Home Window Tinting
For Cooler,
Comfortable Living.

Yes. Solar control window film is designed to reduce the amount of solar heat passing through your glass, helping rooms feel cooler and more comfortable. This can be particularly useful for large windows, west-facing rooms and areas that receive strong afternoon sun. By reducing heat gain, window film may also lessen the demand on your air conditioning.

Selected 3M window films can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, depending on the product chosen. UV protection can help reduce one of the major causes of fading and deterioration affecting flooring, furniture, curtains, artwork and other interior finishes. Window film cannot completely prevent fading, as heat, visible light and other factors can also contribute.

Not necessarily. Modern residential window films are available in a wide range of shades, including virtually clear options that provide heat and UV protection while allowing natural light into your home. Our team can show you different samples and help you choose a film that balances comfort, appearance and your preferred level of natural light.

Privacy film can make it more difficult to see into your home during daylight when the outside is brighter than the inside. However, reflective privacy films do not provide the same level of privacy at night when your interior lights are on. Frosted or decorative films are a better option when consistent day and night privacy is required.

The cost and installation time depend on the number and size of the windows, access requirements, the type of glass and the window film selected. Before recommending a product, our team can assess your windows, discuss what you want to achieve and provide an accurate quote. Many residential installations can be completed within one day, while larger or more complex projects may take longer.

Selected 3M residential window films are supported by manufacturer warranties, including lifetime warranties on eligible products and applications. Warranty periods vary depending on the film, glass type and installation. Your Total Tint Solutions installer will explain the warranty available for your selected product. Terms and conditions apply.
