Windshield protection film in Calgary

A clear, replaceable layer on your windshield for Calgary gravel and road grit. Clear or tinted, $299 for a standard-size windshield.

It adds protection, but a rock can still chip or crack the glass. It isn’t damage-proof, and it’s a separate service from windshield tint.

Clear windshield protection film being laid on a white SUV in our bay
Our bay: film going on a windshield.

TL;DR: the short version

What it does
A clear or tinted layer on your windshield takes sand, grit and light pitting instead of the glass, and gets replaced when it’s worn. $299 for a standard-size windshield.
Who it may suit
Highway commutes, gravel roads, or a windshield you’ve already replaced once.
The trade-off
A rock can still chip or crack the glass under it. Wipers and winter wear the film, and there’s no fixed lifespan: plan on replacing it.

What it does, and what it doesn’t

Does

  • Acts as a sacrificial layer: road grit, sand and light pitting wear the film instead of the glass.
  • Stays clear, or cuts glare with the tinted version.
  • Gets replaced when it’s worn, so the wear doesn’t stay on your windshield.

Doesn’t

  • Make the glass chip-proof or crack-proof. A rock can still chip or crack the windshield under the film: it isn’t bulletproof, and it’s no guarantee against damage or a replacement.
  • Last forever: wipers, winter and driving wear it, and over time that wear can get in the way of your view. There’s no fixed lifespan: when to replace it depends on its condition.
  • Heal every scratch or rock pit. It depends on the film.

Inside the installation

Lay. Tuck. Trim. Finish. These are our own installation photos.

  3. Close-up of the trimmed film edge at the windshield corner

    03 Trim Fit it to the edge of the glass.

  4. The finished white SUV parked outside, windshield film on

    04 Finish Inspect the finished windshield.

Before you book

  • Your windshield. We check the glass condition, the edges, head-up displays, cameras and heated glass before we recommend a film.
  • How it looks from the driver’s seat. People notice windshield film differently. Ask to see a real example in different light.
  • Your view. Some moisture can remain while the film cures. Haze, glare or distortion that affects your view isn’t normal: come back and have it looked at, and don’t drive with an impaired view.
  • Where film is allowed. A clear film or high light transmission doesn’t by itself make a placement permitted. Ask us about the requirements for your glass.

Wipers and winter

  • Wiper marks and surface wear can develop. Keep using your wipers as you need to.
  • Follow the film’s instructions for washing and ice removal. Ask us before you use a scraper, cleaner or treatment on it.

When to replace it

There’s no set schedule and no guaranteed lifespan. It’s a wear layer, made to be replaced: how long it stays good depends on your roads, your wipers, winter and care. These are the things to weigh.

Its condition
Rock pits, scratches and wiper marks build up in the film. A few small marks may not matter yet; many, or marks in a cluster, are a sign it’s worn.
Clarity and your view
Look through it at night, in rain and in low sun. Haze, glare, streaks or wear in your line of sight are what count most. If wear affects your view, replace it, and don’t drive with an impaired view.
What replacing does
New film renews the sacrificial layer, so road grit wears a fresh surface instead of the glass. Replacement can restore clarity lost to film wear.
The trade-offs
Replacing sooner keeps your view clearer, with a new installation each time. Keeping it longer costs less for now, but the wear keeps building in your view. A rock can chip or crack the glass with new film or old.

Not sure? Bring it in and we’ll look at it with you. During the warranty, removing film we installed is free, even if you don’t want new film; new film is a new installation at the usual price, unless an approved warranty claim covers it.

Warranty

Limited film warranty: 1 year or 16,000 km, whichever comes first. It covers film defects that cause yellowing, cracking of the film, blistering or delamination.

  • Not covered: normal wear, wiper scratches, road impacts, and damage from incompatible products or improper care. It covers the film, not chips, cracks or other damage to the glass.
  • Approved claims: we remove the defective film, or remove and replace it, at no charge. There are no cash refunds under this limited warranty.
  • A replacement keeps the original expiry date and the original 16,000 km limit.
  • Removal is free during the warranty. Within 1 year or 16,000 km, we remove windshield film we installed at no charge, even if you don’t want new film. New film after that is a new installation at the usual price, unless an approved warranty claim covers it.
  • To raise a concern, contact us at book@superaf.ca or 587-900-9494 with your installation date, the distance driven since, and what you’ve noticed. This warranty doesn’t limit your rights under the law.
