You don’t have to cover your entire house

Sometimes people choose to just have one or two windows covered. If that’s you, we can certain help. Maybe you have a couple of large windows in your living room that you’d like covered. You can leave your bedroom and bathroom windows uncovered if you can’t decide, or only want a couple of windows covered. Or use a different style of window film on those windows–it’s up to you.
