Another possible reason may be that window tinting cannot really provide the benefits that you are expecting from it.
This will serve as your guide to help you understand and discover the most common disbeliefs about window tint. Provided below are some of the most common and most important questions about window tints and the real answers to those questions. We will also encompass some of the common mistakes of people about their expectations from window tint installation. Throughout this article, you will be provided with facts.
FAQ 1: Do all kinds of window tint provide privacy?
ANS: There are window tints or window films that can guarantee your privacy. Darker tinted films are the ones that can guarantee your privacy protection. Some types of frosted films can also protect your privacy.On the other hand, reflective films cannot really assure your privacy all the time. It can, during the day; but when the night comes, the mirror or reflective effect is gone and you need to make use of additional window coverings to enjoy your privacy.
FAQ 2: I had window tint installation on my glass windows. It has been months and nothing changed at all! My house is still hot, energy bills are in fact increasing and the sun glare really irritates my eyes. Why is it that the window film can’t seem to work for my glass windows?
ANS: There are many possible reasons for that. One thing is that maybe the films are not installed properly. It could also be because the window films used are of poor quality. Some unauthorized providers sell fake or low quality window films. Now if you are sure that the installation is correct and the window films used are not the substandard ones, it may be because the climate at your place is really hot, or may be you are just consuming much of your electricity in other ways (e.g. using the drier too much, constantly running the air conditioning, etc).
FAQ 3: I had a window tint installation for my glass doors and windows last week. About two days after, a part of my glass window cracked. Was this because of the installation?
ANS: If what was done on the glass was the old way of window tinting, the crack might be because of too much heat. But in the case of a window tint film, it is very rare that the installation is the probable reason for the breakage, regardless if its a professional installation or a do-it-yourself one. This case is the one that needs further study. The complication worsens when the customer will now ask for a warranty. There will be a big question if the warranty will be acquired from the window film provider or from the one who installed your glass windows. If the breakage is not because of the window film and not the fault of the window installer either, it could be because of other factors that are still yet to be discovered.
