I don't remember cost, but made a big difference on their AC bill! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/installing-uv-film-on-windows-at-home#post-2244289 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 16:56:45 +0000 MamaCate 2244289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I don't know if we got uv tinting or not. But for 3 sliding glass doors it was around $475.</p> <p>We got solar screens on the other west facing windows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/installing-uv-film-on-windows-at-home#post-2244230 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:46:12 +0000 mrbee 2244230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: Sometimes tinting can come with UV protection too! I'm curious about all window films, but mostly the ones with UV protection.</p> <p>Do you remember how much it was to install the film on the windows? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/installing-uv-film-on-windows-at-home#post-2244206 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:35:41 +0000 MamaCate 2244206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: do you mean tinting? We had our windows done at both our houses (past/current) and hired a company both times. It looks complicated and I am glad we did not do it ourselves. It makes a big difference in terms of how much heat/sun comes in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/installing-uv-film-on-windows-at-home#post-2244200 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:32:51 +0000 mrbee 2244200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm researching this now, and wondering about costs. They seem to vary a lot for DIY kits vs working with a professional installer. Was wondering if anyone has experience with either option, and how it went for you? </p>
