Window Tint Cost by Film Type

The type of film is the biggest factor in pricing. Here is how the four main tint types compare in cost for a full vehicle installation at a typical shop.

Dyed (Regular) Film

$50 - $150

Cheapest option. Provides basic privacy and appearance but minimal heat rejection. Fades and turns purple within a few years. We do not install dyed film.

Metallic Film

$100 - $250

Better heat rejection than dyed film, but contains metal particles that interfere with cell signals, GPS, and Bluetooth. Not recommended for modern vehicles.

Carbon Film

$150 - $350

Good heat rejection with a clean, matte finish. Will not fade. A solid mid-range option, but does not match ceramic for heat performance.

Ceramic Film

$250 - $500+

The best available. Highest heat rejection, best optical clarity, no signal interference, and lifetime durability. This is what The Window Wizard installs exclusively.

Commercial Window Tinting Prices

Commercial projects are quoted individually based on the total glass area, film type, building access requirements, and scheduling needs. Most commercial installations use solar control or security film.

Typical commercial pricing ranges from $7 to $18 per square foot, with large projects often qualifying for volume discounts. Storefronts, office buildings, restaurants, and medical offices are the most common commercial jobs we handle.
