The Revenue Stack
Six revenue lines per bay.
Window tint pays the bills. Ceramic and PPF build the wealth. Owners stack services in a single shop — and capture the entire vehicle, not just the windows.
Our brand story
Twenty years in the bay. Now in the franchise system.
Polar Tint started as two affiliate-owned tint shops in Las Vegas, operating continuously since 2014 under the LV Pro Tint brand. The operating playbook — from install technique to ticket strategy to multi-service stacking — was tested in the bay for a decade before it became a franchise system.
The franchise was built by an operator (Sean Kiffor, CFO) with 12 years of in-shop experience, not by a franchise consultant. Every standard, training module, and unit-economics model originated from a real shop running real numbers.

The structural difference
Built by operators. Backed by the factory.
Polar Tint isn't a brand pivoting into tint. The parent company is Glacier Manufacturing — we build the film. Franchisees buy at just over manufacturing cost, not the 100–1000%+ markup distributors charge.
Parent-supplier wholesale
Buy film at parent cost.
Glacier makes the film. Most shops pay 100% to 1000%+ distributor markup. Polar Tint franchisees pay just over manufacturing cost.
5-year term
Half the typical commitment.
Most franchise contracts lock owners for 10 years. Polar Tint's term is five — renewable, but on your call.
Same bay, same crew
Three service lines stacked.
Window film, ceramic coating, paint protection — one shop, one workforce. Capture the whole vehicle.
