Residential Window Film
Our residential window film solutions protect homes from UV damage while maintaining aesthetic appeal. These films reduce interior fading of furniture and flooring by blocking 99% of harmful UV rays. Homeowners benefit from improved energy efficiency through reduced HVAC usage and enhanced privacy without obstructing natural light.
Commercial Window Film
Commercial window films enhance building efficiency and occupant comfort across office spaces and retail environments. These solutions reduce solar heat gain by up to 78%, lowering cooling costs while maintaining glass integrity. Businesses gain security benefits from shatter-resistant films that protect against break-ins and weather events.
Hurricane Protection
Hurricane protection films reinforce glass against extreme weather conditions using proprietary 3M Glass Shield technology. This solution maintains window integrity during Category 4 storms (130 mph winds) and prevents glass fragmentation during impacts. Insurance providers often recognize these films with premium discounts for residential and commercial properties.
School Safety Films
School safety window films enhance security in educational environments by delaying forced entry and containing glass shards during incidents. These transparent films maintain visibility for monitoring while providing protection against accidental breakage and weather-related damage without altering building aesthetics.
Anti-Graffiti Film
Anti-graffiti window films protect commercial storefronts and public facilities from permanent glass damage. The durable, optically clear films resist etching and paint adhesion while maintaining visibility. Damaged films can be quickly replaced without removing glass, reducing maintenance costs and preserving property appearance.

Very good folks, quick response and extremely patient. Initially had them out to re-install film on our windows only to find out that a newly replaced window that was installed by another company actually did not match the rest of our windows which were factory tinted and the glass that the glass company installed was clear. So upon finding this out we had the film company put the job on hold until we got the window issue resolved. After five months the new window was installed by the glass company and I called Coastal Installations back and they broke schedule to come out and finish our work.

Sale was straight forward and pressure free. Install was great he left no mess and made sure I had my 3M warranty paperwork before he left. I will be using this company again in the future for more of the same film.

The film I got was sun and safety film. Dennis took time to explain the pros and cons of Ultra 50 vs Ultra 70. He recommended Ultra 50 and I took his advice. I am happy with the result: the house feels comfortable; there's plenty of light but no glare. The installer was a meticulous craftsman and completed the entire house (27 windows) in under a day and a half. I have recommended Coastal Installations to friends.

Superb 3M company. Been in business in the Low Country for over 20 years. Professional crew, impressive efficient 3M heat sun UV film application on our Hilton Heat Plantation retirement home. The 3M film significantly cut house solar heat right as summer starts. Highly recommend Coastal Installations.
