Does home window tinting really reduce energy bills?

Yes! Home window tinting can reduce cooling costs by 30% or more by blocking solar heat before it enters your home. 3M Prestige films reject up to 97% of infrared heat while maintaining natural light.

How much does residential window tinting cost?

Residential window film typically costs $8-14 per square foot installed, depending on film type and window access. Most homes in the South Bay area range from $1,500-4,000 total.

Can you see out of privacy window film at night?

Yes, you can see out at night. However, standard 'one-way' privacy film works differently at night—when interior lights are on and it's dark outside, people can see in. For 24/7 privacy, consider frosted or decorative privacy films.

Does window film damage windows or void warranties?

Professional window film installation does not damage windows when properly matched to your glass type. We assess dual-pane windows before installation. Most film manufacturers offer warranties that match or exceed window manufacturer terms.

How long does residential window film last?

Quality residential window film lasts 15-25 years or more. Our 3M and LLumar films include lifetime residential warranties covering peeling, bubbling, and discoloration.
