How a Solar Gard installation works
01
Free on-site estimate
A Solar Busters technician visits your property, measures the glass, assesses sun exposure and window type, and recommends the appropriate Solar Gard product for your goals and budget.
02
Film selection
We walk you through the Solar Gard product range — Quantum, Panorama, LX Series, Ecolux, or Armorcoat — and confirm the right VLT level, finish, and thickness for your glass and application.
03
Professional installation
Most residential installations are completed in a single day. The technician cleans the glass, applies the film with a slip solution, trims it to a precise fit, and squeegees out all moisture.
04
Cure and warranty registration
Film cures in 3–7 days. Solar Busters provides care instructions and registers the installation with Solar Gard to activate the manufacturer warranty.
Solar Gard window film — common questions
Is Solar Gard the same as Saint-Gobain?
Yes. Solar Gard is a brand owned by Saint-Gobain, one of the world's largest building materials companies. Saint-Gobain acquired Solar Gard in 2007. The films are manufactured to Saint-Gobain's quality standards and carry the same independent IWFA certifications.
What is the difference between Quantum Series and Panorama Series?
Quantum Series uses nano-ceramic technology for maximum infrared heat rejection (up to 97% IR) without any metallic content — ideal where mobile signal interference is a concern. Panorama Series delivers strong solar performance with a neutral, low-reflectivity appearance at a lower price point. Both carry lifetime residential warranties.
Will Solar Gard film void my window warranty?
In most cases, no. Solar Gard films are designed to comply with most window manufacturer specifications. However, we recommend checking your window warranty before installation. Solar Busters can advise on film selection to minimise any warranty risk for your specific glass type.
How long does Solar Gard film last?
Solar Gard residential films carry a limited lifetime warranty, which reflects their expected service life of 15–25 years under normal conditions. Commercial installations typically carry a 10-year warranty. Longevity depends on sun exposure, glass type, and cleaning practices.
Can Solar Gard film be applied to double-glazed windows?
Yes, with the right product selection. Some high-rejection films can increase heat build-up in the glass unit of double-glazed windows, which may affect the sealed unit. Solar Busters selects films appropriate for your glass type and can advise on products specifically rated for double-glazed application.
