Protect storefront glass along the Hill Country Mile and throughout downtown Boerne while preserving the building's character.
Cut down on heat and glare in new or older Boerne homes without changing how your windows look from the outside.
Boerne sits in the Texas Hill Country northwest of San Antonio. Long summers and strong afternoon sun put real strain on the historic storefronts downtown and on the newer homes filling in around them. Older buildings along the Hill Country Mile often still carry their original single-pane glass. Newer construction homes tend to have larger windows that let in more heat than most homeowners expect.
Here’s what comes up most often on jobs in the Boerne area:
Every job is handled by our own crew, and every recommendation accounts for whether a building is historic, new construction, or somewhere in between.
Downtown Boerne runs on foot traffic. Most people get a look at your storefront through the glass before they ever walk inside. Retail shops along the Hill Country Mile want less glare and heat without covering up their window displays. Offices need less screen glare without losing daylight. Restaurants with patio-facing glass want guest comfort without blocking the view that draws people outside in the first place.
Solar control film cuts glare and heat while keeping storefront displays fully visible. Security film adds a layer of protection to street-level glass, which matters for businesses that stay open late. Decorative film can section off private office space without any construction.
A large part of downtown Boerne sits in a historic district. We factor in preservation considerations before recommending a finish, since not every product is the right fit for every building.
Buildings under the General Services Administration’s oversight must meet specific glass and shatter-resistance standards. Those requirements change from time to time as they get updated. Upgrading to a compliant security film gives glass added resistance to forced entry, seismic movement, or blast events. That reduces dangerous glass debris if a window fails.
A single film handles most situations, but higher-risk properties sometimes call for two layers instead of one. We can add our exterior-grade 7-mil clear security film on top of our interior Ultra Series film, so anyone trying to force their way through has to get past both. A hammer or pry bar that can break through one layer typically can’t break through both.

We regularly serve Boerne and these nearby communities:
Pricing depends on the film type, the size and number of windows, and whether the job is solar, decorative, or security grade. Because every property is different, we quote each job individually rather than posting a flat rate.
Most homes are finished in a single day. Larger commercial buildings may take longer depending on square footage and access to the glass.
Yes. Solar control film blocks a large share of solar heat before it ever passes through the glass, which is one of the biggest reasons Texas homeowners install it.
Not necessarily. Many of our clear and low-reflective options reduce heat and glare while keeping your glass looking close to untinted. Darker finishes are available if you want them, but they are optional.
Security film will not make glass unbreakable, but it holds shattered glass together on impact, slowing forced entry and reducing the number of loose glass shards if the window is struck or broken.
Decorative film adds a frosted, patterned, or custom look to glass and is often used for privacy in bathrooms, conference rooms, or storefront windows without completely covering the glass.
Yes. Businesses use it to reduce glare on screens, lower cooling costs, and, in some cases, add privacy or branding to street-facing glass.
Both. We work with homeowners across New Braunfels as often as we work with commercial properties.
In addition to New Braunfels itself, we regularly work in Spring Branch, Canyon Lake, Seguin, Schertz, and San Marcos. If you are just outside these areas, ask us; we may still be able to help.
Yes. Film and installation are covered by the manufacturer-backed warranty terms, which we review with you before any work begins.
