Professional Residential Window Tinting That Works Smarter
That room that turns into an oven every afternoon. The glare across the TV or computer screen. Floors and furniture slowly fading in the sun. Or the feeling that anyone outside can see straight into your space.
The right residential window film helps take control of what comes through your glass without changing the ambiance of what you love in each room.
Residential Window Film Options
SOLAR WINDOW FILM
Solar window films provide tailored solutions for enhanced performance and comfort. Clear view films improve visibility while blocking heat and UV rays, metallic films offer a reflective shine and higher performance, neutral films reduce glare and heat without a silver appearance, and exterior films reduce heat and glare while maintaining a consistent look for outdoor glass.
Features & Performance:
Very high Performance
Extremely Reflective Exterior & Interior Surface
Reduce Heat & Glare
Provides Solar & UV Ray Reduction to Existing Glass
SAFETY & SECURITY FILM
Ground-floor windows and glass entry doors are the easiest way into most homes. Security film bonds to the glass and holds it together, so a window that gets hit does not become an open doorway. It also keeps broken glass from spraying into a room, which matters just as much when the cause is a storm, a stray ball, or a kid who slipped on the patio. Clear film, no change to the view.
Features & Performance:
Virtually Clear Glass Protection
Creates a Safer Area for Loved Ones and Valuables
Helps Hold Glass Together In Case of Breakage
Lower Energy Costs & Reduce Glare with Security Clear View Plus

Perfect for bathrooms, skylights, and more, these durable PET films create unique designs, define spaces, and seamlessly pair with other XPEL films for endless possibilities.
Features & Performance:
Creates a Clean, Decorative Look
Improves Privacy by Limiting Amount of Light Passing Through
Allows for Short to Long Term Use
Black Out Film Eliminates Glare and Blocks Out 100% of Light
OUR INSTALL WARRANTY
The film warranty does not cover a bad install. Ours does. If film peels, lifts, or the craftsmanship is not right, we come back and fix it. No claim form, no waiting on approval from Texas. That one is on us.
10 YEAR XPEL WARRANTY
XPEL covers the film itself against manufacturing defects. Delamination, discoloring, bubbling, adhesive failure. Coverage requires professional installation by a certified installer, which is why the certification on our wall actually matters. We register your warranty at the time of install, so the paperwork is finished before you ever need it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED HOME WINDOW TINTING QUESTIONS
Most homeowners have a few questions before tinting their windows. Here are the ones we hear most. If we missed yours, just ask.
Depending on your needs, window film can have many great features such as UV protection, glare reduction, heat rejection, and privacy.
Window film requires a smooth glass surface to achieve the best install possible. An in-person inspection on older windows is a must.
We offer our manufacturer's warranty which covers any delamination of the film, discoloring of the film, bubbling, or adhesive failure for up to 10 years . Our labor warranty covers peeling of the film or poor craftsmanship. Warranty does not cover against wear and tear such as poor cleaning, scratches, broken window etc.
Pricing will depend on type of film the customer needs, window height/location , and travel time. on average window film can cost $7-$9 sqft and up to $14-$20 for high grade ceramic films.
Some of our films are able to block out up to 55% of total solar energy and 94% of infra red heat, making family rooms more comfortable and lowering the usage of AC. In some cases where windows are not facing the sun, window film may not have a great impact on energy savings besides just aesthetic looks and privacy.
Window tint install time depends on the size of the project and if ladder or scaffold is required for windows located on hard-to-reach areas. Most installs take about 2-3 hours for about 125-160 sqft.
Window film comes in a range of VLT percentages. VLT stands for Visible Light Transmission, and it measures how much light passes through the glass once the film is applied. The lower the number, the darker the film. A 5% film lets only 5% of visible light through.
Before any install, we use a glass thickness gauge to measure your glass and check for Low-E coatings. That tells us which films are compatible with your windows. We also recommend contacting your window manufacturer or contractor to confirm the warranty details on their end.
