Why Homeowners Are Asking About 3M and XPEL Window Film And What You Should Know

Have you wondered if Xpel or 3M films might be the right option for your home or office?

Let's dive into these brands and learn why Armor Tints offers a premium alternative designed for South Florida's intense heat and sun, making it truly Your Shield Agains The Sun.

Most homeowners run into two big names when learning about window films for their home or office projects: 3M and Xpel. Both brands are well-known for their performance and quality, in the automotive world. But when it comes to taking care of your home or office, things can be quite different in the world of window tinting.

At Armor Tints, we regularly get asked:“Do you carry 3M window film?” or “Is XPEL better for heat rejection?” The truth is, while those are well-known brands, there are other high-quality options that can offer even better performance, value, and style depending on your needs.

What to Know About 3M Window Film

3M can be a recognizable name in the window film industry, mostly because of its consumer products. Although their films offer reliable UV protection and heat rejection, most of their appeal does come from brand familiarity rather than performance alone. Armor Tints aim to focus on film options that are engineered specifically for South Florida's intense sun and humidity. We offfer superior clarity, heat control, and long-lasting protection that lives up to our motto: Your Shield Against The Sun.

What About XPEL Window Film?

XPEL is especially known for its presence in automotive paint protection and window film. Their films are sleek and modern — and some customers ask if they work for homes too. While XPEL does make architectural films, they’re not as widely known in the residential space.

At Armor Tints, we focus on film solutions that are purpose-built for homes and businesses not just adapted from the auto world.
