Which is why, at Fort Worth Window Film, we know, when it comes to making the decision to buy window film, a looming question for a Fort Worth home or commercial property is always–how much does it cost? Without having even a small idea about the costs associated with window tinting for your home or business, there is no way to calculate a ballpark ROI. That is why we have put together an easy overview of film pricing for your home’s windows. The first step to figuring out what type of film is right for you is figuring out what problems you are looking for film to solve.

Common Problems For Our Commercial Customers Are:

You may be considering window film for one or many of these same problems. Deciding how which one or ones of these issues to solve and to what degree, is the first step in choosing the right film for your individual job. With that in mind, there are 3 factors that are integral to window film pricing.

1. The Cost of The Film

Once you have established which problem or problems apply to your unique situation, your next step in determining price is deciding which film best solves those issues. At Commercial Window Tinting Salt Lake City, we carry over 280 different films for residential, commercial and architectural projects. Those films range anywhere from $4 per square foot to $24 per square foot. That is a pretty wide range so here is an idea of what films cost for specific applications that may apply to your commercial building.

  • Spectrally Selective Films

    $9-18 per square foot

    These films are dyed and the higher quality ones, are dyed too but can also have multiple coating combinations of metals and ceramics. These are for homeowners who wants to reduce utility bills, stop fading or heat and cold exchange. The more premium films are almost clear and the most expensive and are great for homes with a view that you want to stay crystal clear.

  • Low E films

    $20-$25+ per square foot

    These films do everything a spectrally selective film does but, also keep heat inside in the winter by reflecting the heat back into the room. They are very premium and made from the high-end materials such as gold--which is why they cost significantly more.

  • Security Films

    $8-16 per square foot

    Basic security film, which is good for most home security applications, keeps glass in place in the event of blunt force on your windows; as such, it is a great way to greatly increase your home's security. It also protects from flying debris in the case of a natural disaster like a tornado. When an object strikes the glass on your home with enough force to break the window, it will crack and maybe shatter, but stay in place. This means no exploding glass to hurt you and your family or intruder able to quickly enter your house. * An attachment system is often required around the edges of security window film. This ensures that when the glass breaks the film stays attached to the frame around the edges. The price of an attachment system for security window film will be $2-5 per linear foot

  • Bullet And Bomb Resistant Film

    $125+ per square foot

    Although the term "bulletproof" is frequently used, no glass is truly bulletproof. However, professionally treated glass on can be very effective at keeping glass intact and intruders out-- even after numerous gunshots are fired into your windows. This type of security glass is offered as a package deal including window replacement, treatment with C Bond and window film application * An attachment system is often required around the edges of security window film. This ensures that when the glass breaks the film stays attached to the frame around the edges. The price of an attachment system for security window film will be $2-5 per linear foot

  • Privacy Or Decorative Film

    $6-$12 per square foot

    Home privacy coating is a great way to keep outside eyes out of your home while enhancing your existing windows beauty. It is relatively inexpensive and will result in all visual protection you need. However, custom options can range higher depending on the graphics and will normally be calculated at an hourly rate to the base price.

2.The Size And Scope Of The Job

Pricing for residential homes is based on a few things– the size of the home, the number of windows and the ease or difficulty of installation. Since our pricing is mostly based on square footage, the more windows you have on your home, the more you will spend on film.

There are other factors that affect the cost of window film for your home:

Location of Windows: Windows that are higher up take longer to install film on.
Size and Shape of Windows: For example, windows made up of smaller French Panes require a premium charge (about $1 extra per pane).
The Job Site Conditions: For instance, if a client requires furniture to be removed or blind taken down then the extra charges will apply for time.

3. The Quality And Warranty Of The Installation

“You pay for what you get” is a phrase that very much applies to window film. A homeowner can expect to pay a little more for the same film from different companies based on the level of customer service they demand or expect. A reputable company, with dedicated project managers and a good reputation, who shows up on time, communicates frequently and gets the job done on time and within budget will usually cost you about $2-$3 p/sft more than a lower priced installer. However, with a cheaper installer, you risk paying more over time in the form of frustration, miscommunication and most importantly–improperly installed window film that chips, peels or cracks and does not qualify for the manufacturer’s warranty. The more expensive films, by higher end manufacturers, tend to carry longer, more inclusive warranties BUT they must be installed by brand certified technician to qualify.
