What drives the price

  • Film type. Basic UV and glare films are cheapest. Ceramic film costs more and Bob Vila puts it at $5 to $10 a square foot.
  • Glass area. Film is priced by the square foot, so big windows and sliding doors cost the most.
  • Security film. Thicker safety films cost more than tint. HomeAdvisor says specialty bullet-resistant films reach $4,200.
  • Window shape. Flat windows are quickest. Curved or odd shapes take more skill.
