WINDOW FILM FAQs

  • Not quite. Each window has different specifications based on factors like direction, number of panes, coatings, or whether it’s tempered or heat-strengthened. Our glass reader technology and years of expertise allow us to match the right film to your specific windows and needs.

  • We recommend you use a microfiber cloth with a mild glass cleaner such as Windex. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives, or razor blades to protect the film.

  • Yes, tint can be removed. Whether you’re changing the look or your needs have changed, removal is possible. We recommend having it done professionally for the best results.

  • That’s just a small amount of moisture left after installation. Like automotive tint, the film needs time to dry and cure—usually up to 30 days. Once cured, the streaks and bubbles will disappear.
