How an install job runs
- Measure. Send photos and rough sizes for a price, or we measure on site.
- Pick the film. We bring samples, or you order a $12 sample pack first.
- Cut and print. Every piece is cut to your panes, and perf and logo film print in our shop.
- Install. Clean, wet-apply, squeegee and trim with a 1/16″ edge gap. A typical home takes a few hours.

Window film and Chicago weather
West-facing condos and storefronts get hit with summer heat and low winter sun straight through the glass, and reflective solar film helps with both. Condo buildings often regulate how windows look from outside, so check with your association before reflective film goes up. Film reduces heat coming in but doesn't insulate against winter cold. In winter we install when the glass is above freezing so the application water can dry.
