Home window film is a different product from car tint — engineered for much larger panes and years of continuous sun, not a quick daily commute. It's the fix for the room that's unbearable by mid-afternoon, the floorboards fading in a stripe under the window, or the westerly sun that turns a lounge room into a greenhouse every Tasmanian summer.
What it actually does
- Heat rejection — up to 85% of infrared heat blocked, which shows up as a genuinely cooler room and less air-conditioner running time.
- UV and fade protection — up to 99.9% UV rejection, protecting furniture, floors and artwork from sun damage as much as it protects skin.
- Privacy — daytime privacy from the street without heavy curtains or losing natural light.
- Keeps your view — unlike heavy tint on a car, home film is chosen to be barely noticeable, not to look dark from outside.
How it's priced
Home jobs are quoted per window rather than as a flat rate, since a two-bedroom unit and a five-bedroom house with floor-to-ceiling glass are very different jobs. Tell us roughly how many windows and what's bothering you most (heat, fading, privacy) via the quote form, and we'll follow up with specifics.
What's included
A lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling and discolouration, Black Armor and UltraGard film only (no cheap dyed film), and a proper on-site assessment before any quote is finalised.
Frequently asked questions
How much does home window tinting cost?
It depends on the number and size of windows, so there isn't a single flat price — tell us roughly how many windows and we'll give you an estimate, confirmed properly on site.
Will home window film make my house dark?
No — residential film is chosen for heat and UV rejection first, not darkness. Most home film is barely noticeable from inside; it preserves your view rather than turning windows into mirrors.
Does it actually lower energy bills?
Less heat coming through the glass means your air conditioner runs less over summer. The exact saving depends on your home, but it's a genuine, not marginal, effect on rooms that get direct afternoon sun.
