For commercial building we offer installation with using high access equipment such as suspended scaffolding or boom lifts.
Window Type
There are different styles of windows and window combinations. The most common are Multiple Pane, French Style, Skylights, Storefront, double hung, single panel and others.
For example, multi-pane windows will cost more to tinting versus same size window with one or two large glass panes due to time consumption for precut and cleaning of every individual pane.
Cost of Material / Window Film Type / Design
The type and design of window film installation is a large factor in determining the price of how much window tinting in your home or office will cost. For instance, we have a base line of metalized window films that cost less, medium priced ceramic window film and high-end window film lines that cost more. Take also to consideration specialty films such as:
Condition of Your Windows /How dirty are they?
The present condition of your windows are important. Emagine placing a screen protector on your phone while it is still dusty and dirty. The result wouldn’t be satisfying. In here, we are talking about large format window film installation and the final result depends on a clean line of your windows. That is why the more time we estimate to clean your glass the higher the price will be, so try to keep the areas as clean as possible to minimize cost of initial cleaning and preparation.
