At Film Bros, we believe that a well-designed space isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about optimizing comfort, functionality, and energy efficiency. Our recent project for a homeowner with large, triangular front-facing windows is a testament to how the right architectural window film can completely transform a living space.

This case study takes a deep dive into the problem-solving process, technical details of the film, client experience, the quoting and consultation process, and the long-term benefits of this installation.

The Challenge: Large Front-Facing Windows & Their Hidden Costs

Our client’s home had an architectural design feature that was both striking and problematic: massive triangular windows that spanned the entire front-facing side of the house. These windows, while visually stunning, created several issues that significantly impacted the livability of the space.

Heat Gain & Energy Inefficiency

The biggest concern was the uncontrolled heat gain. These large windows allowed direct sunlight to flood into the home, rapidly increasing indoor temperatures during peak daylight hours. As a result, the homeowner had to rely heavily on air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature. This led to:

Higher energy bills as the cooling system worked overtime
Temperature fluctuations where certain areas of the home became hotter than others
Reduced HVAC lifespan due to excessive use

Harsh Glare

The open-concept layout made the glare from these windows unavoidable. During midday and afternoon hours, the glare was so intense that it disrupted everyday activities, making it difficult to:

Watch TV or use screens without constant reflections
Read or work comfortably in the space
Enjoy the natural light without being overwhelmed by brightness

Privacy Concerns

Because the home had a front-facing open design, passersby and neighbors could easily see inside during the daytime. While curtains and blinds were an option, they would block natural light and compromise the clean, modern aesthetic of the space. The homeowner wanted a solution that maintained visibility from the inside while preventing outsiders from looking in.

The Quoting Process: A Tailored Approach with Tint Wiz

At Film Bros, we never recommend a one-size-fits-all solution. Every home is different, and every client has unique needs. That’s why we start with a free in-person consultation, where we take the time to properly diagnose the issues and provide a tailored solution.

On-Site Assessment & Problem Diagnosis

During the consultation, we thoroughly inspect the home’s window setup, glass type, and environment to:

Understand the client's concerns, whether it's heat, glare, privacy, energy costs, or aesthetics
Identify potential risks, such as glass types that could be prone to thermal stress if the wrong film is applied
Analyze the sun exposure and surroundings to determine which film type will be the most effective

Precise Measurements for Transparent Pricing

Unlike companies that give rough estimates over the phone, we take exact measurements on-site to ensure:

Accurate pricing, so clients know exactly what they’re paying for
Installation precision, so the film fits flawlessly, especially for unique window shapes like triangles

Digital Proposal & Next Steps with Tint Wiz

Before leaving, we compile all the details into a digital proposal using Tint Wiz, an industry-leading quoting and project management app. The proposal includes:

Everything we discussed, from the recommended film options to the benefits of each
A breakdown of the installation process, including preparation, timeline, and what to expect
Clear pricing so there are no surprises
Instructions on how to move forward, making it simple to book the job

This process ensures complete transparency and gives the client confidence in their decision before committing.

The Solution: XPEL Evening View 25 Film – A Smart Upgrade

After assessing the client’s needs, we recommended XPEL Evening View 25, a premium window film engineered to balance heat rejection, glare control, and privacy without compromising aesthetics.

Why XPEL Evening View 25?

This film was chosen because it delivers a combination of benefits tailored to the client’s unique challenges.

Superior heat rejection, blocking up to 50 percent of heat and keeping the indoor temperature consistent
Glare reduction, cutting down harsh reflections and allowing for comfortable screen use and natural light balance
Daytime privacy, with a reflective exterior finish that prevents outsiders from peering in without sacrificing the view from inside
Aesthetic integration that maintains the sleek, modern look of the home, unlike curtains or blinds that could disrupt the design

Installation Process: Precision & Expertise in Action

Our install team, Adam and Josh, executed the project with the attention to detail and efficiency that Film Bros is known for.

We followed a structured installation process, ensuring that every step—from preparation to final quality checks—was completed with precision and care.

Prepped the glass surface for optimal adhesion
Digitally measured and hand-cut the film to fit the triangular windows perfectly
Applied the film seamlessly, eliminating bubbles and ensuring maximum durability
Conducted a post-installation inspection to verify flawless results

The Results: Measurable Improvements & Client Satisfaction

Within hours of installation, the client immediately noticed a difference in the indoor environment.

Heat Reduction & Energy Savings

The home stayed cooler even during peak sunlight hours. The reduced heat gain allowed for lower air conditioning usage, leading to energy savings.

Glare Reduction

The natural light was softened, creating a more comfortable living space without the need for blinds or curtains. The client could now watch TV and use screens without reflections, even during peak sunlight hours.

Enhanced Privacy Without Blocking Views

Outsiders could no longer see inside, while the client maintained full visibility outward. The home retained its modern, open feel without feeling closed off.

Client Feedback

The client was thrilled with the outcome, not just because of the visible transformation, but because of the tangible improvements in comfort, efficiency, and privacy.
