RESIDENTIAL SOLAR WINDOW FILMS
Enjoy bright, comfortable rooms without the harsh heat and glare. Spectra Light Window Films installs premium VISTA™ residential solar window film to help keep your home cooler, protect your interiors, and make the most of every window.
Our residential solar film is professionally installed on the inside of your existing glass, giving you the benefits of upgraded windows without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.
WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE RESIDENTIAL SOLAR WINDOW FILM
Cut the Heat, Keep the Views
On sunny days, south and west-facing rooms can quickly become uncomfortable. VISTA™solar window film can reduce solar heat by up to 83%, helping maintain a more consistent temperature throughout your home and easing the workload on your air conditioning.
Unlike heavy curtains or blinds, solar film reduces heat while keeping your natural light and views. You can still enjoy your favourite reading spot or that big picture window without feeling overheated.
Protect Furniture, Flooring & Artwork
Sunlight fades hardwood floors, fabrics, artwork, and decor over time. VISTA™Solar Control Window Film includes a dedicated UV-shielding layer that dramatically slows fading by blocking 99.9% of harmful UV rays.
That means your furniture, area rugs, and cherished pieces keep their colour and finish longer, even in bright, sun-filled rooms.
Reduce Glare, Not Daylight
Glare on your TV or computer screen can make it hard to relax or work in bright rooms. Residential solar window film softens harsh sunlight so you can comfortably watch your shows, work from home, or read without closing all the blinds.
You still get daylight and a connection to the outdoors, but without the eyestrain and reflections.
Comfortable Privacy with a Clear View
Many residential solar films offer daytime privacy from the outside while remaining virtually clear from indoors. Your neighbours and passersby see less, but you still enjoy your view.
Because the film is thin and installed directly on the glass, it doesn’t take up space or collect dust like blinds and drapes.
A Smart Alternative to Window Replacement
Older or less efficient windows can contribute to drafts and higher utility bills. Residential solar window film is a cost-effective way to improve comfort and performance without replacing your glass.
By filtering the sun’s energy before it enters the room, solar control film helps:
- Reduce hot spots and uneven temperatures
- Support your heading and cooling system
- Improve comfort in rooms that were previously too hot to use
Trusted Performance for Your Home
Spectra Light installs VISTA™ residential solar window films, which are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for helping to reduce UV exposure. With up to 1,000 SPEF-equivalent protection, these films offer an added layer of defence against the sun’s damaging rays while you relax at home.
VISTA™ films are engineered for clarity and durability, featuring a highly scratch-resistant coating so you can clean your windows with regular household cleaners, including those with ammonia.
Residential Solar Window Film Warranties
The VISTA™ residential solar window films we install come with the following warranty coverage:
- Lifetime Transferable Residential Warranty at no extra charge
- 5-Year Thermal Shock Warranty
- 3-Year Seal Failure Warranty on qualifying new windows
For a small additional cost, you can upgrade to a Gold Warranty that matches the warranty of your window manufacturer.

FAQ
Not at all; your insurance stays the same, and as long as your film is manufacturer-approved and installed by a professional, your window warranty will remain intact.
Absolutely. If you decide to change your look or renovate, a professional can peel it off without leaving a trace or damaging your glass.
You’ll get the biggest wow factor on south and west-facing windows that bake in the sun, but we can customize film for any side of your house to get the perfect mix of heat and light control.
Hardly any time at all; most jobs wrap up in just a few hours, and since it’s a clean, non-invasive process, you won’t have to worry about a big mess or disrupting your day.
WARRANTY
The VISTA™ products we install come with a great warranty. There is a no-charge Lifetime Transferable Residential Warranty, 5-year Thermal Shock Warranty, and 3-year Seal Failure Warranty (the last one being based on new windows). For a small cost, you can upgrade the Residential Warranty to a Gold Warranty, matching the warranty of the window manufacturer.
