Mistakes when choosing window films

If you choose the wrong type of glass film, there will be no desired solution to the problem and the film will not solve the problem.
- Do not think that the matte film protects from heat. The matte film does not have a metallization layer, and it does not reflect solar heat.
- Do not think that solar control films protect against splinters. No, this type of window film is not as thick and has a different adhesive.
Glass films quality and properties
High-quality glass films do not distort the image, do not obstruct the view and do not strain the eyes. Quality glass films have a thickness of 50 microns, it is easy to work with and they last a long time.
The availability of detailed technical data indicates that window tint film meets manufacturing standards. This allows you to use window films in the work of professional tint specialists and on different objects.

What is quality glass film? Let's tell you what low-quality window films are
- Cloudy in the light, as if through dirty glass. If low-quality raw materials or secondary raw materials were used in the manufacture, the films are cloudy and not transparent, but very cheap. Recycled materials such as plastic bottles are not highly purified, the film is cloudy and difficult to see through.
- Very, very thin. It must be understood that there is a thickness of the window film itself, and there is a thickness with a protective liner. Thin window film lasts a shorter period, dries quickly and fades. It's harder to install.
- Not a clear reflection. Hazy mirror and sun protection films have a weak metallization, a weak mirror effect and, as a result, a low efficiency of heat reflection. There is a film on the glass, but there is almost no effect.
- Weak adhesive, such films peel off or fall off the glass during operation
- Lack of complete technical data
Service life of window glass film
We offer professional glass films with a long service life
- Interior window films last 9 years or more.
- Films installed outside serve 4 years and more. On windows with vertical glass up to 5 years. The service life of exterior window film depends on specific conditions and may vary plus or minus 1 year
After the specified period, tint film does not disappear from the window and does not stop working. The film begins to gradually break down and change its appearance on the glass. Natural loss and destruction of approximately 10% -20% per year.
Availability of technical data in the description of window films for glass
Professional glass films have complete and detailed technical data. Technical data in numbers tells about the effect and possibilities. It is possible to identify the main indicators
- VLR % light reflectance
- VLT % light transmission
- IR rejection % - reflection of infrared radiation
- UV rejection % - reflection of ultraviolet radiation
- TSER % - total reflection of solar energy
- Thickness MKM
- And others
The technical data of window film glass make it possible to compare different models with each other and to imagine the possible effect.
