Residential &
Commercial Tint

Not at all. We offer a wide range of shades, from virtually clear films that block heat and UV rays to darker options for glare reduction. Modern nano-ceramic films can block up to 98% of heat while letting in plenty of natural light, preserving your views.

XPEL window films block 99.9% of harmful UV rays, which are the primary cause of fading. By also reducing heat and visible light, our films significantly extend the life of your flooring, furniture, artwork, and curtains.

Yes. By rejecting solar heat in the summer and insulating your windows in the winter, window film can lower cooling costs by up to 30%. It reduces the load on your HVAC system, prolonging its life and improving overall energy efficiency.

Most likely, yes. Our films are safe for double-pane (IGU) and Low-E windows. However, we always conduct a glass checklist during our consultation to ensure the film is compatible with your specific glass type to prevent thermal stress or breakage.

It depends on the scope of the project. A standard home living room might take half a day, while a large commercial office could take several days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine or business operations.

No. Our installers are professional and respectful of your space. We use drop cloths, wear shoe covers, and clean up thoroughly after the job. The installation process uses a mild soap and water solution, so there are no harsh chemicals or odors.

Wait 30 days after installation to allow the film to fully cure. Then, clean your windows as usual using a soft microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free glass cleaner (or mild soap and water). Avoid abrasive scrubbers or blades.

XPEL offers a comprehensive lifetime manufacturer warranty for residential installations against bubbling, peeling, cracking, and delaminating. Commercial installations typically come with a 10-15 year warranty depending on the specific film selected.

Reflective films provide excellent daytime privacy (you can see out, they can't see in). However, at night when lights are on inside, the effect reverses. For 24/7 privacy, we recommend frosted or decorative films, or combining film with window treatments.

Safety and security films are designed to hold shattered glass together, making it much harder for intruders to break through. While no film makes glass unbreakable, it adds a significant delay and deterrent, protecting occupants from flying glass shards.
