FAQs

A “lifetime warranty” has become standard terminology in the industry of window films. Many lifetime warranties do not cover fading or film replacement. Warranties come with limitations on replacement cost, therefore allowing labor to be charged at the discretion of the window tinting shop to replace the film. ”Lifetime Warranty” has become exploited by marketers and causes confusion to the consumer.

Yes, we carry window tint film that meet the State of California as follows:
  • The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, within certain limited exceptions.
  • However, legislation signed into law effective Jan 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays.

Yes. We do carry window films that provide the highest level of UVA and UVB rejection by blocking up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays. Thus, allowing window film’s protective shield to help defend against the dangers of UV and helping keep interiors such as furniture, floorings, wall coverings, automobile and most importantly your loved ones.

IR stands for Infrared rays that are responsible for warming and the sensation of heat.

More than half of the film in the industry will fade over a period of time due to sun exposure. Some films will fade completely within a 2 year time frame and other films fade slowly over time. Because technology is always advancing, it enables us to provide films that don’t fail. Not all film manufacturers offer warranties that cover this.

Yes. All films bubble over a period of time. This has been an ongoing problem for years, and will continue to be a problem for years to come. The reason film can bubble is because some film adhesives will fail to last due to sun exposure, while other films with better adhesive (which is more costly to the consumer) may last longer. It is important to understand the manufacturer’s warranty of the film being installed. Always make sure you are covered by a 100% Lifetime warraty none of that limited lifetime warraty.

Yes and No. Unfortunately, even the highest quality window film won’t last forever, and at some stage it will wear out to the point that it may need to be removed or replaced.

The average time is 24 hours. Although it can vary, depending on the time of year and the weather.

Yes a 10 year manufacturer warranty.

When you use a computer to cut out the patterns for the car, you fully eliminate any chance for cut gaskets and etched glass. The computer cut will cut the ting completely separate from your car, giving you a straighter top, edges and more precise fitments for any make and model.

We do not offer this service because we know the importance of providing a clean and controled relaxed environment (establishment) to ensure the proper installation of the window film. Dust free and temputure between 68-78 degrees make instalation ideal and stress free.

Yes and No. Factory film last longer than window films. Unfortunately most factory films lack solar properties. After-market film provides you superior UV & IR protection and can be placed over factory tint to increase the amount of protection.

Walk-ins are always welcome! We encourage that you make an appointment to guarantee same day service.

No. There is not any window film that will give you day and night privacy. In order for the film to give you maximum privacy it requires light on one side of the window to create a one-way effect. We do carry décor film that will provide you daytime and nighttime privacy with restricted vision on both sides.

Yes. There are usually many rebates available depending on the area where you reside and sometimes even tax credits!

No, window film will absolutely not make any glass bullet proof.

No Window film is not cut with a laser and no such thing. It is a digitally cut with a plotter that uses a very shape blade directed by a computer program called Computer Cut.
