Krayco Window Treatments

  • What are the benefits of residential window tinting?

    Residential window tinting provides multiple advantages. It enhances energy efficiency by reducing solar heat gain, potentially lowering cooling costs. The film blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your family and preventing furniture fading. It also improves comfort by reducing glare, offers daytime privacy, and can enhance safety by holding shattered glass together in case of accidents or break-ins.
  • Will the tint make my home too dark?

    Not necessarily. We offer a wide range of window films with varying levels of visible light transmittance. You can select a film that effectively blocks heat and UV rays without significantly darkening your interior spaces. Many modern films are nearly transparent or have a very subtle tint, allowing you to enjoy the benefits without compromising natural light.
  • How long does residential window film last?

    With proper installation and maintenance, residential window film can remain effective for 15 to 20 years or more. Most reputable manufacturers provide warranties that cover issues such as bubbling, peeling, or cracking, giving you peace of mind about your investment.
  • Can I install window film myself?

    While do-it-yourself kits are available, we strongly recommend professional installation. Our experienced technicians have the necessary skills and tools to ensure a flawless, bubble-free application that will last. We can also assist you in selecting the most suitable film for your specific requirements, ensuring optimal results.
  • Does window film void my window warranty?

    In most cases, it does not. We work with reputable film manufacturers who have established relationships with window producers. Their films are typically tested and approved for use on specific glass types without invalidating the warranty. We advise discussing this during consultation to ensure we select a film that's compatible with your windows.
  • Why should a business consider commercial window tinting?

    Commercial window tinting offers numerous benefits for businesses. It significantly improves energy efficiency, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs. It enhances employee comfort by minimizing glare and hot spots, which can boost productivity. The film protects interior assets from UV damage, improves building security, and can contribute to a more professional aesthetic. Some films can even be customized for branding or decorative purposes.
  • Are there different types of commercial window films?

    Yes, we offer a variety of commercial window films to address different business needs. These include solar control films for heat and glare reduction, security films for improved safety, privacy films for creating secluded spaces, decorative films for aesthetic enhancements, and anti-graffiti films to protect against vandalism. Each type is designed to meet specific requirements in commercial settings.
  • How is commercial tinting different from residential tinting?

    While the fundamental technology is similar, commercial tinting often involves larger surfaces and higher-traffic areas. The products and installation techniques may differ to accommodate various glass types and building codes. Commercial projects typically require more extensive planning and professional project management due to their larger scale and complexity.
  • How is the installation process for a commercial building?

    Our commercial installation process begins with a thorough assessment of your needs, followed by recommending the most suitable film. The installation involves meticulous cleaning of the windows, precise application of the film using a specialized solution, and careful removal of excess liquid and air bubbles. For larger commercial properties, we often schedule the installation in phases to minimize disruption to your business operations.
  • Does commercial window film require special maintenance?

    Commercial window film maintenance is straightforward. Regular cleaning can be done using a soft cloth and a non-abrasive, ammonia-free glass cleaner. We advise against using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as these can potentially damage the film. With proper care, your commercial window film will maintain its effectiveness and appearance for years to come.
