Need Impact Resistant Residential Window Tint

[Phoenix Rising]

What is the name of the product he installed? Can you direct us to a web site to find out about the impact resistance rating? It sounds fabulous.

Here is a link to the products that Steve carries. 3m is top rated for it's widow films.

I just wanted to follow up and say that I had the tinted, impact-resistant window film installed last week by Steve Cobucci of SC Designing Inc. Steve was incredibly personable as well as professional. My windows look great and my house is much cooler. I highly recommend Steve and his product.

Good info PR..what was the price per window? We are looking at having this done at our home. Thanks

Please note that they only promise to keep shards of broken glass contained and help keep water out.

They do not claim to stop projectiles or help keep your windows from breaking (though I think it would definitely help and 3M makes great products that often do more than they claim they do).

Many homes built in this area (before the new codes went into effect) were structurally engineered for "internal pressure" meaning the non-rated windows would blow out and preserve the overall structure of your home. An applied film will not prevent this.

I have 23 windows, three skylights, and four sets of french doors. The total came to $3450.

Steve represented the film exactly as you have. I have hurricane shutters to stop projectiles. I got this specifically to help with heat, and in the event a window does break, it doesn't shatter all over the floor and onto my two-year-old. It also makes it harder for a burgler to break a window and gain entry either by climbing through, or reaching in to unlock a deadbolt on my french doors.
