Residential Window Tinting Sydney

Yes. Residential window tinting helps reduce heat inside your home by blocking the heat from penetrating through your windows. Some advanced window films have the ability to block close to 90% of the heat while still allowing natural light to go through. Reducing the amount of heat that goes inside also means less usage of the air conditioning system resulting in lower electricity bills.

This depends on the quality of the film applied to the window. Premium Film Suppliers like Solar Gard provide from 10 years to lifetime warranty on all residential window tinting installations. This means that our films can last for a very long time without losing their properties and become subject to discoloration like cheap films you can buy from the market.

There are several financial benefits apart from the privacy and glare reduction properties associated with home window tinting. By blocking the heat, window tinting helps reducing the air conditioning running time resulting in a reduction in your energy bills. Also most modern window films block more than 99% of UV rays that are responsible for damaging and discoloring furniture, floors and curtains.

The privacy in window films comes from the darkness of the film itself. This is also known as VLT (Visible Light Transmission). The best window film for privacy is the one with the lowest VLT. The darkest for example is 5%, and you can go as light as 60 or 70%.

If you live in an apartment or a strata-titled townhouse, most buildings need approval first, because tint can change how the building looks from outside. Low-reflective films are the easiest to get approved, and we can supply film data sheets for your application. Renters need the landlord’s permission.

Usually, yes. The film goes on the inside of the inner pane, but it has to be checked for compatibility with your glass, especially Low-E double glazing, to avoid thermal stress cracking. We check this before we quote.

It depends on how many windows and how large they are. A few rooms can be done in a few hours, while a whole house with large sliding doors may take a full day. We give you a time estimate with your quote.

Wait about 30 days before cleaning the tinted side, so the film can fully cure. After that, use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. The outside of the glass can be cleaned as normal.

Yes window tinting can reduce energy bills by keeping the heat outside in the summer times, and keeping the cold outside in winter times, which results in less usage of cooling and heating systems and reducing the total energy bill by 10 to 20% all year long.
