floor to ceiling windows in the living room. Theyâ re stunning, but the heat they bring in is unbearable. We tried curtains, but I wasnâ t in love with the look, so I talked him into window tinting (he was hesitant, but us women always know best). While I knew it would make a difference, itâ s honestly better than expected! When coming in to do the consultation, we had narrowed it down to 2 options, so Glare Guardians put those 2 different films on part of the glass so we can sleep on it and see what we liked best. The overall experience was great and Iâ m in love with the outcome. Their team was extremely kind and thorough throughout the process."

"Tom has done so many of our windows for privacy film.This time security tinting to our front door as well as privacy film to it.His price is extremely fair.I had gotten a price quote for the same two applications on our front door and it was double the price that Tom asked for.Not only that but he turns out top quality! We are so grateful for his presence in our lives.My husband and I are now retired and so have a budget.Tom works with us since we want more done to our windows in the near future.His personality is very endearing-very much a people person!:) Excellent service !!Cathy and Mark Wolferman"

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

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 most energy-efficient windows are double—or triple-pane windows with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings and gas fills between the panes. These windows reduce heat transfer, prevent drafts, and help maintain a consistent indoor temperature. But if replacing windows isn’t in your budget, pairing your existing windows with insulating window treatments can still make a noticeable difference in home comfort and monthly bills. 

While it is possible to install home window tint yourself, it is a challenging task that is often best left to professionals. The process can be tedious and time-consuming, requiring steady hands and a great deal of patience, especially for a first-time installer.

Common mistakes in DIY applications include visible bubbles, imperfections, and film that either hangs over the edges or doesn't fully cover the glass. These errors not only look unprofessional and detract from your home's curb appeal but can also reduce the tint's effectiveness in blocking sunlight and heat. If you have struggled with applying protective films to smaller items like phones or tablets, you may find this task particularly difficult.

Attempting the installation yourself and making a mistake can lead to wasted material and the additional cost of hiring a professional to fix the issues or redo the job. Although hiring a professional involves labor costs, it typically guarantees a high-quality, seamless appearance and saves you from having to do the work over again.

No, it isn’t necessary to have energy-efficient windows. However, if you care about your energy bill and making your windows more energy efficient, fixing any heat, UV, or air transfer issues is an excellent way to lower your bills and keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

The most popular way to remove home window tint is by using a hairdryer. Most people already have one in their home, but if you don’t, you can buy one for as little as $15. All you need to do is turn the hairdryer to its hottest and highest setting and run it over the window tint for a few minutes. Then, you can easily peel it away. You may need some goo remover for any leftover adhesive, but this DIY could be free for many people.
