Vista window films also warrants against thermal shock fracture for a period of sixty months for up to $500.00 per window.

For an additional fee, we offer the Vista Gold warranty that matches the window manufacturer’s warranty to protect against the possibility of seal failure that may occur after the thirty-six month period.

Only then is the film applied to the glass in a manner that is similar to the hanging of wallpaper. The entire process is neat and all furniture that is moved is returned to its original location after the film is installed. Since no harsh smelling chemicals are used during the installation, there is no odor as a result of the film installations
