At Tint by Designs, we believe a professional window film installation starts with two things: experienced installation and a quality film you can trust.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that Tint by Designs is now offering Solar Gard window film products for our automotive, residential, and commercial window film services in Toronto and throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
By adding Solar Gard to our film options, we can provide our customers with access to a well-established window film brand with solutions designed for heat control, UV protection, glare reduction, privacy, comfort, safety, and appearance.
Whether you need window tint for your vehicle, solar control film for your home, or a complete window film solution for a commercial property, Tint by Designs can help you select the appropriate film based on your glass, goals, budget, and desired appearance.
Why We Chose Solar Gard
Not all window films are manufactured to the same standards.
At Tint by Designs, we want our customers to know what is being installed on their glass and to have access to established film manufacturers with published specifications and warranty programs.
Solar Gard has been producing window films for more than 30 years, with products used in automotive, residential, commercial, and other applications.
The Solar Gard lineup gives us additional options to recommend films based on the individual project rather than treating every installation the same.
For our customers, that means we can focus on finding the right balance between:
- Heat rejection
- UV protection
- Glare reduction
- Privacy
- Visible light transmission
- Interior comfort
- Exterior appearance
- Reflectivity
- Automotive styling
- Glass compatibility
- Long-term performance
This is particularly important in Toronto and the GTA, where window film may need to perform through strong summer sunlight as well as changing conditions throughout the year.
Solar Gard Residential Window Film
Large windows can bring beautiful natural light into a home, condo, or townhouse, but they can also contribute to excessive heat, uncomfortable glare, and UV exposure.
Solar Gard offers architectural films designed for residential applications, giving homeowners different choices depending on how much light, reflectivity, heat control, and privacy they want.
Solar Gard identifies improved comfort, protection against fading, UV protection, solar heat rejection, and glare reduction among the benefits available from its window film products.
At Tint by Designs, Solar Gard films can be considered for residential applications such as:
Heat Control Window Film
Solar-control films can help reduce the amount of solar energy entering through the glass, helping create a more comfortable indoor environment.
UV Protection Window Film
UV protection is particularly useful in rooms with large windows where flooring, furniture, artwork, and other interior finishes receive substantial sunlight.
Glare Reduction
For living rooms, home offices, condos, and spaces with televisions or computer screens, an appropriately selected film can reduce uncomfortable glare while maintaining useful natural light.
Privacy Options
Depending on the property and the customer's goals, reflective or privacy-oriented films can provide increased daytime privacy.
It is important to remember that reflective one-way privacy films depend on lighting conditions. They generally provide their strongest privacy when the exterior is brighter than the interior and should not be considered nighttime privacy film.
Solar Gard Commercial Window Film
Commercial buildings can benefit significantly from professionally selected architectural window film.
Offices, storefronts, clinics, restaurants, studios, warehouses, retail units, and other businesses frequently have large areas of glass exposed to sunlight throughout the day.
Tint by Designs can provide Solar Gard window film solutions for businesses looking to improve:
Solar Heat Control – Help reduce excessive solar heat entering through exterior glass.
Glare Control – Make offices, waiting areas, workstations, and customer spaces more comfortable.
UV Protection – Help protect merchandise, flooring, furnishings, displays, and interior finishes from UV exposure.
Daytime Privacy – Certain reflective films can increase daytime privacy while maintaining outward visibility, depending on lighting conditions.
Building Appearance – Window film can also create a more consistent and professional appearance across exterior glazing.
Solar Gard offers a range of architectural films, and warranty coverage varies according to the particular product and whether it is installed in a residential or commercial application. For example, Solar Gard's Canadian warranty information lists several residential products with limited lifetime coverage and various commercial products with warranty periods ranging by film type.
Our team can help determine which film is appropriate rather than simply recommending the darkest or most reflective option.
Solar Gard Automotive Window Tinting
We're also bringing Solar Gard options to our automotive window tinting service in North York.
Automotive tint isn't only about making a vehicle darker. A quality film can improve driving comfort, reduce glare, provide UV protection, help control solar heat, protect interior surfaces, and give the vehicle a cleaner finished appearance.
Solar Gard's current automotive lineup includes options such as XenithIR®, VortexIR®, Endeavor™, Solstice™ and HP Smoke, providing different levels of technology, performance, appearance, and warranty coverage.
For example, Solar Gard states that its premium XenithIR ceramic film can block more than 99% of UV rays and up to 93% of infrared heat, while VortexIR ceramic is rated to block more than 99% of UV rays and up to 88% of infrared heat. Actual performance varies by film and shade selected.
This gives Tint by Designs the ability to offer different solutions based on what matters most to the customer — whether that's appearance, UV protection, heat rejection, comfort, or overall value.
Manufacturer-Backed Film Options
One of the reasons we're adding Solar Gard products is the value of offering film from a recognizable manufacturer with established product specifications and warranty programs.
Solar Gard publishes warranty information for both its automotive and architectural film ranges. Depending on the specific product, certain automotive films are backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty, while architectural warranty periods vary by product and application.
Customers should always confirm the exact warranty applicable to the specific Solar Gard product selected for their installation.
For Tint by Designs, this means we can combine professional local installation with reputable branded film options.
The Right Film Matters as Much as the Installation
One of the biggest mistakes with window tinting is assuming that one film works for every piece of glass.
It doesn't.
A film that performs well on one building may not necessarily be the best choice for another. The same applies to vehicles.
For residential and commercial installations, factors such as glass construction, existing coatings, Low-E surfaces, whether the glass is single-, double-, or triple-pane, window orientation, film absorption, reflectivity, and the desired appearance should all be considered.
For automotive installations, the customer's desired shade, heat rejection, UV protection, appearance, visibility, and applicable tint laws should be considered.
That's why Tint by Designs focuses on film selection and installation as a complete service, rather than simply selling a roll of tint.

A New Film Option, the Same Focus on Quality
Adding Solar Gard products doesn't change the approach we've built Tint by Designs around — it expands the choices we can offer our customers.
Our goal is to recommend a window film based on what you're actually trying to accomplish.
If your Toronto condo gets excessively hot in the afternoon, we'll look at solar-control options.
If you're trying to protect a home's interior from UV exposure without dramatically darkening the windows, we'll look at films suited to that objective.
If your business needs greater daytime privacy and glare reduction, we can recommend options based on the building and lighting conditions.
And if you're tinting a vehicle, we can help you choose an automotive film and shade that provides the combination of appearance, comfort, heat rejection, and UV protection you're looking for.
Better film options. Professional installation. A solution selected for your specific application.
