Window tint can help keep your home cooler and your furniture from fading, but did you know that there are different types of window tint available? More of that later
Window tint also blocks out UV radiation, which can damage your furnishings, cause skin cancer and degrade your eyesight.
At Film Stars, we specialize in helping customers find the perfect window tint for their needs. We offer a wide variety of products to choose from.
We understand that not everyone is familiar with the different types of window tint, so we're happy to show you samples to help you make the right decision for your home.
If glare is your main concern, then we recommend choosing a film that filters out a significant amount of light. Our films reduce glare by up to 95%, making it easier to see your computer or TV screen.
We also offer reflective films that reject heat, making it the perfect choice for those who live in warm climates. Reflective films come in a variety of colors, so you can choose the one that best suits your decor.
All of our window tints come with a five-year warranty, and most last between 15 and 20 years depending on their exposure to the sun. So if you're looking for a long-term solution to your cooling and glare problems, tint your windows.
There are various types of tint which cut out varying amounts of solar radiation
Tint is graded according to 3 Measurements
You should never work on price alone. A dark tint which does not reject heat and is cheaper looks more effective than a light tint that rejects a lot of heat.
If you want to keep your house cool you should install a heat rejecting film such as Siver reflective film, which is the cheapest film that rejects about 80% of the infra red, or heat, radiation.

Unfortunately, many Bodies corporate (or is it Body corporates) do not allow reflective window film, so if you live in a gated community, you shoud always check first.
There are many other films that reject a high percentage of infra red , but they tend to be more expensive. Watch this video of us putting a light, heat rejecting tint on the windows of a spectacular house in Umdloti. We have not been back to Umdloti since the floods, so we hope it is still there.
The client wanted protection from heat and UV radiation, but did not want to obscure his magnificent vew of the ocean.

The joint in the film is necessary when the window is very big
The tint does not alter the view although it cuts out 80 % of the heat
Normal film will keep the glass together if it breaks, but we can provide SMASH AND GRAB film for extra protection. Please remember that this film does not prevent the glass from being broken. It holds it together after it is broken.
This is a normal tint. The window was broken by a large bird flying into it, but the glass held togther
This is a 35% tint applied to glass sliding doors in a house in Zinkwazi. Notice that the interior of the house is still visible. The percentage refers to the amount of light let through, so the lower the percentage, the less light gets through
This is a 35% tint looking out from a house in Cotswold Downs in Hillcrest.
This is a 20% tint applied to a house in La Lucia. The window on the left had not been done yet. Note that you cannot see through the windows. When it is dark outside and there is a light on inside,you can see in. This applies to all tints
