Residential Window Tinting · Sun Shades & Graphics
Get a Cool View With Home Window Tinting.
Big windows are fantastic for the light and the view. They also let in unwanted heat, glare and damaging UV rays. XPEL and LLumar residential window films keep the view — and keeps you comfortable indoors.
Why homeowners choose it
The advantages of window film are easy to see.
- No more sweating, no more squinting — residential window film blocks the heat and glare.
- High-transparency — window film can be nearly invisible; the only difference is your comfort.
- Your upholstery and artwork will last longer — window film blocks the UV rays that fade fabric and paint over time.
- Low-E window film saves you money all year — less cooling load in summer, less heating loss in winter.
The Sun Shades Difference
No need to guess. See it for yourself.
We understand it’s hard to visualize how something will look without seeing it in your own home — so we bring our showroom to you. No need to imagine; you’ll be able to see for yourself.
Built for South Carolina living
Effortless selection, real comfort.
Decades of experience
We opened shop back in 1978 and know a thing or two about window film. Our installers bring 75+ years of combined experience to every fit and every install.
Stay cool
The sun can make parts of your house feel unusable — glare, heat, and UV light fading your fabrics and art. Window film can make even the sunniest rooms more comfortable.
Lower utility bills
Low-E window film saves you money. It keeps your house cool in summer by blocking heat before it gets in, and in winter that same coating keeps your furnace’s heat from escaping.
No guesswork
Our in-home showroom eliminates the guesswork.
Forget about taking dozens of fiddly measurements before heading out to a distant showroom. We come to you, take on-site measurements, and let you see exactly how the film will look on your own windows. There’s no need to imagine how it’ll look when you can know instead.
Sun Shades & Graphics, by the numbers
Over 45 years of honing our craft.
Sun Shades has been in business for more than four decades, helping people take back their living spaces from the tyranny of the sun and really start enjoying their homes. Over the years we’ve mastered our craft, and you can expect our in-house installers to demonstrate time-won expertise when they measure, fit and install your window film.
No trade-offs
Comfort without compromise.
Windows don’t have to be a compromise — you can have large windows with great views and not have to deal with glare, uncomfortable heat, or UV bleaching. Tinted window film makes for a cooler, more pleasant room without blocking your view.

Why choose Sun Shades & Graphics.
- Our showroom comes to you.
See exactly how each option will look on your own windows — no need to guess how the tint will look through your own glass. - Local expertise.
We’re based in Columbia, SC, and have been in business for over 45 years. We’ve made hundreds of thousands of measurements across the state, and every installation is handled by our own crew — never subcontracted. - Only top-quality brands.
Low-quality products deliver low-quality results, and that’s not something we’re willing to risk. We’re a certified LLumar SelectPro dealer because they make a product we’re proud to stand behind. We also install XPEL ceramic window film, our installers’ first choice.
Customer reviews
What our customers have to say.
We added vista window film to our living room and bedroom windows, all facing east, and the morning sun just baked those rooms. Now it’s much better with the tint, and we still have the great view. Very pleased with everyone involved, from our initial meeting with Jeff to the installation team of Erasmo and Drew. Great job!
Susan N.Residential Window Film
Erasmo was wonderful. Came onsite to provide an estimate but also brought everything with him in case we said yes. They started work right away and were done in an hour. Had a UV tint put on a large window and had our entryway doors frosted. Will definitely use them again.
Ryan R.Residential Window Film
Nice work, y’all! Had the doors and windows covered at mom’s townhouse and am bummed we did not do this sooner. You can even feel the difference now standing in their frames. Erasmo did a great job with the install.
