What is window tinting?
Is it a film or a Liquid? |
A. |
The film is a coated polyester sheet that
is applied to existing glass. Solar control films use
a very fine metal coating which filters the suns radiation
including over 98% of the Ultraviolet light. |
|
Will it make the room darker? |
A. |
This depends on the film chosen the Safety
films are absolutely clear but still provide a 98% plus
Ultra Violet filter. The Solar control films may affect
light levels but as your eyes automatically adjust to
different light levels, the degree is generally only 5
– 10%. The term for the eyes adjusting is visual
acuity and the actual percentage is noted on each sample.

|
Does it go on the inside or outside?
|
A. |
Inside in the majority of situations |
|
How long will it last? |
A. |
Most of the films have 10 year Manufacturers
warranties and several have Lifetime warranties. |
|
How does it stick on? |
A. |
A clear adhesive is applied to the film
during manufacture this is covered by a protective backing
sheet. The only chemical used in the installation is a
mild detergent. |
|
Will it bubble, peel, or change
colour? |
A. |
No, so long as a quality film is used and
installed to the standards the manufacturers specify.
We have been Accredited Dealers of DTI films since 1993
and provide Manufacturers warranties. A link to the manufacturers
Website is below for any further information. |
|
How do you clean it? |
A. |
The silicon hardcoat finish reduces the
need for cleaning and risk of scratching. A damp cloth
will remove marks and squeegee with detergent/ water when
necessary. |
|
Will Window Film stop my furnishings
from fading? |
A. |
Nothing completely stops fading. Solar films
are designed to help reduce the major causes of fading
(ultra violet light, visible light, and solar heat), thus
prolonging the life of your furnishings, perhaps as much
as two to five times. |
|
Will Window tint ruin my view? |
A. |
Unlike many preconceived notions, most residential
window film is very lightly tinted. This is because it
is not the color or darkness of the film that offers you
most of your benefits, but rather the films properties
(makeup) that perform most of the work. In fact, having
window film installed will usually enhance your view. |
