Why residential window tint matters in Upper Arlington
Upper Arlington's mature, tree-lined streets are full of classic brick traditionals with large picture windows and original interiors. Residential ceramic film is one of the most-requested upgrades in the neighborhood — heat down, view preserved, no exterior change.
Older UA homes have plenty of west-facing picture windows looking out on tree-lined streets — beautiful, but harsh on hardwood floors and antique furniture from late spring through early fall.
