How is window film installed? Why settle for less than the best for your vehicle?
To begin the installation process, your windows are thoroughly cleaned to ensure that even the smallest pieces of dirt are removed. Next, a piece of film is cut to the size of your window, and a release liner is removed, exposing the film’s adhesive. An application solution is sprayed onto your window, and the film is then carefully placed on the glass. Using a squeegee, the application solution is removed from between the glass and the film. Lastly, we will trim the edges of your film to ensure the perfect fit for your windows.
Does the tint go on the outside or inside of my car’s windows?
Tint goes on the inside. At first, the film will be laid on the outside of the window and then cut to fit the right shape. Next, the pieces of film are placed on a large piece of glass and trimmed. Then, it will be installed to the inside of the windows.
How long will it take to install window tint on my vehicle?
Installation time typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the type of vehicle and the number of windows being tinted.
Can you have window tinting applied to your windows in wet or cold weather?
Yes. Because of the modern adhesive systems on today’s window tinting products, you can have your windows tinted even if it’s freezing outside. Our professional installers always work in our specialized, temperature-controlled work area.
How long should I keep my windows rolled up after I have window tint installed?
If windows are rolled down too soon after the installation, the tint can peel off. If this happens, we can redo windows at a low cost or free depending on circumstances. To avoid this, we recommend keeping your windows up for at least 2 days.
How long does the film take to fully cure?
Cure time refers to the drying time of the leftover application solution after an install. While we try to get all of the solution off after every application, it is nearly impossible. Therefore, the cure time depends on the film type and drying time of the remaining solution. While this is happening, it is still performing to its full capabilities, but you might see bubbles, haze, streaks, or other visual defects while drying. Don’t be alarmed! This is completely normal while the remaining solution evaporates. Additionally, the cure time can vary given different circumstances. If it’s a hot summer day, the film might be cured in a few days. On the other hand, if it’s a chilly winter day the curing process might last a few weeks. During the cure time, it’s normal to see bubbles, streaks, and other visual defects.
