"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."

"We had them install UV protective coating on our windows. They gave me a fair quote, scheduled the installers in a reasonable time frame and showed up. Their workers were careful with our stuff and cleaned up after themselves. It is a pleasure not to have to close our blinds all day long now to protect our art and furnishings."

"Layr installed UV protection film on my windows and were a thoroughly professional outfit from beginning to end. Their crew is experienced and friendly and inspired confidence from my first phone call to the project's conclusion. The tech who came to my home and did the work was first-rate -- focused and conscientious, he was clearly committed to the company and his job, was protective of my home, and respectful and good-natured. Highly recommended."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
