Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much can window film reduce heat?
    The amount of heat reduction depends on the type of film. Darker, more reflective films will offer the highest amount of heat rejection.
  • How long does it take to install window tint?
    The installation process depends on the scope of the work and a few various factors (height of the windows, old film removal, type of windows, etc.) Our smaller and mid-size installations usually take about 1-3 hours to complete.
  • Can tint be repaired?
    No, it would need to be removed and replaced.
  • What kind of film provides great clarity?
    Ceramic window films provide a neutral, non-reflective view while keeping out the heat and harmful UV rays. Ceramic films do not obstruct your view from the inside or outside while still allowing the natural light to enter.
  • Does tint go on the inside or the outside?
    The film is usually installed on the interior of the windows. If an exterior installation is needed, we offer films meant for exterior use only.
  • Can I apply decals or logos underneath or on top of the film after it's installed?
    It is not recommended. If you remove a decal or logo that’s installed on top of film, it may damage the film underneath. It would be the same if you installed a logo under the film as well. The logo underneath the film would get damaged once the film is removed.
  • What is the turnaround time?
    We typically offer some of the fastest turn around times. The turnaround time for installations depends on factors like scope of work, type of film, shipping time, etc. For small to midsize projects the turnaround time ranges but can be 24-48 hours up to 7 days. For larger projects, the turnaround time can range depending on the scope of work.
  • Do you remove old film?
    Yes, we can remove old film.
  • What does the warranty cover?
    For interior films, there is a lifetime warranty for residention installations and a 10-15 year warranty for commercial installations. For exterior films, the warranty can range from 5 years to 7 years. The warranty covers peeling, bubbling, rippling, cracking, adhesive failure, delimitation, and demetallization.
  • How do I clean my tint?
    We recommend using a soft cloth or a clean synthetic sponge with soapy water to wipe down your windows. Please avoid using any bristle brushes, abrasive scrubbing sponges, or any materials that may have been contaminated with dirt particles. Some brands of paper towels are not recommended because they are coarse enough to put fine scratches on the film and may reduce the polished appearance of the film over time.
  • Are you properly licensed and insured?
    We are a licensed and insured company.
