Hey there! Thanks for the questions. In my opinion, the best percentage of window film is either 15% VLT or 30% VLT if you want to maintain standard visibility. I recommend using dual reflective window films because they provide privacy and significant heat reduction without creating a reflection on the interior side of the home, allowing for good nighttime visibility. You can find our films online. In my personal opinion, dual reflective window films offer the best value for your money.

Is there a place where i can see the differences of different window films? When i go to purchase them only theres different colours. Black/Silver, Blue/Sliver, Brown/Silver, or just Silver. I'm not looking for light reduction as much. Im ok with a little light reduction but mainly looking for heat reduction.

Any recommendations for Anderson windows? I think they're dual panel. I don't want glass shattering

Man you make it look easy. When i try the reverse roll and i let it drop it only unrolls a little bit it doesn't unroll all the way can you tell me what im doing wrong is it the kind of adhesive on the film im using? The tint sticks to any surface it touches so it would stick to the timber window frame in this video I assume it's different to the preasure sensitive adhesive tint you are using in this video

Good stuff keep it up

What brand of tint was used in the video?

Thanks for the video. It helped a lot but still have questions. I have looked at your links and the comments. You show us how to do this but I don't see a link for the actual window film. You've linked tools but the film has been difficult to find. I went to your website and it is for someone to come do it for me. Well, I live in a duplex. I have looked at Amazon and the results keep showing me one way film, which I don't want. Also, I am having trouble finding one with good reviews. I live in Texas and have about 5 windows that get bright sun. I want to be able to see both ways and just block the glare and some heat. Could you please tell me if I'm overlooking something? Thank you.

Hello, thank you so much for your tips. Q: Can i just install the new tint over the old window frosted glass sticker? The frosted glass sticker is so difficult to remove because it comes in many shapes on the window glass.

better to remove it with a scrapper blade but yes it is possible.

Not sure I saw correctly, but from other videos, you adhered the opposite side that others have done. All other videos I have watched, the installer has placed the side where the film protection was removed, while you did the opposite..at least that is what I did see on first viewing..

@rcwindowfilms

Жыл бұрын

we back roll the film and by doing so it removes the liner placing it on the back side of the film. On video it's hard to catch unless explained. Good catch but all films have a sticky adhesive that is activated by uv light. This includes exterior window film.

Looking to keep our view of outside and let sun light in, but create privacy. What kind of film would you recommend and where would we get it? Thanks

@rcwindowfilms

4 ай бұрын

In my personal opinion, I would say a dual reflective window film. It may sound counterintuitive, but dual reflective simply means the interior is less reflective than the exterior side of the film. This film will not allow others to see in during the daytime hours, but will allow you to see out. Additionally, this film provides great UV protection and heat reduction as well as allows natural light to come in the preferred visible light transmission would be 30%. What this means is 30% of the light will still be allowed to come in which is pretty significant after the film is fully installed

What do you do if the gasket around the panel is about 5mm? Do you ever trim the gasket back?

It really depends. We sometimes trim seals if the customer approves or remove them and reinstall them after film application.

Can I use a window film on double pane glass? If the window film says the absorption is 43% is that ok for double pane glass filled with the gas?

@rcwindowfilms

Жыл бұрын

Yes, you most certainly can install window film on dual pane windows however, it’s important to identify where the Low e coating is present. A lot of times low e coatings are on the interior portion of the window. If it’s on surface three it’s best to avoid applying an interior film and go with an exterior film. Lois surface threes on the interior portion of the window so the side that you can touch from the inside of the house on/in between the glass if there’s a coat there, install an exterior film

What is the name/ color of the material you are using,

@rcwindowfilms

Жыл бұрын

This material is a dual reflective material that has a a slight bronze tone to it. the interior of the film is a dye base that has a neutral gray tone that helps counteract the bronze exterior providing a natural look from the interior looking out while reducing total solar energy by nearly 80%.

After installing my film, I have a kind of "milky" color between the glass and the film. Why do I get this ? I clean VERY well my glasses and even scrape it before installing the film

@rcwindowfilms

10 ай бұрын

The most likely cause of the issue is using excessive soap during the window tinting process. If you overlap the squeegee and there's too much soap, it can mix with the adhesive, resulting in a cloudy or milky appearance.

I just had a professional company install tine on my windows in my house. They left light gaps in all my windows. Then they came back and caulked the windows. Honestly, it doesn't look good. They did a crappy job on the caulking. I have never had anything tinted but I was surprised that with a straight edge there was light gaps. Is this normal or just a crappy install?

@rcwindowfilms

3 ай бұрын

I certainly think that the darker, the film, the more like gap you’re able to see, especially if you have white frame windows with a very dark film. Or whatever contrast the most. caulking is definitely something that’s not easy to get straight and look perfect but it can certainly help mitigate the amount of light gap. What a perfect job is is one that you’re most satisfied with. It sounds like you’re unsatisfied. I would highly recommend you reach out to the company and see what solutions they’re able to offer.

Definitely, it's a bit of an advanced technique. But trust me, with a bit of practice and by adding some water underneath the liner, it'll adhere perfectly due to the vacuum effect when applied to the back of the film. This method is especially effective on larger windows.
