How Much Does Window Film Cost?

Window film is the best alternative to curtains and blinds and even a substitute for tempered glass. It is also a less expensive and longer-term solution that comes with a host of additional benefits beyond sun control. For instance, all of the window tints we offer provide increased home protection. However, what should really make window film an option to consider for your Kansas City home is how very cost-effective it is.Ā Ā 

What is the Average Cost of Window Film?

The average price of window film is relatively low–about $5 to $15 per square foot depending on the function. This means a typical Kansas City homeowner will spend less than $1000 to have installed (*based on 1000 sq/ft home). Some more specialized films are more expensive but overall the cost will be significantly lower than replacing your windows and more effective than curtains or blinds.
