About Architectural Tint
A Calgary area window film installer that works only on flat glass: homes, condos, offices and storefronts.
Our story
Flat glass is all we do.
Architectural Tint installs window film for homeowners, property managers and contractors across the Calgary area. We don't tint cars. Every technician on our crew is trained on architectural glass, where the panes are bigger, the seals matter more and the film has to last for decades.
That focus shows in the details: film cut to size on site, edges finished cleanly, and a glass-type check before we recommend anything so your window warranty stays intact.
- Our own installation crew, no subcontractors
- Written quotes that name the exact film and shade
- Manufacturer-backed warranty on every job
- WSIB coverage and liability insurance

Reviews
What customers say once the film is on.
The living room used to be unusable after 2 pm in July. Now the blinds stay open all day and the AC runs about half as much.
Living room and sunroom, nearly clear ceramic film
They tinted 140 windows across our office over one weekend. Zero disruption, and the glare complaints stopped.
140 windows on the west elevation, dual-reflective film
Frosted film on the clinic partitions looks like real etched glass. Patients can't tell the difference.
Glass partitions and front door, frosted privacy band
We had security film put on the back windows after a break-in next door. The crew was done in a morning and you cannot see it at all.
Ground-floor rear windows, clear 8 mil security film
Our west windows took the full afternoon sun all summer. With the film on, the family room is finally comfortable after dinner.
Family room and patio door, ceramic solar film
The frosted band on our boardroom glass gives us privacy without losing the light. It went up in a single afternoon.
Boardroom glass walls, frosted privacy band
The storefront glared so badly that customers could not see the displays. Now the window looks clear and the shop stays cooler.
Storefront glazing, neutral solar control film
They sorted out the spec sheet for our condo board and matched the film to the building rules. Nobody can tell it is there.
Floor-to-ceiling condo windows, light neutral film
Taggers kept scratching our front windows. Now we peel off the damaged layer and the glass underneath is untouched.
Front windows and door, anti-graffiti film
Security film on the entrance glass went on over a weekend, so classes were never interrupted.
Main entrance and office glass, clear security film
FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers about film, installation and care.
Still have a question?
Talk to a person. We are happy to look at your windows before you decide anything.
Call +1 (403) 992 5292How long does window film last?
Quality architectural films typically last 10 to 15 years or more on interior glass, and residential films carry a manufacturer warranty against bubbling, peeling and discolouration.
Will the film make my windows dark?
Only if you want it to. Many films are nearly clear and still block heat and UV. You choose the shade by looking at real samples on your own glass before we start.
Can film go on double-pane or low-E windows?
Yes, with the right film. We check the glass type first and only recommend films approved for it, so the seal and your window warranty stay intact.
How long does installation take?
Most homes are finished in a day. Commercial projects are scheduled around your hours, including evenings and weekends, and larger buildings can be done floor by floor.
How do I clean tinted windows?
Wait about 30 days for the film to cure, then clean as usual with a soft cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner. No abrasive pads or scrapers.
