COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL WINDOW SERVICES

The more windows there are in your home or business, the greater the benefits of installing window film. That's because tinted windows do much more than simply control heat gain; they also improve the safety, security, energy efficiency and appearance of your building– all at a fraction of the cost of installing special glass. LLumar produces highly superior film to its competitors, and we're happy to tell you why. Here are some of building improvements that makes a noticeable difference both inside and out.

Why Tint Your Building?

  • Save energy in every season.

    • During warmer months, keep heat from getting in. Unlike drapes and blinds, LLumar film rejects up to 79% of the heat that would otherwise come through the window. That can translate into a savings of about one ton of air conditioning for every 100 square feet of glass exposed to sunlight, making your building less expensive to cool.

    • In cooler seasons, tinted windows work to save energy by reflecting heat back into the room. This can reduce heat loss by up to 30%, saving you fuel and improving tenant comfort. In addition, an energy efficient building puts less strain on your heating and cooling system, thus reducing maintenance and extending the life of the equipment.

  • End the thermostat wars and create a comfortable environment for your family or employees. The sunny side of the building is overheating, yet the air conditioning is making the shaded side too cool. Complaints are coming in from both sides of the building and your tenants or your family are dueling with their thermostats. With Llumar film, your building becomes a more comfortable place to live or work. Temperature imbalances are minimized. Glare is reduced. Tenants don't have to squint and strain to view their computer screens.

  • A safer, more private and secure building. LLumar's proprietary adhesive technology bonds tightly to the glass. This helps reduce the dangers associated with breakage. In the event of severe weather, earthquakes, explosions, fires or vandalism, this can significantly reduce injuries due to flying glass. Where the potential for breakage is particularly high, we recommend extra tough LLumar Magnum Safety and Security Films. Penetration and tear resistance also makes Llumar's Magnum films an excellent choice for improving security, especially on ground floor windows. By making unwanted entry extremely difficult, this film deters burglary without unsightly bars.

  • Protect your furnishings from fading and reduce glare. The sun's ultraviolet rays are a major contributor to fading. Carpeting, paneling, desks, drapes and upholstered furniture represent a sizable investment that can quickly lose value when damaged by prolonged exposure to the sun. Tinted windows screens out up to 99% of those harmful rays, therefore fading is considerably reduced and your investment in furnishings is better protected.

  • Keep up your building’s attractive appearance. Viewed from the outside, tinted windows give your building a clean, contemporary appearance and provides you with an economical way to make your building more attractive and more valuable. LLumar Magnum Graffiti Film offers a complete surface protection system for windows and surfaces that are vulnerable to damage. Made with layers of polyester film bonded by special adhesives and impregnated with ultraviolet inhibitors, Graffiti Film offers protection against graffiti vandals, glass-taggers, and smash-and-grab robbers. LLumar Magnum also comes with a patented crystal clear scratch-resistant coating. The thickness of the films helps stop the glass from being defaced. Plus, it allows a care-free maintenance because, unlike other films, LLumar can be cleaned with everyday household window cleaning solutions.

Since there is a complete selection of films that vary in color, density, and heat rejection qualities, we can show you a film that offers your building the ideal balance of aesthetic and performance characteristics.

Our Assurance

Sunset Tint has been in business since 1991, and we've developed our techniques for the cleanest applications possible. Film is a very fragile material– easily creased and wrinkled. Simple things such as knowing how to handle the film can only come with experience. Llumar installations are only performed by factory trained professionals, which is what Sunset Tint's employees are. We'll perform the job within an accurately estimated time period, with a minimum of disruption. Once installed, our window films carry a factory-backed warranty supported by our worldwide dealer/installer network.

Experience comes with time. Experience also determines how well the film is cut to fit to the window. There will be a certain amount of space (gap) between the edge of the film and the window seal. A crooked or large gap is very unappealing. We've developed our techniques over the years on every type of window seal, to give the most appealing finish possible.

We eliminate as much contamination as possible. Good cleaning techniques and quick smooth application of the film to the window greatly reduce contamination (hair, lint, dust). Contamination is impossible to eliminate completely– it's more of a question of how much you will get. This is where the skill of the installer is matters. An inexperienced installer who struggles with the film is more likely to get contamination and creases. Even on the toughest seals, such as flaking wood frames, our installations are turning out cleaner than what the average company gets with new clean seals.


We use high quality material. We have made a commitment to use only the best metalized films from reputable manufacturers such as LLumar. We could save a lot of money by using cheaper films; we receive solicitations all the time from companies offering films at much lower prices. This might be very tempting this to "fly by night" companies. But since we are in this for the long haul, this means doing it right the first time.


We care about workmanship. Remember, a good tint job requires both quality film and quality workmanship: it's not just a question of what you put on, but how it's put on. At Sunset Tint, our application methods are at the industry forefront. Getting a top quality film is a waste if it's not applied by an expert. Plus, all LLumar films are backed by a full manufacturer's warranty from CPFilms Inc., the world leader in protective window films
