Walk-through first
Every job starts with us on-site, walking your glass in person so the spec matches the building.
Specified per pane
We don't put the same film on every window. Each pane gets matched to orientation, glass type, and what you need it to do.
One crew, start to finish
The team that surveys your glass is the team that installs the film. No handoffs, no subcontractors.
What clients ask about privacy tints.
What's the difference between a privacy tint and a reflective film?
+
Reflective films use a metalized or dielectric surface to bounce sunlight back, which is what gives them their mirror effect from outside. Privacy tints are non-reflective ceramic or dyed films that get their privacy from low visible light transmission, not reflectance. From inside you get a clean, natural view. From outside, low VLT makes the glass read as dark.
Will a dark tint make my rooms feel gloomy?
+
Not if it's specified correctly. The ceramic products we install at 30 to 35% VLT cut glare and heat without reading as dark inside. For bedrooms and media rooms where the client specifically wants a deeper look, we go to 15 or 20% VLT.
Do privacy tints still give privacy at night?
+
No architectural film is truly one-way. Privacy tints work in daylight when the exterior is brighter than the interior. At night with interior lights on, the visibility flips. For night-time privacy we specify a reflective or a blackout decorative film, or we pair the tint with shades.
Will it interfere with low-e or impact glass?
+
Not at the ceramic specifications we default to. Non-metalized ceramic films are rated for low-e and laminated impact glazing without thermal-stress risk. We confirm the pane spec during the site survey before recommending a VLT.
