THE HEAVY HITTERS

The names that define the industry. If you're looking for proven performance, warranty backing, and a catalog that spans every residential and commercial need — this is where we usually start.

LLumar

THE WORLD'S LARGEST MANUFACTURER

Known for high-performance ceramic and solar control films. LLumar covers everything from entry-level solar film to top-tier ceramic — a go-to for projects where versatility and proven performance matter most.

CERAMIC SOLAR CONTROL DUAL-REFLECTIVE

Vista

ELITE BRAND BY EASTMAN

Sister brand to LLumar (both owned by Eastman), but positioned exclusively for high-end residential and commercial architectural glass. Vista is the choice when optical clarity and premium finish take priority over budget.

LUXURY RESIDENTIAL OPTICAL CLARITY UV PROTECTION

SunTek

BALANCED PERFORMANCE & VALUE

Widely popular for its balance of advanced technology and durability in both specialty and solar films. SunTek's extensive decorative and safety catalog makes it especially strong for commercial storefronts and build-outs.

COMMERCIAL DECORATIVE SAFETY FILM

Madico

INDUSTRY PIONEER · SUNSCAPE LINE

One of the original names in window film. The specialized Sunscape line delivers superior heat rejection and optical clarity — a favorite for Houston projects where both thermal performance and a clean interior view are non-negotiable.

SUNSCAPE LINE HEAT REJECTION CLARITY
◆ TIER 2 · SPECIALIZED & PERFORMANCE

THE SPECIALISTS

When a project has a specific need — a unique aesthetic, sustainability goals, a demanding architectural finish, or a particular look — we reach for one of these focused specialists.

Avery Dennison

ARCHITECTURAL & EXTERIOR FILMS

Renowned for high-tech architectural finishes and exterior-grade films. When a commercial project demands a specific visual language — or an exterior installation needs to stand up to Houston's sun and storms — Avery Dennison delivers.

ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIOR-GRADE DESIGN-FORWARD

Johnson Window Films

FAMILY-OWNED · MADE IN U.S.A.

A family-owned U.S. manufacturer famous for its ScenicView and DaylightNatural series — known for a natural, neutral appearance that lets the view through while still delivering strong performance. A great fit for homeowners who don't want their windows to look tinted.

SCENICVIEW DAYLIGHTNATURAL U.S. MADE

Huper Optik

PATENTED NANO-CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

The leader in patented nano-ceramic window film. Huper Optik delivers category-leading heat rejection without a mirrored look — the right choice when performance is critical but an aggressive reflective finish isn't the vibe you want.

NANO-CERAMIC NON-REFLECTIVE HIGH REJECTION

Solar Gard

OWNED BY SAINT-GOBAIN

Specializes in energy-efficient low-e films and high-impact safety solutions. Industry-leading carbon-negative manufacturing footprint — the pick for commercial clients with ESG/sustainability targets or buildings going after certifications.

VLT CALCULATOR

Every film's VLT (Visible Light Transmission) combines with your glass's VLT to produce the actual darkness you'll see. Use the sliders to preview exactly how your windows will look after we install your chosen film.

Most residential and commercial glass is 70–80%. Tinted factory glass may be lower.

Found the VLT that's right for you? Bring the number to your quote and we'll match you to the right film.

Good to know: Because Space City tints residential and commercial properties only — never vehicles — there are no legal VLT minimums for your project. Going very dark is a matter of preference and practical visibility, not law.

LET CHRIS PICK FOR YOU

The right brand depends on your windows, your sunlight exposure, your budget, and the look you're after. That's what the free quote is for — tell us about the project and we'll recommend the exact film that fits.
