We all know how "frugal" I am so I had to get solar screens on this house to keep out that Texas sun. The moment I had the solar screen put on the upper balcony doors for the front bedroom stuck out like a sore thumb. I decided the only way to get a cohesive look was tint. From the yard it looks fantastic. But if you have never installed tint, it is HARD.
Here is the noticeable difference mid installation. I did not like seeing the drapes.
Here is the brand of tint that I used, I got it off Amazon. I love just a click and it is on my door step.
Tint is considerably harder than the window film that I love to use.
Make sure your blade is VERY sharp and on big jobs you may need a second tip. This is a quest bedroom that am only in when cleaning it for company so I can live with the imperfections. But if this was on a window that I had to see all day I would totally have to redo this.
The tint not only gave me the look from the curb that I am after, it also helped keep the heat and sun out of this room without taking away from the view. During the day can't see into that room even if the drapes are open, which is wonderful since that is a bedroom.
Happy tinting.
