Testimonials

Our Customers Love Our Services and Support

I love my windows even more. I appreciate the professionalism and their impeccable care for detail. I noticed immediately the change in coolness. Where my floors were hot from the sun are now pretty much the same temperature as where the sun doesn’t hit. On another note these young men are hard working, pleasant, well mannered, honest and respectable. Their mamas raised them well. They showed great care for our property and cleaned up after themselves as I would myself. I would highly recommend them and am thankful for the product and their conscientious care.

Kim Heddon

Had two professional gentlemen out to our home today. They installed film on my large windows and glass doors. Some of the windows were quite high but they managed the difficulty with ease. They arrived as scheduled and treated our home with care and respect. We anticipate having them do some additional work for us. We are looking forward to not worrying about our floors and furniture being bleached by the strong rays of the sun. In addition we are looking forward to enjoying the benefits of being able to see our TV screen on sunny days as well as the heating / cooling benefits. Thanks for answering all our questions and helpful advice making our home more comfortable.

Larry Goodman

Typically the temp in my house has been set to 23C / 74F. This left the upstairs temp at 28C / 82F. Once the 3M film was installed upstairs, the temp upstairs never rose above 24C / 75F which is only 1 degree higher than the house setting. Not only the advantage of the product - the installation was done with exceptional quality and very personable installers. Great company to work with and great product as well - what more can you ask for.

Kevin Smith

Came to give a quote without wait. The job was done meticulously. Ash was hard at work making sure everything was perfect. This was the second job. I did all my south facing windows. You could feel the difference immediately. I would suggest it to anyone with South or West facing windows. Why block your view with window blinds when you can have window film installed?

Marie-helene Gagnon

We needed our south facing windows tinted on our new home to block out the heat coming in. Amazing product and excellent service. Dan is a fantastic installer and great guy! The final result is incredible! So glad we decided to get this done. Helps save on the AC running overtime. 100% would recommend to anyone!

Steven Day

We had a semi-circle window covered to block light from entering a bedroom. It worked better than blinds due to the shape - no gaps for light to enter. It will keep the room dark and cool, but the outside aesthetic of the house is still good. Wonderful professional group of people. On time, on budget.

Marie Schmidt

I found Urban Window Films to be a reputable company that does high-quality work. They were very responsive on the quote and getting the work scheduled. Their work was good quality, and they were quick and cleaned up well afterward. The windows look great. I would recommend them to anyone.

Bill Mcgoey

Urban Window films completely transformed our house. We previously had totally clear windows which offered zero privacy day or night, and no heat control. Dan's expertise allowed us to not only select the correct product, but we came in under budget - allowing us to do the entire house! We LOVE the increased privacy. The "HD" look our glass now has from the inside out is like having a great pair of sunglasses for the house. The 3M product's incredible warranty makes us know our investment is safe.

TanktheRam

Professional company! Highly recommend and straight forward to book with. Thank you for getting the job done right and on time as originally scheduled. Wendy has been easy to work with and accommodating to a last minute addition to the original job.

Pat Miazga

Had the pleasure of dealing with Dan on some tinting that was required for our home. He was very knowledgeable and great to deal with. The installation was well done and we are extremely happy with the end result. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend others to Urban Window Films.

Brian Burton

Had a beautiful experience with Urban windows. Right on time. Very polite, helped me in removing the heavy furniture. Totally hassle-free. Would strongly recommend them.

Laggan Singh

We are very pleased with the work, excellent all the way through. My husband is a tradesman and he was very impressed with the installers and their work. We will gladly recommend them. 5 stars throughout.

Stephen Alderson

Dan came out on time for our appointment. Measured the windows, gave us more information on the window film product for application. We made an appointment date for installation. Dan was here again on time, installed the film to the windows, no problem, no worries. Very professional, thanks Unban Window Films and thanks Dan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to apply window film?

The majority of window film installations are completed within the same day. However, for larger projects or installations with specialized needs, the process may extend over multiple days. We strive to complete the work efficiently while ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship.

Does window film harm houseplants?

Low-light plants that thrive in indirect sunlight or low-light conditions—will generally not be affected by window film. High-light plants, which require intense sunlight for photosynthesis, can benefit from a more carefully selected film. Window film that reduces heat and UV exposure, which may actually support healthier growth. While a higher-performance film blocks harmful UV rays and significantly reduces heat, it generally does not hinder the vital light plants need for photosynthesis.

Will window film make my home darker?

Window film comes in a wide range of shades, from nearly clear to darkly tinted. For those looking to block UV rays or heat without affecting the natural light in a space, there are options that provide significant protection without darkening your windows. If glare reduction is a concern, a specialized film designed to reduce brightness may be chosen, which will also maintain a comfortable light level in the room.
