Our Leading Solar Film
SoCal Window Tinting
There is a reason the Professional line accounts for the majority of our installations here in Southern California. Ceramic based window film solves the specific problems our clients deal with every day … intense heat, uncomfortable glare, and fading interiors … without making your home feel dark or your glass look like a mirror. We were among the first installers to bring ceramic film to the Los Angeles market back in 2001, and it remains our most recommended solution to this day.
Our preferred brands in this category are Solar Gard including their Panorama ceramic series, and Huper Optik, the original manufacturer of ceramic window film technology developed in Germany. These are not entry level products … they carry some of the strongest warranties in the industry and consistently outperform expectations year after year.
To address the issues around high interior reflection that affect nighttime visibility, manufacturers developed two standout technologies … dual reflective and non-reflective ceramic. Unlike earlier generations of window tinting that were prone to bubbling and discoloring, our professional grade films are built to last. Every product we install at this level comes backed by a strong manufacturer warranty that covers both the film and your glass.
Huper Optik’s patented 2-ply ceramic window film technology lets you experience a crystal ClearView. Huper’s 2-ply ceramic maintains low reflectance on both sides of the glass surface without sacrificing performance. This original ceramic technology has always been a favorite with our oceanfront customers because ceramic is an inert technology … it will not corrode like most metal based products.
The benefit of this patented ceramic window film is the ability to naturally preserve your nighttime view. Beware of imitators! Check out our blog on ceramic window tint or call us at (310) 372-5357 for more information.
Dual Reflective Window Film technology refers to the difference of reflectivity This is important because these films reflect less towards the interior side of the window. The benefit is you see through your treated glass much better at night time. Dual-Reflective Films are preferred by both residential customers and business owners because of the additional benefit of a better night view but with nearly the same results of the more efficient traditional reflective window films. Dual Reflective films are often referred to as “two-way-mirrored-films“. During the day it’s possible to provide privacy while looking inside your building, but you are able to clearly see out. As well as having great aesthetics, these films are priced favorably for nearly any budget.
From Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach down through Huntington Beach and Newport Coast, South Bay and Orange County homeowners deal with a combination of intense afternoon sun, salt air, and coastal glare that most inland properties never experience. Our nano-ceramic films reject up to 80% of solar heat at the glass … keeping rooms cooler, reducing the load on your AC, and stopping UV damage to floors, furniture, and artwork before it starts.
CSI was the first company in Los Angeles to introduce ceramic window film technology. We’ve been installing it on South Bay and Orange County properties since 2001 … longer than most of our competitors have been in business. Call us at (310) 372-5357 to schedule a free on-site consultation.
Professional solar film for commercial properties isn’t just about comfort … it’s about performance and operating costs. Law offices, medical suites, retail storefronts, and restaurant dining rooms throughout Los Angeles and Orange County have used our dual reflective and ceramic products to cut screen glare, reduce HVAC load, and maintain a clean appearance from the street.
We’ve completed commercial projects in Torrance, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, and across the South Bay corridor … and we bring the same attention to detail to every job regardless of size. For a free on-site commercial consultation call us at (310) 372-5357.
Our professional Panorama PremierPlus films from Saint-Gobain Solar Gard come with a lifetime warranty for residential installations … covering the original homeowner for as long as they own the property. Commercial installations are covered for 16 years from the date of completion. The warranty covers adhesive failure, bubbling, cracking, delamination, peeling, and unusual color change. It also includes a 10-year glass breakage warranty and insulated glass unit seal failure coverage for qualified applications.
Yes, for residential installations the Panorama PremierPlus warranty is transferable. The new owner receives 5 years of coverage from the date they take ownership of the residence. To transfer, the new owner has 60 days from closing to submit the PremierPlus Residential Transfer Form at solargard.com/warranties. Note that the glass breakage and insulated glass unit coverage portions are not transferable … only the film performance warranty carries over to the new owner. Commercial warranties are not transferable under any circumstance.
Professional grade films use more advanced construction … typically dual reflective or multi-ply ceramic technology. They perform better in harsh coastal environments, hold up longer without fading or discoloring, and carry a significantly stronger warranty. Standard films handle lower demand applications just fine, but for South Bay and Orange County homes or commercial buildings with serious sun exposure, professional grade is almost always the better long-term investment.
Not with the right product like our original ceramic-based Huper Optik solar films and other options we offer. We carry professional grade solar film products ranging from nearly invisible to moderately tinted … and during your free consultation we bring product samples and professional meters so you can see exactly what each film looks like on your glass before you decide.
Absolutely … commercial work is a significant part of what we do. We’ve installed professional solar film in office buildings, retail spaces, medical offices, and restaurants throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. Call us at (310) 372-5357 for a free on-site commercial consultation.
