Residential Solar Window Film
Most solar films are designed for interior installation in residential settings. However, exterior window films are also available. To determine the best option for your home, consult with a sales representative who can guide you on whether interior or exterior window film suits your needs best.
Absolutely not! Our installation team uses drop cloths to protect your floors, walls, furniture, and artwork from the soap and water solution used during the process. We ensure all debris is cleaned up, leaving your space just as we found it. If you have any concerns, please speak with an operations manager to learn more.
Only a few window films are designed to adhere to plexiglass, as most are made for standard glass. If you’re unsure whether your windows are plexiglass, call our office. We can send a sales representative to your location to confirm and recommend the right solution.
Installing home window tint involves several steps. First, we prepare the area by moving items away from the windows and thoroughly cleaning the glass. Next, we cut the film to size, spray the window with water, and apply the film, ensuring it aligns perfectly. After trimming for a precise fit, we squeegee out any excess water and allow up to 60 days for the film to fully dry. For optimal results, Raydiant Films recommends having a professional handle the installation. Contact a representative to learn more!

Immediately after installation of decorative film, you may notice small pockets of water bubbles in the film. Dont be alarmed, this is completely normal, as the film is installed with a soapy water mix, and it is not possible to squeegee every drop of water from under the film. Over the course of the next 60 days, the residual water will dissipate and evaporate, resulting in a crystal clear finish.
