Window Tinting in Columbus, OH


From downtown condos with floor-to-ceiling glass to century-old homes in German Village and Clintonville, Columbus windows let in a lot of heat, glare, and UV. Professionally installed window film fixes that without replacing a single window.

We install professional-grade architectural window film for homes and businesses. Our own team checks your glass, shows you samples on your windows, and does the install. We tint homes and businesses only, not vehicles.

Architectural window film on glass, installed for homes and businesses in Columbus, OH

Columbus homes

Why Columbus homeowners tint their windows


High-rise and Short North condos take direct afternoon sun with no trees to block it, so living rooms overheat and TVs wash out. In older neighborhoods, original glass and close neighbors make privacy and fading the bigger issues. Ceramic film handles heat and glare, UV film protects floors and furniture, and frosted film adds privacy to bathrooms and entry glass.

Ceramic heat-control film

Cuts solar heat and glare while staying close to clear, so your windows still look like windows.

Frosted privacy film

Privacy day and night that still lets daylight in. Great for bathrooms, entries, and offices.

UV protection film

Blocks the large majority of UV rays to protect floors, furniture, rugs, and artwork from fading.

Businesses

Commercial window tinting in Columbus


Downtown and Short North offices, storefronts, and restaurants use film to cut screen glare, keep lobbies comfortable, and frost conference room glass. We can install before or after business hours.

Pricing

Window tinting cost in Columbus


Rough estimate only. Your final price depends on your glass type, the film you choose, window size, and access. We check your glass and confirm the price at your free on-site visit with a written quote.

Glass safety

We check your glass first


Not every film suits every window. The wrong film on the wrong glass can trap heat and stress the glass or affect a window warranty. Before quoting, we confirm whether each pane is single pane, insulated, low-E, tempered, or older original glass, and match it to a film the manufacturer rates for it.

Common questions

Window tinting questions in Columbus


Can I tint my condo windows in Columbus?

Usually, but many condo associations have rules about how windows look from outside. Check your association’s rules first. Low-reflective ceramic film looks close to clear glass from the street, which makes it the easiest to get approved.

Is window film safe on the original glass in older Columbus homes?

Often, yes, but older glass is exactly why we check every pane before recommending a film. The wrong film can trap heat and stress the glass, so we match the film to your glass type.

How much does window tinting cost in Columbus?

Window film is priced by the square foot, installed. As a rough estimate, frosted privacy film runs about $8–$12 per sq ft, ceramic heat-control film about $9–$14, and security film about $12–$18. Your final price depends on your glass type, the film, window size, and access, and we confirm it at a free on-site visit with a written quote.

Do you tint car windows?

No. We tint homes and businesses only, not vehicles.
