Eliminates hot spots, cuts glare on screens and blocks 99% of UV while keeping natural light. A warmer winter too: it reduces heat loss in cold weather.
XPEL VISION film makes any building more comfortable, private and secure — cut heat and glare, strengthen glass, or add style.

Solar, security or decorative. Every room has a film for it.

Eliminates hot spots, cuts glare on screens and blocks 99% of UV while keeping natural light. A warmer winter too: it reduces heat loss in cold weather.

Layers of film hold glass fragments together and make windows harder to break, giving more time for help to arrive.

Frosted, patterned and one-way films give seclusion without losing the light. Often cheaper over time than blinds.

Installation, curing, warranty and the details people ask about.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where is the film installed? | Usually on the inside of the glass, where it is protected from weather. |
| How long does the install take? | Most homes and offices are done in a day. Installers protect surrounding areas and clean up afterwards. |
| Cure time | Typically a few days up to two weeks. Warm, sunny conditions speed curing; cool or humid weather slows it. |
| Warranty | Up to ten years against defects in material and workmanship with professional installation and proper maintenance. |
| Yellowing | XPEL VISION films are engineered to resist yellowing and keep their color under years of sun. |
| One-way privacy | Daytime privacy: you see out, they cannot see in. At night with interior lights on the effect reverses or fades, so use curtains or blinds if you need full night privacy. |
| Energy | Reduces heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, which helps keep temperatures stable and can lower energy bills. |
| Glass types | Most standard residential and commercial glass can be filmed. We check your windows on site or from photos. |
Spectrally selective film targets infrared heat and ultraviolet rays while letting daylight in. The room stays comfortable, so the A/C runs less.
Protects people, floors, furniture, art and fabrics from fading caused by direct heat and sunlight.
Cuts glare on TVs, monitors and desks without making rooms dark.
XPEL VISION Clear View Plus 70 blocks about 87% of infrared heat, 55% of solar energy and 99% of UV, and still looks nearly clear.
XPEL’s all-season film rejects solar heat in warm weather and keeps heat in during cooler months.
Film holds glass fragments together when glass breaks. Thicker film gives more impact and forced-entry resistance and helps delay a break-in.
Sacrificial film protects glass on storefronts from scratches and graffiti and is replaced instead of the glass.
White Frost, Dusted Crystal and patterned films add seclusion and style for bathrooms, entries and meeting rooms.
Dotted film makes glass visible to birds and helps prevent collisions.
Film can cost less than blinds over time through energy savings and UV protection, and it keeps the view.
