FAQ

-
Does the tint bubble up after time?No, we only use the highest quality films and fit them professionally. The adhesives are designed to withstand extreme temperatures. Bubbles appear from poorer quality film adhesives breaking down.​

-
Do my vehicle windows have to be clean prior to arrival?No. But, we do need to know if you think your vehicle has been tinted before, or you've tried to tint it yourself, possibly leaving un-noticed adhesive on the windows which then can incur an additional costs to remove and clean ready for your new installation. Worst-case scenario, we would need to view your vehicle first.

I've noticed a few scratches on the outside of the glass, now that my vehicle has been tinted where have they come from?"On clear glass you wouldn't notice existing glass scratches.

-
​How do security films work?Security films work in the same manner as window films work, except they are much thicker. When glass without film applied is broken it has no support and can fall completely out. This is a major fault as far as security and safety. When any window film is applied, it bonds to windows and prevents it from separating easily. window film comes in various thicknesses. Window security films can either eliminate entry or considerably slow intruders down so police response from alarms can work. Without window films, an intruder can break and enter through a window, grab a computer and be out the window in 15-seconds.
