Residential window film for South Orange County’s estate and master-planned communities: less heat, 99% UV protection, and films matched to your glass.
South Orange County
Estate-level window film for South County homes.
Coto de Caza is Orange County’s answer to Rancho Santa Fe: large custom homes on big lots behind the gates. Ladera Ranch and Rancho Mission Viejo next door are full of newer homes with big sliders and folding glass walls. Our work across all three is residential.
These communities sit inland in the canyons and foothills, away from the marine layer that keeps the coast cool, so afternoons run noticeably hotter. Owners call us for the same reasons: rooms that overheat, floors and furniture that fade, and cooling bills that climb every summer.
99% UV rejection, protecting floors, furnishings and art
Up to 63% heat rejection with DR OptiTune 30, or 52% with virtually clear SPe Lite 70
Matched to low-E glass, checked before we recommend a film
Lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking and color change
Both are Avery Dennison architectural films. The choice comes down to how much sun the glass takes and how untouched you want it to look.

SPe Lite 70
A spectrally selective film that lets visible light through and blocks heat. The glass stays virtually clear, so the architecture and the view look exactly as they did.

Avery Dennison · Our go-to
DR OptiTune 30
Reflects heat away instead of soaking it into the glass, with low interior reflection so rooms look natural at night. For the hottest glass we also offer the darker OptiTune 20.
Best for: Great rooms, slider walls and west-facing glass

Performance figures are Avery Dennison published data on single-pane glass. Results on your windows depend on the glass type and orientation.
Large custom and estate homes with tall arched windows, French doors, entry transoms and great rooms. The work is detailed, often at height, and the finished glass has to look as good as the rest of the house.
Ladera Ranch
Established family neighborhoods with big family-room windows, sliders onto the yard and two-story entries that catch the afternoon sun. Film takes the heat out of the rooms people use most.
Rancho Mission Viejo
Newer homes in villages like Sendero, Esencia and Rienda, often with multi-panel slider walls and builder low-E glass. We match the film to that glass so it performs and stays safe on the pane.

Questions
South County window film questions.
Do you service Coto de Caza, Ladera Ranch and Rancho Mission Viejo?
Yes. These communities are served from our Orange County location, along with Rancho Santa Margarita, Dove Canyon, Trabuco Canyon, Mission Viejo and San Juan Capistrano. The work here is almost entirely residential.
Can you put window film on newer low-E, dual-pane windows?
On most of them, yes, as long as the film is matched to the glass. Many homes in Ladera Ranch and Rancho Mission Viejo have builder low-E dual-pane windows, so we check the glass type, pane size and exposure before recommending a film, and we will tell you if a window should be left alone. More on film and low-E glass.
Which film is right for a home here?
Most homes get one of two Avery Dennison films. SPe Lite 70 is virtually clear and rejects 52% of the solar heat, for owners who want the glass to look untouched. DR OptiTune 30 rejects 63% of the heat and cuts 63% of the glare, and is the stronger choice for big west- and south-facing glass. On the hottest exposures we sometimes step up to DR OptiTune 20. We bring physical samples to the on-site visit.
Will film protect my floors, rugs and furniture from fading?
Our films block 99% of UV, the main cause of fading. Visible light and heat also contribute, so film slows fading a great deal rather than stopping it completely. More on film and fading.
Will window film lower my cooling bills?
Film cuts the heat coming in through the glass, so the air conditioning has less to fight on hot afternoons. How much that saves depends on the house and how you run it, so we do not promise a dollar figure.
What does window tinting cost here?
It depends on the glass area, the film, the number of panes and how high the glass sits. The on-site quote is free, and afterwards we send a detailed written proposal with a fixed price.
Is there a warranty?
Every residential film carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, delamination and color change. Our installation is warranted as well.
Tint Solutions recently installed 35% ceramic window film on our storefront in Anaheim, and the results were fantastic. The tint significantly reduced heat and glare while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. The installation was quick, the workmanship was excellent, and the team was great to work with. Highly recommend Tint Solutions for commercial window tinting in Orange County.

We had such a great experience with Tint Solutions! They installed window tint on several windows throughout our home, including some larger and second-story windows, and everything turned out amazing. The team was professional, friendly, thorough, and took their time to make sure everything was done right. The tint looks beautiful and we’re already so happy with the difference it makes in our home. Great quality, great service, and absolutely worth it. We would definitely recommend Tint Solutions to anyone looking for residential window tinting. 5/5! ⭐

I've had my home windows tinted before, but the installation from Tint Solutions is on a completely different level. The film edges are incredibly precise, with virtually no light gaps, and the finished product looks fantastic. The attention to detail and overall quality really stand out compared to my previous experience. Highly recommend Tint Solutions to anyone in the North County area thanks guys!
