How Glacier Tinting Grew From Automotive Tinting To Architectural Window Film

Our story started in 2023 with automotive window tinting.

As the business developed, we began taking on more residential and commercial window film installations. Working with larger areas of architectural glass introduced different challenges, from controlling solar heat in highly glazed rooms to improving privacy in homes and workplaces.

That side of the business continued to grow and has since become our main focus.

Today, we specialise in window film for homes, conservatories and commercial properties, using the practical knowledge we have developed across different glazing systems, film types and installation environments.

Since opening, we have installed more than 3,600m² of window film, working with private homeowners, independent businesses and organisations including Porsche, Kia, the University of Greenwich and TP-Link.

Our work has also taken us beyond our usual service areas, including projects in Manchester and Amsterdam.

We are proud of that growth, but the principles behind Glacier Tinting have remained simple. We want to give people clear advice, specify suitable products and complete work to a standard we are happy to put our name to.

Window Film Specialists Focused On Homes & Commercial Properties

Our main focus today is residential and commercial window film installation.

We work with homeowners looking to make bright or heavily glazed spaces more comfortable, as well as offices, managed properties, fit-out firms, construction contractors and other commercial clients with more complex glazing requirements.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Reducing excessive solar heat through windows
  • Improving daytime privacy
  • Managing glare on televisions, monitors and workspaces
  • Helping protect interiors from UV exposure and fading
  • Making conservatories and highly glazed rooms more comfortable
  • Adding privacy to bathrooms, doors, partitions and offices
  • Addressing commercial safety, security or manifestation requirements

Our work includes heat-rejection and solar-control films, one-way privacy and mirrored films, frosted films, UV-protection films, glare-reduction films, safety and security films and commercial manifestations.

The aim is not to sell the same film to every customer. It is to understand what you want the glass to do differently and identify suitable options from there.

Our Step-By-Step Approach To Finding The Right Window Film

Every property and glazing system is different. That's why we take the time to understand your requirements before recommending a suitable window film.

Step 1: Understanding Your Needs

We start by discussing what you want to achieve, whether that's reducing heat, improving privacy, controlling glare or protecting interiors from UV exposure.

Step 2: Assessing Your Glazing

We consider your glass type, property and preferred appearance to identify films that are compatible with your glazing and suitable for your needs.

Step 3: Exploring Your Options

Where appropriate, we provide film samples, technical specifications and site visits to help you compare suitable products and understand their performance and limitations.

Step 4: Recommending The Right Solution

We explain our recommendations clearly, set realistic expectations and help you make an informed decision before installation.

Our priority is always to recommend the right film for your property, not simply the most expensive option.

Products Selected For Performance, Appearance & Glazing Suitability

We primarily work with established window film ranges from Opalux and DuraVista.

These ranges give us access to different options for solar control, privacy, UV protection, glare reduction, decorative applications and commercial requirements.

But brand or appearance alone does not determine what we recommend.

Film selection can involve balancing several factors, including:

  • The type of glazing
  • The problem you want to address
  • The amount of natural light you want to retain
  • The level of privacy required
  • Internal and external appearance
  • Film performance
  • Compatibility between the film and glass

Our team undertakes film-to-glass suitability training to support this process and help us specify appropriate films for different glazing types.

That technical understanding is particularly important as projects become larger or more complex.

Meet Tomass & The Glacier Tinting Team

Glacier Tinting was founded by Tomass Kundzins, who continues to manage the business and oversee our projects.

We are a close-knit team of four, made up of Tom and our skilled window film installers.

Between us, we handle the journey from the initial enquiry through to surveys, product selection, planning and installation.

Keeping installation within our own team helps us maintain a consistent approach to workmanship and customer communication, whether we are applying film to a single residential window or planning a larger commercial installation.

It also means the people recommending and working with these products are closely connected to what happens on site.

Honesty, Quality & Knowledge Guide How We Work

Our values shape every recommendation and installation, ensuring customers receive honest advice, quality workmanship and technical expertise.

Honest Advice

We explain what window film can realistically achieve and recommend suitable solutions without overselling or unnecessary upgrades.

Quality Workmanship

We take pride in the details, delivering a professional finish with the same care on residential and commercial projects.

Technical Knowledge

We continually develop our understanding of window film, glazing compatibility and installation techniques to make informed recommendations.

Training That Supports More Demanding Projects

As our commercial capabilities have grown, so has the range and complexity of the projects we can undertake.

Our training includes IPAF training for the safe operation of powered access equipment on projects involving work at height, along with RAMS training covering risk assessments and method statements used to support safe project planning.

Our film-to-glass suitability training also supports more informed product specification across different glazing types.

Together with our practical installation experience, this helps us approach larger residential and commercial projects with the planning and technical consideration they require.

More Than 3,600m² Of Practical Window Film Experience

One of the milestones we are most proud of is how far Glacier Tinting has developed since 2023.

What began as a small automotive tinting business has grown into a specialist window film company completing residential installations and increasingly demanding commercial projects.

So far, that journey includes:

  • 3,600m²+ of window film installed
  • Residential and commercial installations
  • Experience across different glazing types and property settings
  • Work with homeowners and independent businesses
  • Projects involving organisations including Porsche, Kia, the University of Greenwich and TP-Link
  • Projects completed beyond our core region, including Manchester and Amsterdam

Those figures matter because window film expertise is built through practical experience as well as product knowledge.

Every installation adds to our understanding of how different films look, perform and need to be handled in real spaces.
