We commend you for becoming an informed customer. By taking the time to stop by our website, you are increasing your chances of :
1.) getting a good value for your money and
2.) being satisfied with your decision.
We don't shy away from providing information because we feel an informed person is more likely to choose Shore Shade over the other tinting companies.
In residential tinting, most companies use basically the same methods, so why can the results differ so greatly?
Shore Shade has been in business since 2000 and we have developed our techniques for the cleanest applications possible. Film is a very fragile material, easily creased and wrinkled. Simple things such as knowing how to handle the film can only come with experience.
Experience can only come with time. Experience also determines how well the film is cut to fit to the window. There will be a certain amount of space(gap) between the edge of the film and the window seal. A crooked or large gap is very unappealing. We understand this and have developed our techniques over the years on every type of window seal, to give the most appealing finish possible.
Contamination
Good cleaning techniques and quick smooth application of the film to the window greatly reduce contamination (hair,lint,dust). Contamination is impossible to completely eliminate, it is more a question of how much you will get. This is where the skill of the installer is important. An inexperienced installer who struggles with the film is more likely to get contamination and creases. Even on the toughest seals, such as flaking wood frames, our installations are turning out cleaner than what the average company gets with new clean seals.
Material
We have made a commitment to using only the best metalized films from reputable manufacturers such as LLUMAR. Sure we could save alot of money by using cheaper films. We get ads in the mail all the time from companies offering films much lower than what we are currently paying. How tempting this might be to these "fly by night" companies. But we are in this for the long haul, this means doing it right the first time.
Workmanship
Remember a good tint is both quality film and quality workmanship, we use LLUMAR window film but it's not a question of what you put on only, but how it's put on. Getting a top quality film is a waste, if its not put on by an expert in the field. By all means, make sure you are getting a good quality metalized film, which comes with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer not the tint shop. But then, the most important is getting a top quality installation. At Shore Shade our methods of application are at the top of the industry. Contact us today for an estimate.

COMMERCIAL
LLUMAR Window Film is the one building improvement that makes a noticeable difference both inside and out.
The more windows there are in your building, the greater the benefits of installing LLUMAR Window film. That's because LLUMAR film does much more than simply control heat gain. It also improves the safety, security, energy efficiency and appearance of your building--all at a fraction of the cost of installing special glass.
Save energy every day of the year
Keep heat from getting in and you won't have to pay to pump it out. Unlike drapes and blinds, LLUMAR film rejects up to 79% of the heat that would otherwise come through the window. That can translate into a savings of about one ton of air conditioning for every 100 square feet of glass exposed to sunlight. In cooler seasons, LLUMAR Film works to save energy by reflecting heat back into the room. This can reduce heat loss by up to 30%, saving you fuel and improving tenant comfort. In addition, an energy efficient building puts less strain on your heating and cooling system, thus reducing maintenance and extending the life of the equipment.
Reduced glare
The sunny side of the building is overheating. Yet the air conditioning is making the shaded side too cool. Complaints are coming in from both sides of the building and tenants are dueling with their thermostats. With LLUMAR film, your building becomes a more comfortable place to work. Temperature imbalances are minimized. Glare is reduced. Tenants don't have to squint and strain to view their computer screens.
A safer, more secure building
LLUMAR'S proprietary adhesive technology bonds tightly to the glass. This helps reduce the dangers associated with breakage. In the event of severe weather, earthquakes, explosions, fires or vandalism, this can significantly reduce injuries due to flying glass. Where the potential for breakage is particularly high, we recommend extra tough LLUMAR MAGNUM Safety and Security Films. Penetration and tear resistance also makes LLUMAR`S MAGNUM films an excellent choice for improving security, especially on ground floor windows. By making unwanted entry extremely difficult, LLUMAR Magnum films deter burglary without unsightly bars.
Extra protection for furnishings
The sun's ultraviolet rays are a major contributor to fading. Carpeting, paneling, desks, drapes and upholstered furniture represent a sizable investment that can quickly lose value when damaged by prolonged exposure to the sun. LLUMAR films screen out up to 99% of those harmful rays, therefore fading is considerably reduced and your investment in furnishings is better protected.
An attractive proposition
Viewed from the outside, LLUMAR film gives your building a clean, contemporary appearance. It disguises clutter and disarray of half-drawn drapes and blinds, non-uniform furniture placement and uneven lighting. And provides you with an economical way to make your building more attractive and more valuable. Since there is a complete selection of films that vary in color, density, and heat rejection qualities, we can show you a film that offers your building the ideal balance of aesthetic and performance characteristics.
We offer many film lines:
Reflective and Non-Reflective Neutral Films available in gray and bronze shades as well as different darkness.
