Window filming is the process of applying a thin film to the interior or exterior of a window in order to reduce the amount of sunlight, heat, and glare that enters the building. Window film can be applied to the windows of both commercial and residential properties.
Some of the main benefits of window film include reducing glare and heat gain, improving energy efficiency, protecting interior finishes and furnishings from fading, enhancing the appearance of the building, and providing privacy and security.
There are several different types of window film available, including ceramic films, spectrally selective films, reflective films, opaque frost films, designer films, and security/anti-graffiti films. Each type has its own unique properties and can be used to achieve different effects.
The cost of window film will depend on a number of factors, including the size and type of windows being filmed, the type of film being used, and the complexity of the job. In general, window film can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on these factors.
In most cases, window film can be removed from windows, although the process can be difficult and may cause damage to the glass if not done professionally. It is generally best to leave window filming to professional window filmers who have the necessary equipment and expertise to remove the film safely and effectively.
Our interior window films have a lifetime warranty for residential application and between 10 and 15 years for commercial installation depending on film choice. Our exterior films have a warranty between 3 years and 15 years for both commercial and residential films depending on orientation of the glass and film choice. We find that most interior films are generally replaced every15-25 years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic etc.
Window film can generally be applied to any type of window, although some types of windows may be more challenging than others. Contact us to determine the feasibility of installing film on a particular window.

Residential Project
Llumar V33 Film

Residential Project

Client had a large glass roll door that would get hit with intense sun all day and was making it very difficult for the employees to work comfortably and effectively.

This is one of our most popular films.
