Window Tint Pricing Depends On Problem Are You Looking To Solve
Needs for window film always vary from customer to customer, but an excellent way to figure out which film is best for your needs is to figure out which problem or set of issues you are trying to solve with window film. This guide will start by pointing to which film suits you, which will help you estimate pricing.

The Building Is Too Hot In The Summer
The Building Is Too Hot In The Winter

Window Film Pricing Depends On Which Product You Choose
Once you have established the problem or problems that apply to your unique situation, your next step in determining price is deciding which window film best solves those issues. At Beverly Hills Window Film, we carry hundreds of films for residential, commercial, and architectural applications. Those films cost anywhere from $4 per square foot to $24 per square foot. We understand this is a wide range, so below is an outline of what films cost for specific problem-solving applications.
Spectrally Selective
Price: $9- $18 per square foot
Utility: Spectrally Selective films are very light in color but can block heat transfer and UV rays. These films are great for most of the problems associated with the glare of the sun and energy efficiency without darkening a room, allowing you to benefit from window tint without sacrificing clarity.
Low E Films
Price: 20-$24 per square foot
Utility: These films solve all the problems associated with the sun, including glare, heat transfer, and UV rays, but also keep heat inside in the winter by reflecting the heat into the room. These films are very high-end and use materials such as gold to offer the most protection from the sun and energy efficiency that money can buy. Therefore, they are priced accordingly.
Security Films
Price: $8-16 per square foot
Utility: Security film keeps the glass in place and protects against blunt force on the windows on your properties. This type of film mitigates the impact of “smash and grabs” since it takes significantly longer to get into a window treated with film. It also protects people in and around your building from flying glass debris. Should the window be hit with extreme force, the glass will break but stay in place.
Bullet Resistant Film
Price: $125 per square foot
Utility: Many people ask us about “bulletproof glass”. While there is no such thing as truly “bulletproof glass” (any glass can be penetrated given enough time and a high enough caliber bullet), we offer a package that includes treatment with C bond adhesive and film, which makes glass virtually impenetrable to bullets and bombs.
*Please note: Security films require the addition of specialty framing around each treated window. These frames are typically priced by the linear foot and range from $2-5 per linear foot.
Privacy and Decorative Film
Price: $6-$12 per square foot
Utility: Decorative or Frosted window films are a great way to add private or semi-private office space to your property. Custom graphics and logos are available at an additional charge, which is usually added at an hourly rate to the base price.
Graffiti Shields For Metal, Glass, And Mirrors
Price: $10-$20 per square foot
Utility: These ultra-thin but super tough films and covers cover almost any flat surface on your building to cover and protect from graffiti. Should damage occur, they can be easily removed and replaced for a fraction of the cost of replacing windows, mirrors, or elevator panels, for example.
Window Film Pricing Depends On Your Building Or Home’s Structure
The price of window tinting is significantly influenced by the size or scope of your project and the ease or difficulty of the installation. Features like irregularly shaped windows or windows that are hard to reach could require a per-window upcharge. Also, extra charges will likely apply if you need furniture to be moved or blinds taken down; however, if you have a large project, we often offer bulk discounts, saving you a fair amount of money. Consider this possible discount when comparing our prices to those of other installers.
Window Tint Pricing Depends On The Quality Of Service And Warranty
Some of the less tangible but genuine considerations when pricing out window film are the reliability and experience of the installer–i.e., the quality of services. The best window film companies have a proven track record. This means they show up on time, have courteous, trustworthy crews, and have a professional demeanor that makes them easy to work with. Like Beverly Hills Window Film, these companies will always have $2-3 per foot built into their pricing. Yes, it may appear to be an “extra cost,” but in the long run, it saves you the money, time, and frustration that comes with dealing with a poor quality or lengthy install. Also, Remember that more expensive films by higher-end manufacturers tend to carry longer, more inclusive warranties.
