FAQs

Window film offers numerous advantages, including improved eye comfort, protection from ultraviolet rays, enhanced aesthetics, increased safety measures, greater privacy, and improved energy efficiency.

The percentages associated with window film refer to light transmission, indicating the amount of light permitted through the film. A lower percentage corresponds to a darker tint.

Generally, window film is installed on the interior side of the glass to ensure maximum durability. For vehicles, the tint is first cut to size on the exterior of the window, then applied to the interior surface.

After tinting, wait one week before cleaning the interior of the treated windows. Use an ammonia-free window cleaner and a soft cloth or rubber squeegee. Foam cleaners are recommended as they typically don't streak and are ammonia-free. Avoid using abrasive materials or blades, as these can damage the film.

Damaged window film cannot be repaired. However, the affected section can be removed and the window can be retinted to restore its appearance and functionality.

The duration of the tinting process varies depending on the vehicle type. A complete car typically requires 2 to 4 hours, while full-sized trucks usually take 1 to 1.5 hours. Front doors can be tinted in 30-45 minutes. Removing old aftermarket film may add 30 minutes to half a day to the process.

Window films can indeed enhance privacy. They allow clear visibility from the inside out while offering various levels of privacy from external viewing during daylight hours, depending on the specific film chosen.

Window film does enhance safety and security by adding a layer of shatter resistance to glass surfaces in homes, buildings, or vehicles. The film bonds to the glass, helping to contain potentially dangerous fragments if breakage occurs due to accidents, natural disasters, or forced entry attempts.

It is advisable to keep vehicle windows in the up position for a minimum of 24 hours following window film installation. This allows sufficient time for the film to properly adhere to the glass before the window is moved.

Aftermarket window film can be applied over factory window tint, which is a coloration within the glass itself. Aftermarket films offer superior solar benefits, blocking 99% of ultraviolet rays and 35%-60% of heat, depending on the film grade. Additionally, combining aftermarket tint with factory tint can provide increased privacy for storing personal items in vehicles.
