Frosted (Day & Night), Shatterproof, One-Way, Solar — We Install All Types
Sliding glass doors (also called patio doors) are the largest single pane of glass in most Arizona homes — and the biggest privacy, heat-gain, and break-in problem. When you tint sliding glass doors with the right film, you solve all three without replacing the door or blocking the view.

Six film categories — each solves a different sliding door problem.
Consistent 24/7 privacy that diffuses light without blocking it. Available in simple frost, patterns, etched glass effects, and gradient styles. The most popular choice for sliding doors facing neighbors, pools, and streets.
Best for: Bathrooms, bedrooms, pool-facing doors
Browse frosted films →Mirror-like exterior during the day provides privacy while maintaining clear outward views from inside. Excellent heat rejection. Reverses at night — interior becomes visible when lights are on and it is dark outside.
Best for: Living rooms, dens, daytime entertaining
Learn about one-way film →Premium heat rejection (up to 84% infrared blocked) with a light neutral tint that reduces interior visibility from outside. Not full privacy — but significantly reduces how clearly outsiders can see in while maintaining your views.
Best for: West-facing sliders, hot rooms, energy savings
Residential window tinting →Frosted on the bottom portion, gradually transitioning to clear at the top. Provides privacy at eye level while preserving sky views and natural light through the upper portion. Popular for modern and minimalist aesthetics.
Best for: Street-facing doors, modern homes, partial privacy
View gradient films →Thick polyester film (4-14 mil) that holds glass together on impact. Does not provide visual privacy but prevents break-in through sliding glass — the most common residential entry point for burglars in Arizona.
Best for: Ground-floor sliders, security-conscious homes
Security film details →Hundreds of patterns — geometric, botanical, stained glass, rice paper, stripes. Privacy through visual complexity rather than opacity. Light still passes through. Available in 618+ Solyx SKUs.
Best for: Design-focused homes, entryways, pool areas

Most sliding door installations complete in 1-2 hours per door. We measure precisely on-site to account for frame insets, handle hardware, and any manufacturer markings on the glass. Our $500 minimum covers a single standard slider with budget solar film.

Both are called "patio doors" interchangeably, but the installation approach is very different. Here is how we handle each:

Security Upgrade
Sliding glass doors are the #1 residential break-in point in Arizona — the tempered glass shatters into pellets with a single strike, giving an intruder seconds of access. 8-mil and 14-mil security film bonds the glass so that, even when it shatters, the pane holds together as a single flexible sheet. Testing shows a filmed slider takes 30–90 seconds of sustained impact to defeat — long enough for alarms, dogs, or a phone call.
Security film is clear and can be combined with any frosted or solar film for combined privacy + shatter resistance.
