Prices range from $6 dollars a square foot and $14 dollars a square foot. This is because Window films come in a wide variety of colors, options, and some are specific to the glass they are applied too.

The contractor your hire usually provides you several options to solve your window tinting needs. Usually lighter VLT ( films that allow maximum light) with high heat reducing properties are higher in cost as they contain precious metals and are more expensive to produce while more reflective window films are cheaper and are usually comprised of aluminum and silver metals that are easily sourced.
