Twenty minutes from the Financial District, fitted indoors in Los Feliz.
Ceramic tint for residents in the towers, and architectural film for the buildings themselves.
Fleet and commercial work scheduled so vehicles stay on the road.
Downtown splits into two jobs. Residents in the towers want ceramic tint because west-facing glass and open-air structures cook a car all afternoon. Building managers want architectural film on the glass itself, to cut the cooling load and the glare on screens.
Downtown is a permanent construction site, and construction means airborne grit.
That dust settles on every parked car and gets ground into the paint the moment someone wipes it with a dry cloth.
Parking is either a sealed structure or a completely exposed upper deck, and the upper decks are brutal from noon onward.
Then there is the glass problem. West-facing apartments and offices take full sun from two o’clock, and blinds are not an answer if you paid for the view.
Vehicle work is fitted in our indoor bay. Architectural film is fitted on site.
Commercial glass is quoted by square footage after a survey, not over the phone.
Ceramic film that cuts heat without breaking California’s front window rule.
Non-metallic film with the strongest infrared rejection. No signal interference, no purple fade.
Self-healing urethane over the panels that take stone damage on the freeway.
Full color changes, partial wraps, and chrome delete in gloss or satin black.
A bonded layer that makes the car easier to wash and far harder to stain.
The two requests that come from Downtown are unrelated to each other.
Ceramic tint on cars. The upper decks are the reason. A car sitting uncovered from nine to six needs infrared rejection, not just a darker window.
Architectural film on buildings. Solar control film on west and south glazing cuts the afternoon cooling load and removes the hot spots staff complain about.
Security film is the third request, usually for ground-floor retail frontage rather than upper floors.
The two sides of Downtown work run completely differently.
Car work comes to our indoor bay and is usually back the same day.
Architectural film happens at your building, floor by floor, and can run outside office hours.
Cars are quoted from the model. Buildings are quoted after a site survey.
Drop the car in the morning, or book a survey window for glass.
Same-day on most tint. Commercial glass is staged to avoid disruption.
Film needs a few days to cure once you collect. Leave the windows up and the car unwashed for the period we give you at handover.
Any haze or small water pockets under fresh film clear on their own.
We are at 5035 Hollywood Blvd, at the Los Feliz end of the Boulevard.
From Downtown it is the 101 north to Western or Vermont, then across to the Boulevard.
Around twenty minutes outside peak. Considerably longer northbound after four.
For commercial glass we come to you and survey the site before quoting.
Rough drive times outside rush hour.
Front side windows must let more than 70% of light through, film and glass measured together.
Rear side and rear glass have no darkness limit.
The windshield takes a tinted strip across the top four inches only. Clear ultraviolet film is allowed across the whole screen.
We fit to that limit. A shop that ignores it is selling you a fix-it ticket plus the cost of stripping the film off again.
Yes. Architectural film is a different product from car tint, engineered for flat glass and larger spans, and it is fitted on site rather than at our bay.
Most will, but reflective films often need approval because they change how the building looks from outside. Check the lease and any HOA rule before you commit.
It reduces solar heat gain through the glass, which lowers the load at the afternoon peak. How much depends on glass area, orientation and how the building runs, so we model it rather than quote a headline number.
By square footage of glass, after a site survey. Access matters too, since upper-floor exterior work needs specialist equipment and costs more than ground-floor interior.
Yes, and for occupied floors it usually is. Interior application is quiet and quick per pane, so most jobs run floor by floor with minimal disruption.
For retail frontage, often yes. It holds broken glass together so a smash-and-grab meets a membrane that has to be cut rather than an opening.
Ceramic film on all glass, and the roof if the car has one. An uncovered deck is the closest thing to leaving the car in a field all day.
Yes, scheduled in batches so the operation keeps running. A few vehicles at a time, timed around your working day.
No, the car goes straight into the bay. That is usually a relief for anyone used to Downtown structures.
Yes, provided we do them close together. Film varies slightly between production batches, so a fleet split over months may not match exactly.
Send the year, make and model with what you want done.
We come back with the price and the day, not a range.
