Scottish Window Tinting came in and put their tinting on all of our hard to reach windows in our living room a couple years ago. They were an amazing company to work with, extremely professional, knowledgeable, willing to answer any questions, kind and courteous.
We just had them come back and do more windows because the first set made such a dramatic impact on the heat in our living room. This time we had the bottom sets of the windows done in the living room (3 total), skipping the north facing windows, two small windows in the dining room, and all the windows in a bedroom that is always hot.
After we had the top set done we could instantly tell a huge difference in heat in our living room since our home has a two story living room area and the top windows have no blinds or coverings. While our lower windows have blinds we could still tell a big difference and we are able to keep them open and let in all that beautiful natural light without having tons of heat pour in as well.
We went with the 70% reduction (the highest and the darkest film) Honestly you can only tell they are tinted in the evenings because they are a little reflective so I'd recommend going with the darkest film to cut the most heat and see the most difference. It sounds a bit scary and it looks dark but once its on the windows its hardly noticeable even when next to others that aren't tinted. The difference in the hot bedroom is dramatic, we never opened the wood blinds but the heat would still come in and be trapped between the window and the blinds. That room has two small west facing windows and one larger 4-pane south facing window.
This time again they sent someone out to measure our windows (we already knew we wanted the matching film) they worked with me to get everything we wanted done within our budget. I had them measure a bunch of different windows and then we ended up taking the north facing ones out of the quote. We also had them give us a quote for the sliding glass patio door which we will do at a later date. Again everyone from the sales guys to the installers were super professional, courteous, kind and amazing to work with. In our bedroom we had lots of furniture they had to work around / climb on because we couldn't move the bed anywhere and they were really sweet about it and took extra care with the furniture. We recommend them to our friends and family all the time because they are a really great company and take care of their clients.
We can't wait to have them do more windows and the sliding door in the future so if you are on the fence just do it, you'll be glad you did! read more
