🍏 Craft, Community & Comfort: How Tint Works Elevated the Trailbreaker Cider Experience in Liberty Lake

Trailbreaker Cider isn’t just a cidery—it’s a gathering place. Tucked into the heart of Liberty Lake, Washington, this modern-meets-rustic destination blends industrial design with handcrafted flavor. Known for its wide-open garage doors, sweeping views of the landscape, and crisp, refreshing ciders, it has quickly become a local favorite for families, friends, and foodies alike.

But with great glass comes great responsibility.

Those beautiful, full-glass garage doors that invite sunlight also welcome in intense glare, heat, and UV exposure—factors that affect customer comfort and drive up energy costs. That’s when Trailbreaker Cider reached out to Tint Works, the Inland Northwest’s leading window film professionals.

A Local Tinting Company with Deep Roots

Founded right here in North Idaho, Tint Works has been proudly serving Coeur d’Alene, Liberty Lake, and Spokane for over a decade. We specialize in residential and commercial window film solutions, helping local businesses reduce energy costs, improve aesthetics, and create more comfortable environments for customers and staff.

We’re not just a tint company—we’re part of the community. From downtown storefronts to lakeside homes, we’ve built a reputation for honest service, high-end installation, and unmatched expertise. It’s why top-tier businesses like Trailbreaker trust us with their most visible assets.

The Project: Trailbreaker’s Glass Garage Doors

Trailbreaker’s tasting room is lined with tall, garage-style glass doors that open up to their patio and lawn space. These doors are a showpiece—but they also introduced a few problems:

• Harsh afternoon glare on guests and tables

• Solar heat gain, especially in the warmer months

• Fading of furniture, floors, and décor from UV exposure

• Increased strain on HVAC systems

To address these, we installed LLumar Dual-Reflective Window Film, one of the best-performing films in the industry for commercial spaces.

Why LLumar Window Film?

LLumar is known for its high-quality, U.S.-manufactured films that deliver performance without sacrificing style. For Trailbreaker, we used a dual-reflective series, which offers:

• Up to 78% solar heat rejection – keeping interiors cool, even with full sun

• Up to 99% UV protection – preventing fading of wood, fabrics, and art

• Improved energy efficiency – lowering utility bills and reducing HVAC wear

• Balanced glare reduction – perfect for guests enjoying food, drinks, or trivia night

The film is nearly invisible from the inside looking out, preserving those stunning mountain and lawn views that Trailbreaker is known for.

More Than Just Cider

If you’ve never visited Trailbreaker Cider, let this be your invitation.

Housed in a modern, two-story facility that includes a production room, tasting space, kitchen, and a full restaurant, Trailbreaker has become a destination for locals and tourists alike. Their lineup of small-batch ciders—like Raspberry Honeycrisp and Cucumber Mint—are made from Washington-grown apples and pressed on-site. You can taste the freshness in every pour.

They host weekly events like trivia nights and live music, and offer expansive indoor and outdoor seating that’s perfect for large groups or cozy conversations. Plus, they’ve built a family-friendly vibe where everyone feels welcome—from the weekday remote worker to weekend adventurers.

The Result: Comfort, Efficiency, and Aesthetics

After the install, the difference was immediate:

• Guests now enjoy a more comfortable atmosphere, with less squinting and sweating.

• Staff noticed better climate control, and the HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard.

• The interior furnishings are better protected, preserving Trailbreaker’s stylish, wood-accented decor.

For Trailbreaker, it’s a win on all fronts: a better experience for customers, energy savings for the business, and long-term protection of their investment.
