AZ Solar Control Window Tinting

Yes we all know by now that solar window films benefits just like adding tint to a vehicle it will help cool you down, but to what extent? Is installing window film in your home or office space really worth the time, money and hassle? Is solar window film truly a good investment? To help answer these all too common questions we want to look at the pros and cons of residential and commercial window films.

After comparing the lists of pros and cons, it’s already obvious that the pros outweigh the cons. Truthfully we had to really think about what could be a downside to investing in window film and these were the only three things we could think of. The thing is that if you go with a professional company like AZ Glass Tinting Glass Tinting, most of these concerns listed above can be laid to rest.

In terms of longevity of window films, it really depends on what the product you selected and the environment in which the product is being installed. For instance, “do it yourself” films you can purchase online or in stores like Home Depot do not have lifespans that come close to films professionally manufactured and installed. Like they say, you do get what you pay for. It’s worth investing a little bit more to get film that will last and proper installation. Films that come from professionals like us are high quality and made to last between ten and twenty years. When we install the film, we custom cut it to fit your glass to ensure it’s a near seamless application. We don’t want to leave gaps or areas of weakness where the sun can sneak on in. Additionally most films we install are done on the inside of the glass to escape the elements like wind, rain and direct sunlight. The windows that face the sun may experience more wear and tear than those that do not, but worry not because most films come with lifetime warranties. 


At AZ Glass Tinting we offer warranties on most films that offer protection against such things like peeling, bubbling and discoloration. Keep in mind that if the film is professionally installed these items aren’t likely to bubble or peel in the lifetime of the film. Films these days are made durable and built to last long term. Now eventually they will have to be replaced but you will certainly get your money’s worth out of them considering their lifespan is more than a decade and maybe as long as two! As far as voiding warranties on glass, some customers do worry about losing their glass warranties due to applying window films. The good news is our company offers glass protection on almost all of our installations. Yes that’s right, we will be covering glass breakage on your existing windows with some of our products.
